Introduction
Though they may seem like separate worlds, oceans and forests are deeply connected through water cycles, nutrient flows, and climate regulation.
Section 1: The Water Cycle
Forests play a crucial role in the water cycle, releasing water vapor that eventually falls as precipitation over both land and sea.
Section 2: Nutrient Exchange
Salmon runs exemplify the ocean-forest connection, as these fish bring marine nutrients deep into forest ecosystems where they support diverse wildlife.
