How the Deep Sea Benefits Humanity

The deep sea provides multiple benefits:

• Food: Source of fish (tuna, swordfish, halibut) and shellfish (shrimp, lobster, crab).
• Pharmaceuticals: Compounds used in cancer, pain, and inflammation treatments.
• Energy: Potential oil and gas reserves.
• Minerals: Copper, zinc, gold, and other minerals.
• Scientific Research: Insights into planetary processes and conservation.

Protecting the deep sea ensures these resources remain available for future generations.
