Marine Resources

Marine resources are vital to the health of our planet. They are the foundation for many industries and activities, ranging from tourism and recreation to food production, energy, and medicine. Marine resources include organisms and habitats such as marine mammals, fish, crustaceans, mollusks and algae, as well as physical features such as coral reefs, estuaries and seagrass beds. They are also an important source of food and energy for many coastal communities around the world. Sustainable management of marine resources is essential for their protection and to ensure the long-term health of our ocean ecosystems.
