The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small (.04%) because CO2 is in great demand by photosynthetic plants as a source of carbon for growth. The proportion of dissolved CO2 in water is about 15% of all dissolved gases. There is about 60 times more CO2 dissolved in the ocean as in the atmosphere.

What two gases vital to marine life?
Gases are also dissolved by seawater. Carbon dioxide(CO2) is dissolved in ocean water and used by phytoplankton to produce plant matter. Oxygen and nitrogendissolved at the surface from the atmosphere are also present in seawater. Conversely, the ocean also releases these gases into the atmosphere.
