As we all probably know before, the ocean covers approximately about 70% of the Earth's surface. This fact then makes it understandable that there are so many parts of the vast water body that haven't been explored or find out yet.

Not only because the vast body, the ocean is also hard to reach on many parts since some parts of the ocean are very deep that human has yet been able to descend to the depth.

According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, ocean exploration is about making discoveries, searching for things that are unusual and unexpected through a disciplined, systematic, and includes rigorous observations and documentation of biological, chemical, physical, geological, and archaeological aspects of the ocean.

In this article, we are going to learn more about what are actually the effects of ocean exploration.

Filling Gaps in the Ocean Information

Findings from the ocean exploration are very fundamental to fill in the gaps on the blank information regarding the ocean. The information acquired through the explorations then can be used by the scientists to decide what to do on ocean issues and to come up with some ideas regarding the ocean.

See also: Types of Atlantic Ocean Crabs

The information from ocean explorations can establish the baseline information needed to better understand environmental change, NOAA explained. The findings can help scientists to address both current situations and to predict the future situations that may emerge. The information then can be used to know what to do in order to protect the ocean, make them still around for the future generations to enjoy.

Since the information about the deep sea are still very little, like what we have said above, the new findings especially regarding the deep sea are very important to all of us especially the scientists. Through the information, the experts then can know the how the situation is down there and learn what to do when there are deep sea disasters since we haven't known much yet due to the lack of information before. For example, it may give us some valuable information about predicting the earthquakes and tsunamis.

The new information gained through the exploration regarding the deep sea can also give us knowledge about what are available down there, how the life forms lives, and find out how us, human, can survive down there or make a good use of the depth's resources. This is very important since as the time goes by, the number of people escalated and so does the need for foods and other human needs.

The deep-sea then can be one of the resources for us to rely on to fulfill the needs such as food, energy, etc. Deep-sea findings can even unlock some new resources from the ecosystems that might give benefits for the medical drugs and other products.

The continuous exploration on the ocean can keep us informed about the ocean's conditions from time to time. The findings from it then can help us compare the ocean's conditions from time to time. Especially now that the climate change is happening, we can keep track the changes that happens to the ocean and what might affect our life.

Vice versa, we can also know what parts of our life that may cause harm to the ocean that will most likely impact us, human, too in the end and then fix those parts for the ocean's sake.

Encourage People to Study Further about the Ocean

One of the effects of ocean exploration, although may seem unimportant, is that it can inspire the young people to seek careers in the fields that may contribute to the ocean literacy such as mathematics, engineering, science, and technology.

As we said before, although this may seem unimportant but it actually is since it young people can have fresh insights to the ocean literacy as the different generations may have develop different and unique ways of thinking. The thoughts of challenging the deep ocean may taunt people more to innovate technology and engineering breakthroughs that can even be applied in other situations too.

Relatively Cheaper Than Other Explorations

The ocean exploration, although must have cost a lot, but it can be considered as relatively cheaper than the other, let's say space explorations. What's more to it is that ocean exploration may even be relatively easier than those of the space (although we are aware that some parts of the ocean are too deep that the human can't even reach it yet, but in general, ocean is obviously reachable than the space).

See also: Characteristics Ocean Liners

Ocean exploration may lead us to some artefacts that are from years and years ago. These artefacts then can be studied by the archeologists to find out more about the ancient life, and add valuable information that may be very useful for us humanbeing, also to better understand the history.

See also: Endangered Species of the Ocean

As there are good effects, we can't deny the fact that there are some negative effects of ocean exploration too as not all people can use the ocean wisely. Here are some of the negative effects (9-15) that may or have emerge from the ocean exploration:

Ocean exploration can also lead people to locate the parts in the ocean that are actually full of resources for us, human. Although these resources may be very useful to us, the ocean mining can also lead to many harmful events and may as well damage the ocean itself if not done in the right way or if it gets overdone.

See also: Climate of the Ocean

10. Irresponsible Ocean Creature Captures

Ocean exploration may also help us to locate places in the ocean that are full of the fish that we can consume in our everyday life. However, just like the point before this, continuous exploration may lead some people to capture ocean creatures that are not supposed to be captured and even lead to overfishing.

See also: General Characteristics of Coastal Ocean

11. Exploitation of Ocean Creature

Besides of irresponsible captures, ocean exploration may even lead to exploitation on some ocean creatures or marine life forms. For example, the overexposing of the great barrier reef that may cause damages to the reef due to the people who visits it that don't really understand how to deal with them and so many other factors.

12. Ocean Treasures Destruction

Although the artefact findings from the exploration may give benefits to us, it can also lead to the destruction of them if the information doesn't used wisely by some people. The information of new findings may lead people to be greedy and take them from their supposed place just for the benefits of some people. This is definitely not we want as some unmoved artefacts are left just the way it is as it may be fragile or considered as protected sites.

13. Ocean Waste

Ocean explorations may also lead people to some parts of the ocean that are considered unreachable and pop the idea that it is save for them to dump wastes in the ocean. Although some ocean waste is done in very rural places in the ocean, it is possible for them to ruin the ecosystems around the area.

14. Waste of Money, Time, and Energy

Some people or experts do ocean explorations to find out whether it is possible to live in it, just as how people do the same for space explorations. However, many thinks that the idea and act of this might just lead to the waste of money, time, and energy since human most-likely will not be able to bear the pressure and will only leads to the fact that the ocean is inhabitable for human.

15. Become Increasingly Expensive Too

Although in the positive points it is said that ocean exploration is cheaper than the space, the ocean exploration is becoming exceedingly expensive as the time goes by. A simple survey for ocean exploration can cost to as much as $50 million.

What makes the ocean exploration's spending become more unworthy is due to the fact that the exploration might just lead to nothing. As once we get deeper under 50 miles off shore, we will mostly greet by featureless mud only. Whereas in the space, although we may as well be greeted by nothing, but we can at least identify some targets to place probes or telescopes.

As we can see, there are some good and bad effects caused by the ocean exploration. However, the bad effects can certainly be reduced if us, human, were to do the exploration in the correct way and will use the information that will be find wisely. We hope that this article has been helpful to make you understand better about the ocean exploration and inspire you to do good things for the ocean.

Exploration is key to increasing our understanding of the ocean, so we can more effectively manage, conserve, regulate, and use ocean resources that are vital to our economy and to all of our lives.

Despite the fact that the ocean covers approximately 70% of Earth's surface and plays a critical role in supporting life on our planet, from the air we breathe and the food we eat to weather and climate patterns, our understanding of the ocean remains limited.

Ocean exploration is about making discoveries, searching for things that are unusual and unexpected. As the first step in the scientific process, the rigorous observations and documentation of biological, chemical, physical, geological, and archaeological aspects of the ocean gained from exploration set the stage for future research and decision-making.

Through ocean exploration, we collect data and information needed to address both current and emerging science and management needs. Exploration helps to ensure that ocean resources are not just managed, but managed in a sustainable way, so those resources are around for future generations to enjoy. Exploration of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone is important for national security, allowing us to set boundaries, protect American interests, and claim ocean resources.

Unlocking the mysteries of ocean ecosystems can reveal new sources for medical therapies and vaccines, food, energy, and more as well as inspire inventions that mimic adaptations of deep-sea animals. Information from ocean exploration can help us understand how we are affecting and being affected by changes in Earth's environment, including changes in weather and climate. Insights from ocean exploration can help us better understand and respond to earthquakes, tsunamis, and other hazards.

The challenges met while exploring the ocean can provide the impetus for new technologies and engineering innovations that can be applied in other situations, allowing us to respond more effectively in the face of an ocean crisis, such as an oil spill. And, ocean exploration can improve ocean literacy and inspire young people to seek critical careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

As a species, humans are naturally inquisitive - curiosity, desire for knowledge, and quest for adventure motivate modern explorers even today. And if all of these examples don't provide enough reasons to explore the ocean, well, ocean exploration is also just cool (if you need it: proof).

The NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research is the only federal program dedicated to exploring the deep ocean, closing prominent gaps in our basic understanding of U.S. deep waters and the seafloor and delivering the ocean information needed to strengthen the economy, health, and security of our nation.

This week marks the 10th Annual World Oceans Day, a global confluence of ocean-awareness events intended to bring our oceans the level of public attention they deserve. As we both have had the opportunity to explore a fair amount of our globe's seas, on this occasion we'd like to share our excitement and our vision for the future.

Ray Dalio (@raydalio) is the founder of Bridgewater Associates and the OceanX initiative. Marc Benioff (@benioff) is CEO and chair of Salesforce, as well as founder of the Benioff Ocean Initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

To us, the ocean is humanity's most important and most under-examined treasure. While the world below the ocean's surface is more than twice the size of the world above it and contains an estimated 94 percent of the space where life can exist on Earth, only 5 percent of the world's oceans have been fully explored.

The ocean is critical to human life-more than 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe comes from it. It drives our weather, provides a nutritious food supply, and is a key source of commerce, supporting more than 28 million jobs in the United States alone. For those reasons, it deserves our reverence and protection. Instead, humans neglect it and treat it like a toilet that we overfish from.

We believe ocean exploration is more exciting and more important than space exploration. Yet it only receives about one-one hundredth as much funding. We want to change that by showing people the ecosystems and underwater habitats across the globe that are brimming with unexplored environments filled with species that have evolved in ways we cannot possibly imagine. By discovering and understanding these ecosystems, we can unlock cures to diseases, grow new foods, discover new medicines, create new industries, and fully understand our planet. The possibilities are endless, if we choose to open the door to them.

Thanks to profound technological advancements in recent years, we now have the potential to open these doors like never before. Using new sensors, submarine technology, and autonomous vehicles, humans have the opportunity to advance the public's understanding and appreciation of the ocean, much as the development of scuba equipment and underwater cameras allowed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau to captivate the world 50 years ago.

Using many of these technologies, the BBC's recent Blue Planet II inspired a new generation of explorers to turn toward the ocean and prodded public policymakers to introduce new measures to prevent plastics pollution. When it sets sail next year, the Alucia2, a new vessel funded by OceanX, will be the most advanced vessel designed for both media production and cutting-edge scientific research, bringing the excitement of ocean discovery to the world as broadcast and digital programs and in real time.

Exploring our oceans is key to protecting them. As renowned oceanographer Sylvia Earle has said, "Far and away, the biggest threat to the ocean is ignorance." Exploration is the key to ending that ignorance and making the oceans accessible, tangible, and exciting to the broader world so that people will understand and protect them.

Creating such understanding will ensure we don't lose the richness of the biological assets in our oceans before they are even discovered. Protected areas, such as Papahānaumokuākea and the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monuments, serve as savings accounts that protect strategic areas of our ocean for future exploration and discovery while simultaneously producing more fish, food, and income for fisheries.

Even as we begin to explore the most remote reaches of our oceans, we are finding them sullied-with trash detected at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of our ocean, and floating in the most remote regions of Antarctica. This signals we must act now to ensure we discover more than plastic bottles during this next generation of ocean exploration.

There are many great government and non-profit organizations, philanthropists, scientists, and entrepreneurs doing critical and unheralded work to protect our oceans-but they need more support. Not just in the form of funding, but in the form of public energy and momentum.

One positive sign is that world leaders at the G7 Summit in Canada today are prioritizing ocean health, calling for aggressive measures to combat plastic pollution and climate change. We need this interest to translate into a firm G7 stance on oceans. And we need this ripple of leadership to turn into a tidal wave of public, private, and community support for securing the healthy future for our oceans upon which we all depend.

Despite the fact that the ocean covers approximately 70% of Earth's surface and plays a critical role in supporting life on our planet, from the air we breathe and the food we eat to weather and climate patterns, our understanding of the ocean remains limited.

*“We’ve spent 65 years since that moonshot pledge looking up at the stars, while the oceans and all the wonders and creations they hold are sitting right at our feet, waiting to be discovered.”
*WE NEED TO EXPLORE THE OCEAN!!!!!

This week marks the 10th Annual World Oceans Day, a global confluence of ocean-awareness events intended to bring our oceans the level of public attention they deserve. As we both have had the opportunity to explore a fair amount of our globe's seas, on this occasion we'd like to share our excitement and our vision for the future.

To us, the ocean is humanity's most important and most under-examined treasure. While the world below the ocean's surface is more than twice the size of the world above it and contains an estimated 94 percent of the space where life can exist on Earth, only 5 percent of the world's oceans have been fully explored.

The ocean is critical to human life-more than 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe comes from it. It drives our weather, provides a nutritious food supply, and is a key source of commerce, supporting more than 28 million jobs in the United States alone. For those reasons, it deserves our reverence and protection. Instead, humans neglect it and treat it like a toilet that we overfish from.

We believe ocean exploration is more exciting and more important than space exploration. Yet it only receives about one-one hundredth as much funding. We want to change that by showing people the ecosystems and underwater habitats across the globe that are brimming with unexplored environments filled with species that have evolved in ways we cannot possibly imagine. By discovering and understanding these ecosystems, we can unlock cures to diseases, grow new foods, discover new medicines, create new industries, and fully understand our planet. The possibilities are endless, if we choose to open the door to them.

Thanks to profound technological advancements in recent years, we now have the potential to open these doors like never before. Using new sensors, submarine technology, and autonomous vehicles, humans have the opportunity to advance the public's understanding and appreciation of the ocean, much as the development of scuba equipment and underwater cameras allowed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau to captivate the world 50 years ago.

Using many of these technologies, the BBC's recent Blue Planet II inspired a new generation of explorers to turn toward the ocean and prodded public policymakers to introduce new measures to prevent plastics pollution. When it sets sail next year, the Alucia2, a new vessel funded by OceanX, will be the most advanced vessel designed for both media production and cutting-edge scientific research, bringing the excitement of ocean discovery to the world as broadcast and digital programs and in real time.

Exploring our oceans is key to protecting them. As renowned oceanographer Sylvia Earle has said, "Far and away, the biggest threat to the ocean is ignorance." Exploration is the key to ending that ignorance and making the oceans accessible, tangible, and exciting to the broader world so that people will understand and protect them.

Creating such understanding will ensure we don't lose the richness of the biological assets in our oceans before they are even discovered. Protected areas, such as Papahānaumokuākea and the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monuments, serve as savings accounts that protect strategic areas of our ocean for future exploration and discovery while simultaneously producing more fish, food, and income for fisheries.

Even as we begin to explore the most remote reaches of our oceans, we are finding them sullied-with trash detected at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of our ocean, and floating in the most remote regions of Antarctica. This signals we must act now to ensure we discover more than plastic bottles during this next generation of ocean exploration.

As we all probably know before, the ocean covers approximately about 70% of the Earth's surface. This fact then makes it understandable that there are so many parts of the vast water body that haven't been explored or find out yet.

Not only because the vast body, the ocean is also hard to reach on many parts since some parts of the ocean are very deep that human has yet been able to descend to the depth.

According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, ocean exploration is about making discoveries, searching for things that are unusual and unexpected through a disciplined, systematic, and includes rigorous observations and documentation of biological, chemical, physical, geological, and archaeological aspects of the ocean.

In this article, we are going to learn more about what are actually the effects of ocean exploration.

Filling Gaps in the Ocean Information

Findings from the ocean exploration are very fundamental to fill in the gaps on the blank information regarding the ocean. The information acquired through the explorations then can be used by the scientists to decide what to do on ocean issues and to come up with some ideas regarding the ocean.

See also: Types of Atlantic Ocean Crabs

The information from ocean explorations can establish the baseline information needed to better understand environmental change, NOAA explained. The findings can help scientists to address both current situations and to predict the future situations that may emerge. The information then can be used to know what to do in order to protect the ocean, make them still around for the future generations to enjoy.

See also: Types of Ocean Birds

Since the information about the deep sea are still very little, like what we have said above, the new findings especially regarding the deep sea are very important to all of us especially the scientists. Through the information, the experts then can know the how the situation is down there and learn what to do when there are deep sea disasters since we haven't known much yet due to the lack of information before. For example, it may give us some valuable information about predicting the earthquakes and tsunamis.

See also: Fishes in Atlantic Ocean

The new information gained through the exploration regarding the deep sea can also give us knowledge about what are available down there, how the life forms lives, and find out how us, human, can survive down there or make a good use of the depth's resources. This is very important since as the time goes by, the number of people escalated and so does the need for foods and other human needs.

The deep-sea then can be one of the resources for us to rely on to fulfill the needs such as food, energy, etc. Deep-sea findings can even unlock some new resources from the ecosystems that might give benefits for the medical drugs and other products.

The continuous exploration on the ocean can keep us informed about the ocean's conditions from time to time. The findings from it then can help us compare the ocean's conditions from time to time. Especially now that the climate change is happening, we can keep track the changes that happens to the ocean and what might affect our life.

Vice versa, we can also know what parts of our life that may cause harm to the ocean that will most likely impact us, human, too in the end and then fix those parts for the ocean's sake.

Encourage People to Study Further about the Ocean

One of the effects of ocean exploration, although may seem unimportant, is that it can inspire the young people to seek careers in the fields that may contribute to the ocean literacy such as mathematics, engineering, science, and technology.

As we said before, although this may seem unimportant but it actually is since it young people can have fresh insights to the ocean literacy as the different generations may have develop different and unique ways of thinking. The thoughts of challenging the deep ocean may taunt people more to innovate technology and engineering breakthroughs that can even be applied in other situations too.

Relatively Cheaper Than Other Explorations

The ocean exploration, although must have cost a lot, but it can be considered as relatively cheaper than the other, let's say space explorations. What's more to it is that ocean exploration may even be relatively easier than those of the space (although we are aware that some parts of the ocean are too deep that the human can't even reach it yet, but in general, ocean is obviously reachable than the space).

See also: Characteristics Ocean Liners

Ocean exploration may lead us to some artefacts that are from years and years ago. These artefacts then can be studied by the archeologists to find out more about the ancient life, and add valuable information that may be very useful for us humanbeing, also to better understand the history.

See also: Endangered Species of the Ocean

As there are good effects, we can't deny the fact that there are some negative effects of ocean exploration too as not all people can use the ocean wisely. Here are some of the negative effects (9-15) that may or have emerge from the ocean exploration:

Ocean exploration can also lead people to locate the parts in the ocean that are actually full of resources for us, human. Although these resources may be very useful to us, the ocean mining can also lead to many harmful events and may as well damage the ocean itself if not done in the right way or if it gets overdone.

10. Irresponsible Ocean Creature Captures

Ocean exploration may also help us to locate places in the ocean that are full of the fish that we can consume in our everyday life. However, just like the point before this, continuous exploration may lead some people to capture ocean creatures that are not supposed to be captured and even lead to overfishing.

See also: General Characteristics of Coastal Ocean

11. Exploitation of Ocean Creature

Besides of irresponsible captures, ocean exploration may even lead to exploitation on some ocean creatures or marine life forms. For example, the overexposing of the great barrier reef that may cause damages to the reef due to the people who visits it that don't really understand how to deal with them and so many other factors.

12. Ocean Treasures Destruction

Although the artefact findings from the exploration may give benefits to us, it can also lead to the destruction of them if the information doesn't used wisely by some people. The information of new findings may lead people to be greedy and take them from their supposed place just for the benefits of some people. This is definitely not we want as some unmoved artefacts are left just the way it is as it may be fragile or considered as protected sites.

13. Ocean Waste

Ocean explorations may also lead people to some parts of the ocean that are considered unreachable and pop the idea that it is save for them to dump wastes in the ocean. Although some ocean waste is done in very rural places in the ocean, it is possible for them to ruin the ecosystems around the area.

14. Waste of Money, Time, and Energy

Some people or experts do ocean explorations to find out whether it is possible to live in it, just as how people do the same for space explorations. However, many thinks that the idea and act of this might just lead to the waste of money, time, and energy since human most-likely will not be able to bear the pressure and will only leads to the fact that the ocean is inhabitable for human.

15. Become Increasingly Expensive Too

Although in the positive points it is said that ocean exploration is cheaper than the space, the ocean exploration is becoming exceedingly expensive as the time goes by. A simple survey for ocean exploration can cost to as much as $50 million.

What makes the ocean exploration's spending become more unworthy is due to the fact that the exploration might just lead to nothing. As once we get deeper under 50 miles off shore, we will mostly greet by featureless mud only. Whereas in the space, although we may as well be greeted by nothing, but we can at least identify some targets to place probes or telescopes.

As we can see, there are some good and bad effects caused by the ocean exploration. However, the bad effects can certainly be reduced if us, human, were to do the exploration in the correct way and will use the information that will be find wisely. We hope that this article has been helpful to make you understand better about the ocean exploration and inspire you to do good things for the ocean.

This week marks the 10th Annual World Oceans Day, a global confluence of ocean-awareness events intended to bring our oceans the level of public attention they deserve. As we both have had the opportunity to explore a fair amount of our globe's seas, on this occasion we'd like to share our excitement and our vision for the future.

Ray Dalio (@raydalio) is the founder of Bridgewater Associates and the OceanX initiative. Marc Benioff (@benioff) is CEO and chair of Salesforce, as well as founder of the Benioff Ocean Initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

To us, the ocean is humanity's most important and most under-examined treasure. While the world below the ocean's surface is more than twice the size of the world above it and contains an estimated 94 percent of the space where life can exist on Earth, only 5 percent of the world's oceans have been fully explored.

The ocean is critical to human life-more than 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe comes from it. It drives our weather, provides a nutritious food supply, and is a key source of commerce, supporting more than 28 million jobs in the United States alone. For those reasons, it deserves our reverence and protection. Instead, humans neglect it and treat it like a toilet that we overfish from.

We believe ocean exploration is more exciting and more important than space exploration. Yet it only receives about one-one hundredth as much funding. We want to change that by showing people the ecosystems and underwater habitats across the globe that are brimming with unexplored environments filled with species that have evolved in ways we cannot possibly imagine. By discovering and understanding these ecosystems, we can unlock cures to diseases, grow new foods, discover new medicines, create new industries, and fully understand our planet. The possibilities are endless, if we choose to open the door to them.

Thanks to profound technological advancements in recent years, we now have the potential to open these doors like never before. Using new sensors, submarine technology, and autonomous vehicles, humans have the opportunity to advance the public's understanding and appreciation of the ocean, much as the development of scuba equipment and underwater cameras allowed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau to captivate the world 50 years ago.

Using many of these technologies, the BBC's recent Blue Planet II inspired a new generation of explorers to turn toward the ocean and prodded public policymakers to introduce new measures to prevent plastics pollution. When it sets sail next year, the Alucia2, a new vessel funded by OceanX, will be the most advanced vessel designed for both media production and cutting-edge scientific research, bringing the excitement of ocean discovery to the world as broadcast and digital programs and in real time.

Exploring our oceans is key to protecting them. As renowned oceanographer Sylvia Earle has said, "Far and away, the biggest threat to the ocean is ignorance." Exploration is the key to ending that ignorance and making the oceans accessible, tangible, and exciting to the broader world so that people will understand and protect them.

Creating such understanding will ensure we don't lose the richness of the biological assets in our oceans before they are even discovered. Protected areas, such as Papahānaumokuākea and the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monuments, serve as savings accounts that protect strategic areas of our ocean for future exploration and discovery while simultaneously producing more fish, food, and income for fisheries.

Even as we begin to explore the most remote reaches of our oceans, we are finding them sullied-with trash detected at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of our ocean, and floating in the most remote regions of Antarctica. This signals we must act now to ensure we discover more than plastic bottles during this next generation of ocean exploration.

There are many great government and non-profit organizations, philanthropists, scientists, and entrepreneurs doing critical and unheralded work to protect our oceans-but they need more support. Not just in the form of funding, but in the form of public energy and momentum.

One positive sign is that world leaders at the G7 Summit in Canada today are prioritizing ocean health, calling for aggressive measures to combat plastic pollution and climate change. We need this interest to translate into a firm G7 stance on oceans. And we need this ripple of leadership to turn into a tidal wave of public, private, and community support for securing the healthy future for our oceans upon which we all depend.

15. Become Increasingly Expensive Too

Although in the positive points it is said that ocean exploration is cheaper than the space, the ocean exploration is becoming exceedingly expensive as the time goes by. A simple survey for ocean exploration can cost to as much as $50 million.

What makes the ocean exploration's spending become more unworthy is due to the fact that the exploration might just lead to nothing. As once we get deeper under 50 miles off shore, we will mostly greet by featureless mud only. Whereas in the space, although we may as well be greeted by nothing, but we can at least identify some targets to place probes or telescopes.

As we can see, there are some good and bad effects caused by the ocean exploration. However, the bad effects can certainly be reduced if us, human, were to do the exploration in the correct way and will use the information that will be find wisely. We hope that this article has been helpful to make you understand better about the ocean exploration and inspire you to do good things for the ocean.

* "The deep-sea then can be one of the resources for us to rely on to fulfill the needs such as food, energy, etc. Deep-sea findings can even unlock some new resources from the ecosystems that might give benefits for the medical drugs and other products."
*This shows that researching about the ocean is important because it could help us with medical drugs and many other things.

As we all probably know before, the ocean covers approximately about 70% of the Earth's surface. This fact then makes it understandable that there are so many parts of the vast water body that haven't been explored or find out yet.

Not only because the vast body, the ocean is also hard to reach on many parts since some parts of the ocean are very deep that human has yet been able to descend to the depth.

According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, ocean exploration is about making discoveries, searching for things that are unusual and unexpected through a disciplined, systematic, and includes rigorous observations and documentation of biological, chemical, physical, geological, and archaeological aspects of the ocean.

In this article, we are going to learn more about what are actually the effects of ocean exploration.

Filling Gaps in the Ocean Information

Findings from the ocean exploration are very fundamental to fill in the gaps on the blank information regarding the ocean. The information acquired through the explorations then can be used by the scientists to decide what to do on ocean issues and to come up with some ideas regarding the ocean.

The information from ocean explorations can establish the baseline information needed to better understand environmental change, NOAA explained. The findings can help scientists to address both current situations and to predict the future situations that may emerge. The information then can be used to know what to do in order to protect the ocean, make them still around for the future generations to enjoy.

Since the information about the deep sea are still very little, like what we have said above, the new findings especially regarding the deep sea are very important to all of us especially the scientists. Through the information, the experts then can know the how the situation is down there and learn what to do when there are deep sea disasters since we haven't known much yet due to the lack of information before. For example, it may give us some valuable information about predicting the earthquakes and tsunamis.

The new information gained through the exploration regarding the deep sea can also give us knowledge about what are available down there, how the life forms lives, and find out how us, human, can survive down there or make a good use of the depth's resources. This is very important since as the time goes by, the number of people escalated and so does the need for foods and other human needs.

The deep-sea then can be one of the resources for us to rely on to fulfill the needs such as food, energy, etc. Deep-sea findings can even unlock some new resources from the ecosystems that might give benefits for the medical drugs and other products.

The continuous exploration on the ocean can keep us informed about the ocean's conditions from time to time. The findings from it then can help us compare the ocean's conditions from time to time. Especially now that the climate change is happening, we can keep track the changes that happens to the ocean and what might affect our life.

Vice versa, we can also know what parts of our life that may cause harm to the ocean that will most likely impact us, human, too in the end and then fix those parts for the ocean's sake.

Encourage People to Study Further about the Ocean

One of the effects of ocean exploration, although may seem unimportant, is that it can inspire the young people to seek careers in the fields that may contribute to the ocean literacy such as mathematics, engineering, science, and technology.

As we said before, although this may seem unimportant but it actually is since it young people can have fresh insights to the ocean literacy as the different generations may have develop different and unique ways of thinking. The thoughts of challenging the deep ocean may taunt people more to innovate technology and engineering breakthroughs that can even be applied in other situations too.

Relatively Cheaper Than Other Explorations

The ocean exploration, although must have cost a lot, but it can be considered as relatively cheaper than the other, let's say space explorations. What's more to it is that ocean exploration may even be relatively easier than those of the space (although we are aware that some parts of the ocean are too deep that the human can't even reach it yet, but in general, ocean is obviously reachable than the space).

Ocean exploration may lead us to some artefacts that are from years and years ago. These artefacts then can be studied by the archeologists to find out more about the ancient life, and add valuable information that may be very useful for us humanbeing, also to better understand the history.

As there are good effects, we can't deny the fact that there are some negative effects of ocean exploration too as not all people can use the ocean wisely. Here are some of the negative effects (9-15) that may or have emerge from the ocean exploration:

Ocean exploration can also lead people to locate the parts in the ocean that are actually full of resources for us, human. Although these resources may be very useful to us, the ocean mining can also lead to many harmful events and may as well damage the ocean itself if not done in the right way or if it gets overdone.

10. Irresponsible Ocean Creature Captures

Ocean exploration may also help us to locate places in the ocean that are full of the fish that we can consume in our everyday life. However, just like the point before this, continuous exploration may lead some people to capture ocean creatures that are not supposed to be captured and even lead to overfishing.

11. Exploitation of Ocean Creature

Besides of irresponsible captures, ocean exploration may even lead to exploitation on some ocean creatures or marine life forms. For example, the overexposing of the great barrier reef that may cause damages to the reef due to the people who visits it that don't really understand how to deal with them and so many other factors.

12. Ocean Treasures Destruction

Although the artefact findings from the exploration may give benefits to us, it can also lead to the destruction of them if the information doesn't used wisely by some people. The information of new findings may lead people to be greedy and take them from their supposed place just for the benefits of some people. This is definitely not we want as some unmoved artefacts are left just the way it is as it may be fragile or considered as protected sites.

13. Ocean Waste

Ocean explorations may also lead people to some parts of the ocean that are considered unreachable and pop the idea that it is save for them to dump wastes in the ocean. Although some ocean waste is done in very rural places in the ocean, it is possible for them to ruin the ecosystems around the area.

14. Waste of Money, Time, and Energy

Some people or experts do ocean explorations to find out whether it is possible to live in it, just as how people do the same for space explorations. However, many thinks that the idea and act of this might just lead to the waste of money, time, and energy since human most-likely will not be able to bear the pressure and will only leads to the fact that the ocean is inhabitable for human.

15. Become Increasingly Expensive Too

Although in the positive points it is said that ocean exploration is cheaper than the space, the ocean exploration is becoming exceedingly expensive as the time goes by. A simple survey for ocean exploration can cost to as much as $50 million.

What makes the ocean exploration's spending become more unworthy is due to the fact that the exploration might just lead to nothing. As once we get deeper under 50 miles off shore, we will mostly greet by featureless mud only. Whereas in the space, although we may as well be greeted by nothing, but we can at least identify some targets to place probes or telescopes.

As we can see, there are some good and bad effects caused by the ocean exploration. However, the bad effects can certainly be reduced if us, human, were to do the exploration in the correct way and will use the information that will be find wisely. We hope that this article has been helpful to make you understand better about the ocean exploration and inspire you to do good things for the ocean.
