Percentage wise I am unsure but I do know that Phytoplankton (tiny plants living in the oceans) are alone responsible for around 50% of the oxygen in our atmoshere. That is an astronomical amount considering they are so widely consumed. Hopefully somebody will be able to elaborate on my answer but it should give you a better idea of how much photosynthesis occurs in the sea.

How does green algae get its energy?
Algae is a eukaryotic plant, its cells contain chloroplasts.
Is algae heterotrophic?
Alga is not a heterotrophic organism. It is an autotrophic organism because it prepares its food on its own by using the phenomena of photosynthesis. Algae has chlorophyll (due to which it appears green) which helps it to capture the solar energy which helps it to prepare its food in the presence of water, nutrients & oxygen.
Why do certain colors of light support photosynthesis while others do not?
The pigments involved (e.g. chlorophyll in green plants, phycoerythrin in red algae) only absorb photons of certain energies and reflect others. This is due to the elements in the pigment molecule and how they are bound.
When organisms began using photosynthesis what gas was added to the atmosphere as a result?
Oxygen is one of the products of photosynthesis and is the gas that rose in abundance in the atmosphere due to the process of photosynthesis.
Why is a plant cell able to perform photosynthesis?
Due to the presence of chloroplasts in it.

Which is the only continent expected to experience a decrease in the percentage of the worlds population that it has?
Europe is the only continent expected to experience a decrease in the percentage of the world's population it has, due to a combination of low birth rates and aging populations.
What component of the earths atmosphere exists as a result of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Therefore, much of the oxygen in our atmosphere is present due to photosynthesis.
Why Sargassum has a strong holdfast?
due to sun light and photosynthesis.

Oxygen is one of the products of photosynthesis and is the gas that rose in abundance in the atmosphere due to the process of photosynthesis.
How Do you call the proliferation of algae in a lake due to the presence of fertilizer in that lake?
You can call it the nitrate fertilizer effect on algae. There is no technical term for this as there are many types of algae and fertilizers. This could be called pollution too.
Why algal blooms occur?
Fertilize runoff
Can a homeowner be liable for injuries due to mold or algae on porch setting?
yes due to the way the house was tooken care of .
Why is a plant cell able to perform photosynthesis?
Due to the presence of chloroplasts in it.
What happens to ordinary not C4 or CAM when stomata close?
