The Vikings were expert sailors and were very good at shipbuilding. Their longboats could survive difficult sea journeys - like journeys from Norway to Scotland!

The environmental issues that affect the sea can loosely be grouped into those that stem from marine pollution, from over exploitation and those that stem from climate change. They all impact marine ecosystems and food webs and may result in consequences as yet unrecognised for the biodiversity and continuation of marine life forms.

Climate change is likely to reduce levels of oxygen in surface waters since the solubility of oxygen in water falls at higher temperatures. [38] Ocean deoxygenation is projected to increase hypoxia by 10%, and triple suboxic waters (oxygen concentrations 98% less than the mean surface concentrations), for each 1°C of upper-ocean warming.

Microfibres are even released into waterways when we wash our clothes in the washing machine. They are too small to be filtered out by waste water plants and end up being consumed by small marine species, eventually even ending up in our food chain.

Even if you live hundreds of miles from the coast, the plastic you throw away could make its way into the sea. Once the plastic is in the ocean, it decomposes very slowly, breaking into tiny pieces known as microplastics, which can enter the marine food chain and become incredibly damaging to sea life. The main source of ocean plastic pollution is land-based—80% of plastic in the ocean originates on land. But what does that really mean? Where is it coming from? Typical sea-breeze (afternoon) and land-breeze (night) circulations with associated cloud formations. Carbon enters the ocean as atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in the surface layers and is converted into carbonic acid, carbonate, and bicarbonate: [79] CO 2 (gas) ⇌ CO 2 (aq) CO 2 (aq) + H 2O ⇌ H 2CO 3 H 2CO 3 ⇌ HCO 3 − + H + HCO 3 − ⇌ CO 3 2− + H +This article focuses on human experience, history and culture of thecollectiveseas of Earth.

What will you do to start cutting the plastic in your life? Sea bathing became the vogue in Europe in the 18th century after William Buchan advocated the practice for health reasons. [173] Surfing is a sport in which a wave is ridden by a surfer, with or without a surfboard. Other marine water sports include kite surfing, where a power kite propels a rider on a board across the water, [174] windsurfing, where the power is provided by a fixed, manoeuvrable sail [175] and water skiing, where a powerboat is used to pull a skier.
