The Ocean: Just Scratched The Surface

People are so concerned about exploring space and colonizing there, when we barely even explored our own planet. The ocean takes up 96% of the Earth and we only explored 5% of it. Just think about that, we barely know our own planet, but everyone wants to explore a different one. Some people can argue that space is more important and could have better resources out there for us, but do people even know what's in the ocean? People always talk about the megalodon and if it's still alive or even if Atlantis still exists. The world has been talking about myths like those two for years and years but it appears no one really wants to find out.

There are numerous reasons why the ocean should be the number one area to be exploring. To start things off, the ocean provides more than 50% of the Earth's oxygen. Imagine figuring out why the ocean provides so much, controlling it, and then using it on another planet to make it habitable. Another reason is that the ocean provides so much delicious food for us to enjoy. It provides 28 million jobs for the entire Earth, according to the article on Wired, but like the tail says we ignore what the ocean has done for us and treat it like a toilet. The ocean has ecosystems that we haven't even explored yet. There could be evolved creatures down there that could help find cures for diseases or discover new foods. Who knows what's down there because we barely even looked.

As time goes on we lose discovering something amazing that may not be there tomorrow. The ocean is the most fascinating things on Earth, not exploring it would be like not taking all the money in the world. The ocean has provided so much for this world already, and we haven't even scarcthed the surfce.
