This is the category for theoceans, covering news about, on, in, or under the open oceans of the globe.

Although islands may be located in an ocean, they usually belong to a a "continent" news region, and their news is categorized with that continent rather than the surrounding ocean — unless, of course, the news also impinges on the surrounding waters.
