Why is the Ocean important? Explore the ecosystem keeping us all alive.Â
In this Ocean education resource, students will dive into the wonders of our Ocean, explore key ecosystems from coastlines to the deep sea and investigate human activities threatening Ocean health.
Through interactive slides, real-world examples and student-led reflection, they’ll begin to understand how climate change, pollution and resource extraction (like overfishing) impact marine life – and the health of our planet.  Random link test.Â
