• Because of this campaign, we will develop a technology to make a submarine for exploring the ocean into 6km deep. Only a few countries are able to do so.
• We may find some new species and develop a better understanding of oceanic biodiversity and maybe we can use it to protect them. 
• Because of this deep-sea campaign, many industrial sectors will provide job opportunities to the unemployed in many sectors. Like building ships and submarines and other many more things related to them.
