Who owns the Ocens minerals.

Minerals are important because they have many uses and they are valuable



The oceans minerals are Halite, Potassium, Magnesium, Sand, Gravel, Limestone and Gypsum.


These minerals are valuable because they have many uses, for example halite is used in food and we find it only in oceans


According to the sea law the nations that own the part of the ocean should mine in that specific area, the nobodies land should be share by all the nations that wish to mine and maybe the inland nations too.


The problem with mining in the oceans is that the water around gets polluted and the pollution kills the fish which ruins the food chain.


Everyone owns the oceans minerals and there should be no differences in poor and rich countries because everyone has the same rights.


The rights say that all the nations should get the same amount of the oceans minerals and there are no differences between developing and rich countries.


Yes we agree with the rights because it is not fair for the developing counties that they are left out. Rich countries such as the USA want the part of the Arctic minerals when they are not even touching the Arctic Circle.


All of the countries should share, the mineral profits should be shared over the world evenly and rich counties should compromise about how much they keep for themselves and how much they give away.
