Ocean Roller Coaster Ride

Pick one of the four oceans. What are the five most important natural resources that people get from that ocean?



Pacific Ocean:


From the information I got from Msn Encarta,
Nutrient-rich waters from the deep Antarctic Circumpolar Current upwell to the surface in the Peru Current along the coast of Chile and Peru, and the area sustains a large population of anchovetas that is of great importance as a world food resource. Tuna is another important Pacific resource, bringing fleets of many nations in search of the schools that migrate over much of the ocean.
