Explore the ocean by investigating the biodiversity of life that fills this vast space and the remarkable ecosystems in which they live. Study ocean history and changes across time, which have affected life in the sea and its physical attributes. The ocean and life within it interact and depend upon each other in amazing ways—study these intricate webs. As part of the Earth ecosystem, how do we, as humans, impact life in the ocean and what can we do, as scientists and citizens, to respect, appreciate, and care for our precious ocean?
