Vast and teeming with life, our oceans are a place of wonder, mystery, and unique wildlife. From playful sea otters to the melodic songs of whales, ocean species captivate us at every turn.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s so much more than meets the eye beneath the waves with each species playing a role in balancing delicate ecosystems. Sadly, amidst the beauty of oceans, there are risks, most of which are human-made.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critically endangered North Atlantic right whales fight for survival from speeding ships, sharks unintentionally get caught and killed in fishing gear, climate change threatens coral reefs and biodiversity, and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
