About the Oceans: Oceans are giant bodies of water that cover most of our planet. This water is mostly very salty and is salt water. They are home to millions of different creatures, from tiny fishes to huge whales. The oceans help to regulate the Earth's climate and provide us with food, transportation, and many other resources.

During researching the Sargasso Sea marine biologist Ed Carpenter first found white specks floating around brown sargassum seaweed later they realized it was plastic. If we all start now by making rules to not use plastic and stop throwing waste into oceans it's a start to save the planet.      Global warming  Global warming I'm sure you’ve heard of, you should know just because we can see it in front of our faces doesn't mean it's not happening. Global warming is one of the ways we are hurting the planet...
