The study of the ocean has evolved from ancient navigation practices to a modern scientific discipline. It gained importance notably during the Age of Exploration and solidified with the HMS Challenger voyage in the 19th century. The 20th century furthered this knowledge with advancements in oceanographic research and technology.
