The most valuable resource in the ocean and on land is crude oil and natural gas. These
are nonrenewable resources made from organisms that broke down into simple
carbohydrates over time in areas with low oxygen levels.
Oil is excavated by drilling. Most of the oil platforms are relatively near to the shore.
The deeper the drilling, the more difficult and costly it becomes.
Sand and gravel are the second most valuable resources. Solid deposits are considered to
be nonrenewable. Sand can be suction-dredged onto temporary islands before being
shipped to various locations worldwide.
