IMPORTANCE OF THIS BIOME TO MY COURSE:

The aquatic biome could help me in my course, which is BS-HRIM major in Culinary Arts, in making different kinds of seafood dishes.It could help me in inventing new seafood dishes by providing me the needs I want.Not only in the food industry, it could also help me with the tourism industry by endorsing the beach spots near. IT COULD BE A SOURCE OF INCOME.
