The importance of protecting the oceans and their relation to climate change

The podcast episode discusses the significance of protecting the oceans, not only for sea life but also for addressing climate change. The oceans cover three-quarters of the planet and play a crucial role in producing half of the planet's oxygen. Additionally, they absorb over 90% of the excess heat and support around 3 billion people indirectly.

It is vital for people to understand and prioritize the protection of the oceans to ensure our survival.
