To me the ocean is the basis of all life, everything came from it at some point, the (in my opinion) most impressive evolutionary adaptations happen in it, and the some of the most complex ecosystems are formed in it. I think that to understand other life we need to understand the place it came from.
To me the ocean is about change, some of the biggest changes in my life have happened there. But as a result, mostly of our species, the rate of change is unsustainable right now. And to protect it we have to understand it.

I've lived in London since I was born, but for as long as I can remember my happy place has been in the see in the SW of England, Cornwall. There is something so freeing about being able to swim as far as you can, and see the ocean stretch to the horizon. Everything that inhabited the sea fascinated me as a child, from the tiny shrimp in rock pools, to the seals we could spot from the coast path. Whether rough or calm the sea is where I always want to be.

I have always lived near the ocean. It has been such a huge part of my life, whether swimming in amongst what lies beneath or by learning to SCUBA dive a few years ago, I have always been so intrigued by what the ocean has to offer. I can't wait to explore this course and expand my knowledge of the wonders of the ocean!

Ocean is...life. It seems just a simple and predictable concept...but that is the true! It is life because life is in the ocean, from the very surface to the deepest bottom, in the infinitive varieties of flora and fauna living there. It is life because water is our system of support as well as our source of income. It is life because its biodiversity influences our behaviors and determines our healthcare and welfare.Yes, surely, definitely...for me the Ocean is life..and I can't love my own life if I do not love the Ocean, I can't have respect for myself and the others if I do not respect and help the Ocean.

To me, the ocean is a mostly aesthetic experience. I live very far from any ocean (the closest place to where I can see the ocean is over 8 hours away!) so seeing it has always been such a treat for me. My hometown and most areas that I've been to are extremely mountainous which definitely makes me so intrigued by the ocean. I remember seeing the ocean for the first time as a very little girl and being simultaneously terrified and mystified. All bodies of water I'd ever seen up until that point had land on the other side of it, so looking out into the vastness of the ocean with nothing but water stretching as far as I could see...my toddler mind was absolutely blown. To this day I love the ocean, despite only seeing it in person a mere handful of times. That being said, I am quite scared of it and don't think I'd ever want to go out on it on any kind of boat, and swimming it is absolutely out of the question ^^; The second seaweed or anything touches my leg...I am out of that water in a flash. I would love to live somewhere on the beach somewhere! The sunsets over the water, the sea air, the sands...that sounds very nice to me ^-^
I respect the ocean above all else and I think protecting is paramount. The world can do a lot of things on her own, but we, as humans, need to take back and any all damage we've done to our waters and reduce harm from here on out. We need to do better.

The ocean is so mysterious and beautiful. and this is why i love it so much. The vastness of the oceans and not knowing what you are going to find next is extremely exciting. From tiny plankton to the massive blue whale everything is linked and it all relies on each other which i find fascinating. My enthusiasm of learning about sharks started at a young age and by learning about them i learned of other species and types of ocean life as well as the dynamics of the tides and how they are effected.

Being near the ocean feels grounding and calming, and I'm endlessly fascinated by the whole system and everything that lives in it.

What does the Ocean mean to me ??
For me the Ocean is my life.
It's where I go to unwind and relax, it's where I go for myself and my family to explore, the Ocean is our creator to many wonders in life sadly many on our planet have taken the big blue for granted. I would like to be a big help of that change and help change our world back to its original beauty. Our Ocean holds many life options and the options only exist if we look after it. There is so much that comes from our Ocean it's a fascinating wonder with many secrets yet to be explored and researched the Ocean is like emotions each day and wave is different. 🌊

# data[].attributes.body
The ocean for me, is everything.
I love the ocean.
Everything from when the sea meets the coast,
just hearing the water erupt through the rocks and onto the cliffs edge I always feel that's the sea giving us a small demonstration of its power.

on the other hand the gentle sounds of the tide pulling the ocean back and forth across the stones and sand, its beautiful.

but my real passion is to explore the ocean first hand
I want to get to the deepest parts of the ocean study the floors there I also want to protect the aquatic life and get to know them.

we still know so little about our oceans
and I love to help!

# data[].attributes.body
I love sharks, they are so interesting and fascinating and massively misunderstood creatures. They are essential to the control of life in our oceans yet so many are still killed every year.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, the ocean is a big mystery, scary mass, yet too fascinating to be ignored. Its utter beauty makes me forget about all my fears. I love being in the water, swimming, and playing in it. It's a constant reminder about changes. Nothing is still in the ocean and so in life, although we might live under illusions of stillness. It's a hidden world that we must protect.

To me the ocean is filled with beautiful and unique wildlife. From small coral polyps to large humpback whales it is the marine life that draws me to the ocean.

I believe the ocean has power. Sometimes, it is for destroying, and also our progress and healing. It always attracts me.

The oceans have always been fascinating to me ever since I was little. I grew up reading books on sharks and watching every documentary I could find on marine life and our oceans. When I think of our oceans, I think of their diverse life, the beauty beneath the waves, an untamed wilderness and I cannot help but be in awe. Of all marine life, sharks have always been my favourite. I have so much respect and love for such a misunderstood animal.

# data[].attributes.body
The ocean means to me a lot of marine life, including coral reefs, sharks, different kind of fishes, sea snakes, algae, and so on. Moreover, the ocean is a mystery to me; it hides a lot of secrets. When I am in front of it I feel tiny as I can admire its immensity, which impacts and fascinates me.

I have a curiosity to see what lies beneath the waves and parts of the ocean we have not yet explored and the amount of history that lies infront of me everytime I think about it it’s astonishing I’d love to learn more.

The sea fundamentally connects us to each other and to the places we live. More than that, it’s a force which interrupts our preconceived ideas about human mastery over land, of borders, and of anthropocentrism. The deep sea is as mysterious to us as outer space.

The Ocean is infinite wonder. It is ancient and the purist form of life I can think of. It's so mesmerizing and draws you in. There is so much life throughout and makes me feel so amazed that there is this whole other world right beneath the surface! It is also humbling to see the sheer magnitude of it. The passion I have for the ocean is one I haven't really had with anything else. I believe it's our responsibility to protect this beautiful life force before it's too late.

# data[].attributes.body
The ocean makes me feel small, but in a good way. It is so vast and there is so much we still are yet to learn about it that it provides a sense of perspective. We are so quick to be caught up in our own little bubbles of our day to day lives when there is a whole world. out there full of beautiful things. I always enjoy time spent near or in the oceans and I think its important to our survival to understand as much as we can about it out of respect for everything it does for us without us realising.

The oceans are very beautiful places that used to be full of wonderful creatures. It seems that everytime I go back there are less and less fish. There should have been so many more fish on this reef and bigger fish. Then I saw this. It is the first sign of bleaching on an otherwise pristine reef. We really need to find a way to stop this. The cause and effect is circular. If we don't stop it, it will be the end of us too.

the eternity of freedom begins with the waves

# data[].attributes.body
For me the ocean represents a freedom that one can't explain in words. It represents a life lived by one's own terms and rules, not having to conform to the norms of today's busy society and ways, it represents difference , wildness, .for me it's like something is missing when I can't hear the waves at night or watch them on a stormy rainy day ...there's a mystery so  passionate and nostalgic and epic about the ocean that you feel obligated to find out what it is, as if you'll never be complete if you don't ..its escaping ..escaping from reality ,from pain , for me the ocean represents home it represents adventure like one can never find in cities or towns .once you had a taste of the vast freedom that ocean can offer you , you can never let go of it again

. It's my heart .and more importantly it represents everything I am and wish to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though I have thalassophobia, I have always been intrigued by the ocean and its contents. What the ocean means to me is this whole new world that is so very different from our own. Despite it being one world, at certain parts it is this vast monochrome emptiness and at other parts it is full of life and color. The ocean is something to be marveled as it is also important to the life living on land as it was involved in out past, it is in our present, and it will be in our future. The ocean is a world that will always have something new as humans have only managed to discover so little of it, there is so much to explore but such little time to do so in one lifetime. That is the reason I picked this photo, despite it being a mythical creature, it represents the stories that have been told in past generations insinuating that these creatures might have existed or are hidden deep in the ocean further down than any human technology can reach which reinforces the unknowns in the deep blue ocean. The ocean is such a wonder.

# data[].attributes.body
the ocean makes me feel alive and fulfilled. there is a peacefulness that comes from watching and listening to the crash of waves on the shore as the tides roll in and out.

To me, the ocean is an immaculate yet unnerving place. The myriad of colour and life make me want to immerse myself in it's extraordinary world. Our lack of knowledge about so much of the ocean excites me, in that there is so much to be discovered, but also scares me, in that we are only scratching the surface on how we as a species are damaging marine life.

# data[].attributes.body
The ocean means everything to me. It is Life. Before coming to Australia, I lived on a small island in the Philippines. The ocean was everything, only a 2 metre distance from our home. It was our source of life, food, nutrition and peace. We could bathe in the ocean, to cleanse our pain, or float motionlessly to take away any means of stress. We used the ocean to view sea creatures and coexist with the life in the deep. We studied the waves, helping us to know when to travel by sea or when to know when fresh fish would be coming in. The ocean was everything. It was life.

The ocean is presented as a mystical place filled with horror, alien like creatures that can kill humans without thinking, unspeakable acts of epic violence, yet even in the deepest, most dark areas of the ocean, there is beauty. The ocean represents an unlimited boundary of things we are yet to explore and discover, for most, if not all, it creates an eerie sense of awe. For myself, it seems like an unfathomable, never ending treasure trove, with so much to be discovered and explored, just waiting to be understood. Inside the ocean, I am certain is the pathway to better understanding our planet, and where we came from as a species, and where other lifeforms have evolved from.

The ocean connects us all. It is where life began and yet we do not know everything about it. To me, going on holiday to places like the Mediterranean and further afield, I always feel small when I see it stretching out to the horizon like in this picture. It's full of life and adventure.

I would've loved to have lived by the ocean when I was younger. To me, it is a beautiful mystery, one where something more lies beneath the surface. It is so vast, filled with so much we don't know, that it should almost be something we fear but when I look at images such as this, and the ones shared on the Padlet, it reminds me of how beautiful and full of wonder the ocean is. It is peaceful, relaxing, to look at the colours and the different creatures, and in our current climate, most definitely a breath of fresh air.

# data[].attributes.body
The ocean for me represents tranquility but that at any moment it can transform into force. You brought me peace, in addition the animals that live and are part of it are beautiful animals, some generate mystery and curiosity. There is nothing more beautiful than admiring the sea, its blue, the tranquility that is seen but that then sweeps away with the force of its waves. the depths are a mystery I love how it looks, I would like to know how to take care of it for the survival of its inhabitants. the sea seems even another world or dimension.

To me, Ocean means everything which started the life and is huge and mysterious. The more simple it is from outside, the more it holds mysteries inside.

I remember once when I visited the ocean side, I tried to step inside the sea, but its waves were so strong that I couldn't stay for long time. The pull of ocean was so much stronger that I got scared as it was mine first ever visit to the ocean. I felt that how small and weak we humans are in front of ocean and how big and stronger is the ocean.

I don't know much about what is deep down inside ocean. But as I seen on discovery channel, other education channels and all other social medias,I understood that our ocean is still full of mysteries .Scientists and Researcher are everyday trying to understand and uncover the mysteries of deep ocean.

Thank You, that was my views on Ocean.

The ocean is quite possibly the most ethereal, innocent and magnificent being on earth. It is both utterly captivating and endlessly vast, that we shall never truly discover what greatness lies within its theoretical walls. Time is slipping away from our weakened grasp.

It is our past, our present and our future! The ocean is not only ingrained in our collective history, it is part of our global culture, and every second breath we take, comes from the ocean! It regulates the climate and the ocean is so vitally important to global food consumption and transport.  To me, the ocean is a source of well-being.  It is another world to immerse myself in, to learn about and be in awe of.  It is my happy place, raw, untamed, fragile and my passion!

Humans have a desire, whether conscious or unconscious, to seek out experiences of awe. These awe inspiring experiences increase happiness, reduce stress and can even make us better people. It's unsurprising that these experiences, despite our modern human disconnection, come from the natural world. I am consistently amazed by the waves, the biodiversity, the underwater caves and volcanoes, the weird and wonderful, the undiscovered. I want to know more and be able to tell others about it so that they too can be filled with wonderful sense of awe.

Every time I get to go to the sea and swim around, that’s when I feel like time passes too quickly. However, when I am thinking about any sea, two images come to my mind: the first one being total darkness, and the other one is the one I chose to upload here. Our oceans provide us with many resources today, and we are not grateful enough for them.

From 6 billion kilometres, the ocean is all the earth is. It's a sign of life that defines our planet. No one image can convey the multitudinous moods, emotions, scenes, danger and life the ocean creates. It can generate so much awe, wonder but also calm. It is just as important, if not more, than the solid parts of the world - and so different they're hard to compare; arguably it's more varied than the land masses. The ocean isn't an obstacle, challenge, backdrop or border, or even simply a habitat, but an intrinsic part of human life and the cradle and sustainer of the only known universal life. I hope I can learn more about the ocean and take steps to protect it as it deserves.

We still have so much to learn about the bodies of water that cover our planet. Why?How?When?What? All these are open ended questions that we cannot entirely answer. The ocean is an important part of our lives, whether we know it or not and I think it's important for us to know more. I love being, thinking, dreaming about the ocean.

The ocean is peaceful, calm, mysterious place giving life to so many amazing an mammals. It is also a means to survive for many people around the world. Without ocean people would not survive and that's why we should look after it much more instead of destroy in it.
