The ocean has absorbed 90 percent of the excess heat we've created with greenhouse gas emissions. Today, it's hotter and more acidic, and less hospitable for marine life. The ocean is also a powerful source of climate solutions, from renewable energy development to nature-based carbon storage.

Meet the adorable snailfish 🐌🐟, the deep sea's little explorer that uses the fins on its chin to feel for its meals in the deep ocean depths. The deep sea is one of the most unexplored areas on Earth. We can protect this underwater wonderland together!
