Answer:

The world ocean provides so many benefits. Here are ten things the ocean does for humans and the planet:

The air we breathe: The ocean produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere.

Climate regulation: Covering 70 percent of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns.

Transportation: Seventy-six percent of all U.S. trade involves some form of marine transportation.

Recreation: From fishing to boating to kayaking and whale watching, the ocean provides us with many unique activities.

Economic benefits: The U.S. ocean economy produces $282 billion in goods and services and ocean-dependent businesses employ almost three million people.

Food: The ocean provides more than just seafood; ingredients from the sea are found in surprising foods such as peanut butter and soymilk.

Medicine: Many medicinal products come from the ocean, including ingredients that help fight cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and heart disease
