Water is important for our survival. It covers more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, our bodies consist of almost 70% water, and water makes up more than 70% of two of our most vital organs (our brains and hearts). Logically, there is a deep biological connection between our brains and the sight of water due to our dependence on it as a source of life. The ocean holds about 97 percent of the Earth's water and the scientists at Mote are working hard to conserve and sustain it. Research being conducted at Mote, such as the Ocean Acidification Program, the Ecotoxicology Research Program, and the Benthic Ecology Program all focus on understanding and identifying the challenges our oceans are up against and finding the solutions to keep them healthy forever.
