The study and practice of Oceans and Human Health requires collaborationacross many backgrounds such as...
OHH research seeks to unravel the links between the health of the ocean and that of humans. The impacts of the Ocean on human health can be beneficial, such as those from
food, recreation, renewable energy, and biomedical research...
...but impacts can also be negative,such as those associated with floods, storms, and pollution.
THEREFORE: human activities which impact the ocean in turn impact human health.
