Passage: The ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth's surface and is home to millions of species. It regulates our climate, produces oxygen, and provides food for billions of people. Yet, human activities like pollution, overfishing, and climate change are threatening this vital ecosystem. Scientists warn that if we do not act now, many marine species could face extinction within the next few decades.
