Abstract

Oceans provide half of the oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere, absorb half of all global carbon emissions, regulate climate, mitigate the impacts of climate change (CC), determine weather patterns, stabilize coastlines, temperature and water cycles. Oceans account for 80% of the planet’s biodiversity (BD) and make a major contribution to food security and livelihoods.
