There are more microbes in the ocean than stars in the galaxy.

Think about that.

Tiny life forms, older than the dinosaurs, living deep under the ocean where no sunlight ever reaches.

They’ve been down there for over 100 million years.

These microbes don’t just sit around. They:

Recycle carbon
Help produce oxygen
Balance ocean chemistry

Without them, the ocean’s entire system would break.

And since the ocean covers 70% of the planet, that would break everything else too.

Scientists just discovered whole colonies of these ancient microbes still alive deep in the ocean floor.

One handful of deep-sea mud holds more life than most cities.

And we’re only scratching the surface.

You’ve probably never seen these microbes before — no one has until now.

But they’ve quietly been running the planet longer than humans ever have.

The more we understand them, the better chance we have to protect our planet.
