Ocean World Alien Civilizations

Ocean world alien civilizations are one of the most compelling models in alien-civilization theory: societies arising on planets or moons dominated by deep global oceans rather than continents. Drawing on astrobiology, exoplanet habitability studies, and long-running speculation about aquatic intelligence, the concept sits at the intersection of hidden biospheres, nonhuman cognition, and alternative civilizational development.
