According to UNESCO, our oceans not only help in the detection of COVID-19 but could also help combat it.</p>

<h2><strong>How oceans help detect </strong><strong>Coronavirus </strong></h2>
<p>Bacteria found in the depths of the ocean are currently being used to carry out tests to detect the presence of COVID-19. The bacteria were identified years ago and have been used to diagnose other viruses such as AIDS and SARS.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>How oceans could help treat Covid-19</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/how-oceans-help-fight-covid-19/hydrothermal-vents/" rel="attachment wp-att-1457"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-1457 " src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/hydrothermal-vents-287x300.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="198" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/hydrothermal-vents-287x300.jpg 287w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/hydrothermal-vents.jpg 573w" sizes="(max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to diagnosis, many commonly used medicinal products already come from the ocean, including ingredients that help fight cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer&#8217;s and heart disease. The potential health benefits lie in the diversity of microbes found in the ocean’s hydrothermal vents. These are currently being researched as a potential treatment for Covid-19.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/how-oceans-help-fight-covid-19/healthy-family/" rel="attachment wp-att-1455"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1455" src="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/healthy-family-300x272.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="189" srcset="https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/healthy-family-300x272.jpg 300w, https://www.oceanlifeeducation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/healthy-family.jpg 591w" sizes="(max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px" /></a></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Our lives depend on healthy oceans </strong>(and a healthy planet) in many ways<strong>. </strong>Oceans cover nearly three quarters of the Earth’s surface; contain 97 per cent of the Earth’s water and support life on earth by providing oxygen and food to an astonishing range of ocean and non-ocean life.</p>
