Give the ocean a break. Give yourself a break.

Even if you never have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume. Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.

With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you're connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live.

Life in the ocean makes Earth hospitable. We are sailing along in the universe and we have a blue engine that is making everything alright.

We are taking way more out of the ocean than the ocean can replenish.

The ocean governs the climate and the weather, it is taking care of the temperature and it is shaping the chemistry of our planet.
