The use of the Pacific Ocean in human economic activities.

The Pacific Ocean plays a significant role in the lives of people who live on the lands washed by it and its seas. Biological resources form the basis of the inhabitants’ diets. These states trade with some other types of fish and seafood. Island states are almost entirely dependent on the ocean. Shipping enables trade to develop. Many significant trade routes pass through the Pacific Ocean. Many ports are built on the shores. The Pacific Ocean shelf is rich in natural resources. Oil and gas production is actively developing. There are many projects on the use of the ocean for energy, which will be implemented in the near future.
