Marine trade refers to the exchange of goods and services conducted via the world's oceans and seas. This trade involves various activities, including shipping, fishing, and maritime transport, which are essential for global commerce. Major shipping routes connect countries, allowing for the import and export of products like oil, electronics, and food. The marine trade industry relies on a network of ports, cargo ships, and fishing vessels to facilitate the movement of goods. It plays a crucial role in the economy, providing jobs and supporting industries such as shipbuilding and logistics. Sustainable practices are increasingly important to protect marine ecosystems.
