Marine Habitat: The Beautiful World Underneath

MARINE HABITAT: THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD UNDERNEATH The oceans contain V9 of the living space on the planet. EXPLORED Less than 10% of that space has been explored by humans. DEEP SEA 90% of the volume constitutes the dark, cold environment we call the deep sea. A crab's teeth are in its STOMACH. Seahorses consume 3,000 or more brine shrimp per day. An octopus has 3 HEARTS.

The swordfish and marlin are the fastest fish in the ocean reaching speeds up to 75 MPH in quick bursts. EXCRETED THROUGH THEIR EYES. Sharks attack about 50-75 people each year worldwide, with 8-12 fatalities. Whereas, The blue whale is the largest animal on our planet ever (exceeding the size of the greatest known dinosaurs) and has a HEART THE SIZE OFA VOLKSWACEN. HUMANS KILL SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20-100 MILLION SHARKS every year.

Air pollution is responsible for 33% of the toxic contaminants that end up in oceans and coastal waters.

Fishing gear is the sea turtles' worst enemy, as well as loss of habitat and climate change. Centuries of overfishing have left one population bottom trawling extinct and one critically commercial fishing are endangered. Threatened by the gill nets used to catch fish, they are often killed unintentionally as bycatch. Ocean acidification and its major threats.
