Why we should study the ocean

There are many reasons why we should be exploring the ocean. One of which is simply the fact that we  know very little about it, and knowledge is power. If we knew more about the ocean, it would impact our technology, help gain valuable resources such as gas, metals, and food sources as well. Exploring the ocean also gives us a better understanding of sea life, which is important for our food source.
