The ocean doesn't stop at the shoreline. The names we give its basins, Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Southern, Indian, describe different regions, but they're all part of the same system, linking marine and freshwater ecosystems around the world. 🔗 https://f.mtr.cool/xnenuyyzzt

L’océan ne s’arrête pas au littoral. Les noms donnés à ses bassins, Atlantique, Pacifique, Arctique, Austral, Indien, désignent des régions différentes, mais ils font tous partie du même système, reliant les écosystèmes marins et d'eau douce partout dans le monde #SemaineDeLOcéanCanada #RetirezLeS
