Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer

The ocean provides humanity with many resources and is an important source of food, transport, energy, and recreation. However, it remains famously under-explored (only 10-15% of ocean has been mapped at even 100 m resolution). As scientific and technological progress allows us to expand our knowledge new classes of resources are becoming increasingly feasible.

This Royal Society project considers two emerging classes of ocean based resources, metals from the deep ocean floor, and the application of the genetics and chemicals produced by marine life. An ever increasing world population is driving the need for metals for use in electronics and low carbon technologies and novel drugs, not least antibiotics, to treat disease.
