Does using the ocean as a resource benefit society?
What needs to be done, if anything, to protect and preserve the ocean if it is used as a resource?

melissa_something · Answer

Yes it does, because it also affects the water cycle

Melissa has some great answers but also keep in mind the ocean's affect on our climate. Without the oceans current flowing the way it has for so long, we would have a completely different climate.
