Question

write about the important of continuntal shelf
​

Answer 1

Answer:

From a biological standpoint, continental shelves are extremely important because they are much shallower than the rest of the ocean. This means that there is enough light penetrating to the bottom of the ocean for primary production (plant growth) to be associated with the bottom, and not just the water column.

Answer 2

It does not include the deep ocean floor. The significance of the continental shelf is that it may contain valuable minerals and shellfish. UNCLOS addresses the issue of jurisdiction over these resources by allocating sovereign rights to the coastal State for exploration and exploitation.
