In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used
up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs.
The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out
for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exit on the ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be
used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this
possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2010 the problems that prevent us from exploiting
fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.
