The Roles of the Ocean

There are many species of life in the ocean. Since life in the ocean is always food for something else, the food webs are complex and kept in a fine balance. Humans are also included in this food web. Which means, human activities such as overfishing or polluting water cause something bad for humans in the end.

Moreover, the ocean helps reduce carbon dioxide. It absorbs about 30% of the carbon dioxide that humans produce. However, because the amount of carbon dioxide, or greenhouse gas, is so large, it causes water to warm up. Because of human activities, the ocean has been damaged, and this has led to the loss of ocean ecosystems.
