COMIC: Exploring the ocean's wonderous, mysterious depths
Briefly

Approximately half of the world's oxygen is produced by the ocean. Many crucial medicines have originated from ocean discoveries, including a painkiller derived from a sea snail. Surprisingly, scientists possess more knowledge about space than Earth's ocean, with humans having explored and observed only 0.001% of the deep sea floor. This information reveals the vast mysteries of the ocean and indicates the potential for future discoveries about marine life and ecosystems.
