Oceans

Our oceans cover over 70% of our Earth's surface and have a tremendous impact on our biosphere. The oceans also contain 97% of the Earth's Water supply so you can see how incredibly vital its health is to us.

Less than 10% of the ocean has been explored which truly makes it the final frontier for us where we can explore strange new worlds.

It is estimated that 50 to 80% of all life on Earth is found in the oceans. What better place to seek out new life!
