Answer:
The ocean provides invaluable benefits and services.Some of them are as follows :
1) Food: More than 3.5 billion people depend on the ocean for their primary source of food. Fish supply the greatest percentage of the world’s protein consumed by humans. Unfortunately, per capita, demand for seafood is increasing around the globe, putting more and more pressure on an already fragile ecosystem.
2) Fresh Water: The oceans of the world play a major role in the fresh water cycle. It forms the clouds that bring us rain, which replenish our freshwater supplies.
3) Climate Regulation: Oceans strongly affect climate and weather patterns, transferring heat and moderating carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
4) Renewable Energy: Our oceans are an invaluable and endless source of renewable, clean energy; from tides and ocean currents to the powerful waves. We should be harnessing this energy more frequently and more effectively.
5) Medicine: Have a peak at the labels in your bathroom cabinet and you will be surprised at the plethora of Biomedical products derived from marine plant and animal sources. Marine ingredients have numerous medicinal and health benefits.
6) Recreation and restoration: The seemingly intangible benefits derived from spending time at the seaside are largely immeasurable, as they seem to just seep into us through osmosis. We all know, for example, how therapeutic a walk on the beach or a swim in the ocean is for the body, mind and soul
