To truly understand our planet,we must explore the oceanswhich
cover most of it.Opponents may be concerned,but sea exploration
is important for ourfuture.For
example,scientific research ships
can help address important issues
such as climate change.We need
to understand what is happening to
our planet so that we can take action. Therefore,more research is necessary. Understanding more about the sea
will also help us manage its resources better.L ogging new species will
improve ourunderstanding of life on the earth.It may help us discover new medicines,as well as new sources of food and energy.Accessing the deep ocean may also help us to predict
eventssuch asearthquakes.
The population of the world is
growing and we need new resources for futuredevelopment.There are
probably vast amountsof resources
under the sea and ice,not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals.
Of course,there are still environmental risks.However,these should be
balanced with economic needs.
Hopefully,as technology improves,we may have more options for managing this balance.

When people talk of exploring the sea(海洋探索)more,they
usually mean exploiting (海洋开发)it.Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more.
More exploration means more pollution.The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010.Plastic pollution is also bad,killing many birds and fish, and has even been found in our tap water.

Mining for resources is very damaging,especially in
the Arctic.Because of climate change,there is less ice now, which means we can look for more fossil fuels further north.
But if we burn these,the ice will melt more and this negative cycle (不良循环)will continue.Climate change is warning us that something is very wrong.

Overfishing is another problem.Whales and dolphins are
also hunted for their meat or for so-called research.Although this was banned in 1982,some countries are still "murdering" these intelligent creatures without mercy (无情地).
The sea is home to life(海洋是生命的家园),not human beings'possessions.It is huge,but it is more sensitive than we think.If we do not protect it, future generations will not forgive us.
