Oil & Natural Gas- main energy products currently being obtained from the ocean floor. the ancient remains of microscopic organisms are the source of today's deposits of oil and natural gas.
Gas Hydrates-compact chemical structures made of water and natural gas. most oceanic gas hydrates are created when bacteria break down organic matter trapped in ocean floor.
Sand & Gravel- used for landfill, to fill recreational beaches, and to make concrete. mined by offshore barges using barges using suction devices
Manganese Molecules- hard lumps of manganese and other metals that precipitate around smaller objects. environmental concerns of disturbing the ocean floor
Salts- when concentration becomes high enough, the salts precipitate out of solution and form salt deposits, which can be harvested. most common use is table salt.
