Oceans cover about 71% of Earth’s surface, yet much of them remain unexplored. Scientists estimate that more than 80% of the ocean floor has not been mapped in detail. Oceans play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate, supporting marine biodiversity, and providing resources for human livelihoods.
Efforts to explore and understand the oceans are ongoing, with advancements in technology enabling deeper and more comprehensive studies of these vast and mysterious waters.
