Why should we care about ocean resources?

I. Living Ocean Resources A. Most fish and resources located on the continental shelf, in the neritic zone 1. due to upwelling, plentiful sunlight, and nutrient runoff

Nutrient Runoff from Land

II. Nonliving Resources A. Water from desalination

B. Oil is drilled from under the ocean floor, usually on the continental shelf. C. Nodules – clumps of metals and minerals found on the ocean floor

III. Ocean Pollution

A. Most ocean pollution comes from land.

1. Causes: sewage, oil drilling, urban runoff, agriculture runoff 2. Effects: toxic build up in animals, algae blooms, animals become trapped in trash
