Content Type | Overview |
We all benefit from our seas and oceans. In addition to the more traditional uses like transport, fishing, aquaculture, tourism and recreation, we now have the extraction of minerals, oil and gas, and the use of the seas as a site for wind farms and communication cables. We also enjoy the beauty of open seascapes and distant horizons, the fresh air and the clean coastal and marine environments. Finally, seas support a wealth of wildlife and perform a vital function in keeping our climate stable. |
