Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface, contain most of the planet’s biodiversity, and produce at least half of its oxygen. Climate change, overfishing, and pollution pose grave threats to this critical habitat and the invaluable resources it provides. In honor of World Oceans Day 2023, on June 8, this Collection brings together research that helps us better understand, and better protect, our oceans.
