Some people go whale watching.
Some people long to swim with dolphins. Others earn their livelihood fishing for giant tuna in a vast ocean. These marine animals capture our attention and our imagination. We have a connection to all the living things of the ocean, from the microscopic floating plants that supply us with the oxygen we breathe to the huge blue whale that fills its belly with a ton of krill. Microscopic or oversized, plant or animal, from muddy shoreline to deep ocean floor, the ocean's living things attest to its endless variety, its biodiversity.
