Two Minutes on Oceans w/ Jim Toomey: The True Value of the Ocean

It is well known that industries such as fisheries, shipping and tourism derive great economic benefits from our oceans. But what most people don't know is that oceans also provide a lot of other benefits that don't even get counted. Watch this video to learn what they are!

The United Nations Environment Programme has partnered with cartoonist Jim Toomey, of Sherman's Lagoon fame, in developing a series of two-minute videos intended to raise awareness of the importance of oceans and the coastal environment. The videos use animation and humor to explain in clear and simple language the role oceans play in our lives and our very survival.
