PART B_2

There are many natural resources from the sea that benefit people. They provide food and medicines. However, the sea is currently at risk of running out of natural resources. One example is overfishing. If people keep on overfishing, the fish population will continue to decrease because people will catch them faster than fish can produce more of their kind. Some fishermen put large weighted nets across the sea floor to catch fish. This method of fishing usually destroys the natural environment at the bottom of the sea. Because of this, there are some areas in the world that provide laws to protect the sea floor from any damages.

The sea also provides non-living resources such as minerals, natural gas, and oil which could be obtained by drilling into the sea floor. However, drilling into the sea floor can make the sea at risk of oil spills. To prevent this, researchers are now starting to look for other ways to use less oil and save the sea so that more people will benefit from it.
