Oceanic Ecosystem Services

Oceanic ecosystem services are the natural benefits that oceans provide to life on Earth. These include supporting biodiversity, regulating climate by absorbing greenhouse gases, producing oxygen through marine plants like phytoplankton, and maintaining healthy fish populations for food. Oceans also protect coastlines from storms and erosion by acting as buffers and filters, and contribute to the economy through fisheries, tourism, and renewable energy. Overall, healthy oceans sustain ecological balance and human well-being, making their preservation vital for a sustainable future.
