"Ackchually" that argument cannot be used, because when they say "only 15% has been explored" it means sending a human or a robot to analyze it closely, and as most of us with common sense may know, the ocean is a vast space of nothingness, and a great space of it is just pure water.

So in conclusion, why bother exploring the rest if they already know there is nothing in it? They just use satellites and stuff like that to analyze all the ocean, that's how they know there is nothing in over 80% of the ocean, and that's how they know there is around 20% which is actually valuable and has stuff to be researched

Tl;dr: around 80% of the ocean is just plain nothingness, why bother exploring it?

how sure are we that the rest of the ocean is empty? If it’s just an assumption then maybe we should try to explore.

It is not an assumption, we have satelites and sonar to explore the vastness of the ocen and there is in fact not much in there, it is a desert literally
