The ocean provides much of the world's oxygen. Science Questers take part in a water ceremony, something that many indigenous nations perform to honour water, a living being. Saltwater and cedar are used for spiritual cleansing. An animated sequence shows us the huge patch of plastic garbage floating in the Pacific.  ‘Qátuwas (Jessica Brown) of Heiltsuk and Nuu-chah-nulth heritage brings indigenous knowledge to ocean science, and we learn about ocean thermal vents. Kai shows the effects of acidification on ocean life, and we learn from Jesse Hemphill and the Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw people about harvesting herring roe. Planet earth is mostly water. Water is sacred. Indigenous science is about building relationship with place – connecting with land and water.
