Primaterra

It is well known that the first astronauts, seeing Earth from space, remarked that our world was really the planet of water. Indeed, the ocean covers nearly three fourths of the planet, embraces most of the earth’s biosphere (the region where life occurs) and sustains all life on Earth’s surface.

Mankind has long had a close relationship with the ocean, as it provides us not only with food and other resources, but also inspiration to artists, facilitated transport and leisure. For these and other reasons, we have tried to understand more about them, from the moment the first fisherman caught a fish, until today. The oceans control this planet, from the depths of the sea to the limits of the atmosphere.

There are still, however, a lot of unknowns about oceans, but we do know that they play a major role in most of the aspects of this planet, from climate control to the ozone layer. We have also started to realise how limited the oceans really are, particularly in terms of their productive limits and recuperative potential.

We, in PrimaTerra, aim to increase this awareness and foment the love and caretaking of the sea through information and exchange of ideas.
