Benefits Of Sea Water Ecosystems

Marine ecosystems are one of the Earth's aquatic ecosystems. They include: oceans, estuaries and lagoons, mangroves and coral reefs, deep seas and seabed. This is a giant reservoir of water that covers about 71% of the Earth's surface (an area of about 361 million square kilometers).

These ecosystems differ from freshwater ecosystems mainly because of their salty water. The salt concentration in the open ocean is usually 3.5% (35 parts per thousand / ppt). The dominant ions are sodium and chloride. The average temperature of the marine ecosystem is 2-3 degrees Celsius, without light. Marine ecosystems are ecosystems that provide many benefits to human life. Some of the benefits of the sea water ecosystem include:

• As a source of food for humans, both animal and vegetable.

• As a climate controller in the world

• As a generator of wind power, wave power and tidal power.

• As a place of recreation and entertainment

• As a place for fish farming, pearl shellfish, seaweed, and so on.

• As a place for mining goods to be located

• As a place for research as well as research

• As a source of drinking water

• As a place for transportation routes.

• As a place of livelihood for local residents.

 

Reducing one component of an ecosystem can affect other parts. If you've heard the phrase ecosystem approach, it is a type of natural resource management that involves making decisions regarding the entire ecosystem. This philosophy recognizes that everything in an ecosystem is interconnected.

Water is a substance that surrounds all marine organisms. Sea water is also a part of the building blocks of plants and marine animals. In addition, in general, seawater ecosystems have a high level of biodiversity so that they are thought to have good resistance to invasive species.
