A flight through the ocean

Most of Earth's life exists underwater, yet humans still see the planet through a land-based lens. Over 94 percent of living things are aquatic, making terrestrial life the exception, not the rule. Traditional engineering and exploration have been limited by two-dimensional, gravity-focused thinking. Embracing the oceans' three-dimensional world opens new possibilities for discovery and connection with the planet.
