Ocean is the repository of several living organisms including micro and macro organisms. It also plays a vital role in maintaining natural diversity. They can use Carbon dioxide most effectively for reproductive purpose. The billions of green organisms in the sea use Carbon Dioxide for the food making process. Majority people of our country depend upon the richness of fish in the ocean for their existence. It gives food as well as job for them.
