Ocean minerals disscution

On Friday my class got a new assignment to discuss our blog post about "Who Ones the Ocean Minerals". There were 4 groups; the members of my group were Alex, Maryam, Alfie, and me. In my opinion the best arguments were Alfie’s and mine. Basically, we said that the oceans belong to everyone, but they don’t belong to anyone, meaning that everybody should share the sea on the other hand it won’t be fair that anyone claimed the sea by themselves; that coastal countries find a way to share ocean minerals with land locked countries through trade or some kind of exchange so anyone have access to ocean minerals; that in case of poor coastal country neighboring with a rich land locked country they should kind of compromise and offer each other hand in form of technology from one side and access to the ocean from the other side; unfortunately we didn’t even mention a case of poor land locked country which kind of doesn’t have a solution. We also talked about how important ocean minerals are, for example salt as the most important ocean mineral and is essential for human survival. We also mentioned other minerals especially crude oil which lead us to the topic of pollution as every exploitation of the ocean bed inevitably leads to pollution, therefore who ever exploit the ocean must take responsibility to protect the eco system that has been disturbed by exploitation.
