Oceans provide us many types of resources. Oceans influence the climate and they are the most economical means of transportation. Sea minerals, food, energy and oceanic transportation are the direct benefits derived from the oceans, while the effect of oceans on the climate is the indirect benefit. Resources obtained from the land are on the verge of ending up. In such situation, oceans are the reserves of the future.

The proximity of the oceans is favorable to humans. Entertainment, sight-seeing, sports, swimming, sailing etc. are done through them. Oceans have a profound impact on human civilization. The natural source of rainfall on continents is the ocean. 

Thus, oceans have immense significance for humans.

Utility of Oceans: The rapid growth of population in the world is sure to cause a crisis of food and lack of natural resources. Thus, oceans have the potential to rid mankind of this horrible crisis.
