Why is the ocean vital for our survival? - Woods Hole Oceanographic ...
28 Dec 2025 at 4:54am
Without the ocean, life as we know it wouldn't be possible. There are a number of key reasons why. First, the ocean is the largest source of oxygen on Earth. According to scientists, approximately half of the planet's oxygen production originates from the sea. Most of this oxygen is created in the top 200 meters (656 feet) of the ocean's surface.

Why is the ocean blue? People have wondered this for hundreds of years. One idea is that it reflects the sky. And it does-on the surface. From the coast, it may appear a deep blue on a sunny day. Or gray when it's stormy. Or even turn a brilliant pink during sunrise or sunset. But if we sink below the surface, the blue color remains. Here, the water isn't reflecting the sky. The blue hue is ...
