What do you mean "Use oceans?" Like, fishing? Travel? Defense?

We use the oceans for many reasons. The oceans are a good source of fish, thus bringing in revenue. They also are amazing vacation destinations, and if you are shipping large quantities of something overseas you use the ocean for transport. (I.E. Oil going from the Persian Gulf to America, Europe. Chinese-made prducts being shipped to the USA.)

The real question is, why don't we use the oceans more? They offer plenty of energy, water (If we can desalinize it), and space to build homes. The US government has an oceanic exploration division, similar to NASA, called NOAH. I is largley underfunded, much to the anger of many people. The oceans should be the first place we explore, as it is likely more economical than space.
