LOGO The value of exploring the oceanMaterial Engineering: Ouyang Y Shipping Fishing facts Energy production Mineral resource Marine creatures(海洋生物) Value of the ocean The cradle of life（生命的摇篮） As a result of billions of years of evolution, there are about 150,000 kinds of animals and 15 ,000 kinds of plants under the sea. The original life was born in the sea. The variety of creatures is important to science because it helps us understand how life evolved and continues to evolve. Crinoid（海葵） Lionfish（狮子鱼） In the deep ocean, the pressure is up to 1000 atmosphere, the sunshine cannot reach, and the temperature is below 0℃。 Researching how they live in such severe environment and how the eco-system works has guiding significance. Flying Gurnard(飞鲂鱼) Spider crab（蜘蛛蟹） Seawolf(海狼) Coral reefs Coral reefs(珊瑚) are home to thousands of species that may be developed into medicine to cure disease and keep human healthy. The ocean provides abundant seafood which is rich in protein as well as delicious. Sea food Cornucopia of mineral resource(矿产资源的聚宝盆) Salt Salt occurs in sea water at a concentration of about 3%. The quantity available in all the oceans is so enormous that it could supply all human needs for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years. Scientists have found the deepwater hold plentiful oil and gas in store. That provides a direction for solving the problem of poor resource. But the mining in deep sea demands advanced technology and high investment, the task is heavy and there is a long way to go. Deepwater oil and gas systems Magnesium（镁） Manganese Nodules（锰结核） Potassium(钾) Titanium（钛） Diamond（钻石） other mineral resource Scientists are working on ways to mine them without environment destruction. Plastic Ocean Overharvesting Cruel killing of whales Protection the ocean is the premise of exploration, only when people live harmony with the ocean, will marine benefit humans and the exploration make sense.
