Oceanography is the scientific study of the ocean. It is related to marine physics and biology. However, oceanographers are not only studying ocean life, but also other areas. So what is the importance and role of oceanography, in general, and especially in underdeveloped countries?
1. Ocean covers 71% in our earth
so most of the geological changes responsible by ocean
2. Ocean circulation responsible for global temperature distributions
3. Air sea interaction important for monsoons, breezes
Rich of biodiversity, mineral resources, oil exploration
4. Mass transportation and merchant
5. To deside continents

has already pointed out the most basic and apparent reason. But the facts are much deeper. The mysteries and prophecies are intricately more deeper than what appear on the surface (though the surface itself is a big mystery). I recently read a National Geographic coverage of the topic and I love to share a link with all of you.https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/oceanography/
All the best.
Two third of the surface of the earth is covered with oceans
Ocean controls the weather and climate of earth atmosphereic system
ocean contains lot of living and non -living resources
transport of heat from tropical region to polar region which controls the thermohaline circulation of the ocean etc.
ocean acts as a sink of Co2
In my opinion, ocean is vital for underdeveloped countries because most of this countries such as ,Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia, depends on it especially for fisheries sector. Hence, oceanography is important for these countries so that they can monitor, prevention of any disruptive activities and further utilize what the ocean can give with the environmental consideration.
