The ocean produces most of the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate, feeds billions and powers global economies. It is home to over 80 percent of all life on Earth. This blog explains WHY the ocean is essential to life on our planet, what science says about its vital functions and why protecting it must be a global priority.

How can we protect the ocean before it is too late? At Ocean Sentinels, we turn raw data into timely, decision-ready intelligence. This blog explains how our modular platform delivers live alerts, shared dashboards, and fully traceable insights to those who protect the sea. It is designed for action when every minute matters.

Ocean ecosystems are collapsing fast. Over half of coral reefs, kelp forests, and fish populations are already gone. Most protected areas lack enforcement and timely, accurate insights. This blog explores what’s driving the crisis, what’s at stake for the climate, and how platforms like Ocean Sentinels can help us protect and restore the ocean before it’s too late.
