Migratory marine species link distant ecosystems across the world's oceans

Migratory marine species are living threads stitching the world's oceans into a single, interconnected system. These megavertebrate journeys, from whales to sea turtles, validate what empirical data increasingly confirms: no part of the ocean exists in isolation. Understanding these migrations is essential for calibrated, real-time ocean intelligence. For deeper insight into how we measure such global connections, explore our dataset on marine phosphorus cycling, which complements this picture of planetary-scale movement.
