ocean resources
Sea's natural bounty
Ocean resources are the materials and assets that can be extracted or harvested from the sea.
These include living resources like fish, shellfish, and seaweed, as well as non-living resources like oil, natural gas, minerals, and salt.
The term also encompasses less tangible assets: tidal energy, shipping lanes, and the ocean's capacity to absorb carbon.
Coastal nations compete for control of ocean resources within their exclusive economic zones.
