The article discusses the extensive migrations of various ocean species, highlighting their remarkable journeys and the challenges they face due to human activities. Loggerhead turtles and humpback whales exemplify long-distance travelers, with some species covering over 90,000km.

Alarmingly, almost half of these migratory species are in decline, raising critical conservation challenges as different countries struggle to protect them across their vast migratory routes.
