Description
In this episode of Oceanic Odyssey, we explore the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans. These regions host unique marine life, such as polar bears, walruses, emperor penguins, and blue whales. Climate change poses significant threats, including sea ice loss and ocean acidification, which disrupt these fragile ecosystems. International efforts, like the Arctic Council and the Antarctic Treaty System, aim to protect these areas through sustainable practices and environmental regulations. Global climate agreements are also crucial in mitigating impacts on polar habitats.
In this episode of Oceanic Odyssey, we delve into marine renewable energy, exploring tidal, wave, and offshore wind energy. These sources harness the ocean's natural processes for clean power. Technological advancements like efficient tidal turbines, wave energy converters, and floating wind...
