Oceans are a $32 trillion economy, Employ 100 Million people

According to Climatecrisis247 co-editor-in-chief David Callaway, the oceans represent a huge economy. He writes, “It is the beating heart of the planet’s climate system, a primary source of food for billions, and the foundation of a global blue economy valued at more than $32 trillion, with over $3 trillion in annual output. More than three billion people depend directly on marine biodiversity for their livelihoods, and over 100 million jobs are tied to ocean-related industries such as fishing, tourism, and shipping.”
