Desert

The Sahara Desert is one huge "priceless commodity".  Does that statement appear backward?

Anything but.

"Productivity" in the Atlantic Ocean would be far less without the Sahara's "dusty" contribution.  Fish stocks at every level depend on it.  Fishermen can make a living because of it.  The consumer or food "chain" would take a "hit" without such a precious resource.

One individual's desert is another's "gold mine".

Tunnel vision - or the opposite - makes all the difference.
