Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth and drive weather, regulate temperature, and support life on this planet. Our oceans are a vast system of diverse and complex ecosystems and natural resources; and the health of the world’s oceans is inextricably tied to the health of our planet.

And amazingly, up to 95% of the ocean realm remains an unexplored mystery.

Throwing paper airplanes into ocean off cruise ship

My husband had the brilliant idea of throwing paper airplanes off a cruise ship into the ocean. I was appalled. I couldn’t believe it. I forbade it. I went nuts. His reaction was it is going to decompose. My question is, will it? Can someone explain whether paper will decompose or how is it bad? Could someone explain the science of what happens and how it affects animals. Thanks.

Good ocean documentaries with as little trypophobia (holes/circles) as possible?

Hi, me and my partner were going to watch a film and had to turn it off within less than five minutes because it was essentially trypophobia the movie and I have it bad. I’d love something that doesn’t include crazy amounts of up-close coral and anemone shots. I understand if a scene or two is in the film — that’s the ocean after all — but if anyone can recommend some good enjoyable movies about the ocean without copious amounts of closeup shots of my worst nightmares I would love that. Maybe something that focuses on fish or whatnot instead of corals? TIA!!

I like to go walking (Beaches, Forest etc.) alone. When I hear something nice, I take a break and record it. Been doing it for a couple of years now and composed a playlist with self-recorded nature soundscapes of all my times outside. If anyone is interested, I have linked it below :)

Antarctica: The Last Wilderness 🐋🇦🇶

Antarctica is known as the world's last wilderness - but for how much longer will that be true? 🇦🇶

With the whaling harpoons having been silenced in the Southern Ocean, a new -- and legalized -- destruction of Antarctica's pristine ecosystems has taken hold, so we had no choice but to return... 🌊
