A healthy world ocean is crucial to stabilize our climate. The ocean’s ability to store and release heat slowly helps maintain a more balanced climate on Earth, making life possible. The ocean acts as our planet’s largest heat sink and has been absorbing a vast amount of excess heat from the burning of fossil fuels for many years. But our world ocean is heating up far too quickly and we need to take collective action now. Each month this year we will provide ways for you to help our world ocean, and our shared climate, together.
Remember! Ocean literacy principle #1 is “the Earth has one big ocean with many features.” Remember to Drop the S!
It’s also a lifestyle, it’s a way of life, it’s a mindset, and together we are growing a movement! To help, we want to make it easy for you to make a big difference. Learn more about the 12 Months of Action by clicking here.
