Thesis StatementThe relabeling of the world's oceans by the International Hydrographic Organization was a beneficial decision for research involving ecosystem and boundaries important for conservation of the marine life in the Southern Ocean. . A. Key points of the introduction.1. One of the benefits of relabeling the world's oceans is that it separates an ocean that has unique characteristics.2. The second benefit is to designate official boundaries of the Southern Ocean which will facilitate different types of research.3. The third benefit of relabeling the world's oceans would be to contribute to the conservation of marine life and the ecosystem in which they live. Why was it necessary to relabel the world's oceans? One of the benefits of relabeling the world's oceans is that it separates an ocean that has unique characteristics. The second benefit is to designate official boundaries of the Southern Ocean which will facilitate different types of research. The third benefit of relabeling the world's oceans would help conserve marine life and the ecosystem in which they live. The re-labeling of the world's oceans by the International Hydrographic Organization was a beneficial decision for research involving ecosystem and boundaries important for the conservation of marine life in the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean has currents and movements that are unique to this body of water. . In the "New Fifth Ocean", Matt Rosenberg quotes Commodore John Leech of the IHO as supporting the fifth ocean claim: ; “In recent years, much oceanographic research has focused on ocean circulations, first because of El Nino, then because of the broader interest in global warming...... middle of article......
