I Am the Ocean

You may think of the ocean as the big body of water you see at your favorite beach, but the ocean is much more than that. All animals, including humans, need water to live, and water passes from ocean to the air and back again through the water cycle. The world’s oceans also help us to breathe, giving us more than half of our oxygen.

I Am the Ocean is a call to raise awareness of this vital resource and the problems facing it. Learn more about I Am the Ocean on National Geographic.

CountryGirl you took the words right out of my mouth! I’ve been planning on doing that since I was 7! The Ocean is a vital part in life and many creatures call it their home. There’s so much still to discover in the ocean so don’t pollute! Go blue! Go green!
