We've Explored Space Better Than Our Own Ocean, How Is That Possible?

from How To Protect The Ocean · host Andrew Lewin - Marine Biologist & Science Communicator

How can we know more about the Moon and Mars than the bottom of our own ocean? It sounds impossible, but it is true. In this episode, we begin a special series on deep ocean exploration by uncovering why so much of our planet remains a mystery and why that matters more than ever. The deep ocean plays a critical role in regulating Earth's climate, supporting marine life, and helping sustain the ecosystems we depend on every day. Yet scientists have only explored a tiny fraction of it because of crushing pressure, complete darkness, and the enormous scale of the seafloor. You'll discover why exploring the deep sea is far more than an adventure; it is essential for making better decisions about conservation. This episode sets the stage for an upcoming interview with experts from Oceans Network Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada who are helping reveal Canada's hidden underwater world. Before we can protect the ocean, we first have to understand it. And that journey begins here.
