- Abstract:
- The oceans provide sustenance, resources and employment to many people. They also act as a conduit to migration of people and movement of goods that have shaped human civilization and facilitate global trade and economic growth. In addition to these pivotal roles, the seas also act as a regulator of the world's weather pattern. The importance of oceans that give the earth the moniker 'the Blue Planet' to civilization cannot be overemphasized.
