Overview
Our oceans cover over 70% of our planet's surface, drive our climate system, and over 90% of the world's trade is carried by sea. Our ocean environment affects us every day, through weather, the food we eat, and the stuff we use. Yet, ocean data is exceedingly sparse, and we know more about the surface of the moon than the waters surrounding us.
