The North Sea plays a significant role in marine transportation, fishing, and has rich natural resources, including significant deposits of oil and natural gas. The sea is also known for its diverse marine ecosystem, which includes various species of fish and seabirds. Its coastal areas are important for trade, tourism, and economic activities in the surrounding countries.
