Did you know that the Earth's main lungs aren’t forests, but the ocean? While rainforests like the Amazon play a crucial role in producing oxygen, marine algae and phytoplankton generate over 50% of the world's oxygen—more than all the forests combined! These microscopic organisms absorb CO₂ and release oxygen through photosynthesis, just like trees. But because the ocean covers 70% of the planet, their impact is massive. However, climate change and pollution threaten these vital oxygen producers. Rising ocean temperatures and plastic waste disrupt phytoplankton populations, which could have serious consequences for the entire planet. Protecting the ocean isn’t just about marine life—it’s about the air we breathe.
