We showcase the healing effects of the ocean through stories of a woman battling brain cancer, a grief-stricken surfer from Liberia, an amputee mentoring teens in need, and a woman born with cerebral palsy. At times emotional and thought-provoking, our characters describe how the ocean has saved them while providing hope for a better day ahead. Doctors discuss how the ocean provides mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, social gathering, connection to nature, and many other positive influences. Their overall message reminds us of the powerful impacts the ocean can have on our lives.
