The oceans cover about 72 percent of our planet (which is named for
the remaining 28 percent). These oceans have fascinated and
challenged the human race for centuries. In the past, the ocean had
been used first as a source of food and later as a means of
transportation. However, the oceans have recently become very
important-they may offer a solution to many of our modern problems.
For example, refuse from land is to be dumped into the ocean never
to be seen again; fish and other biological resources are to be
caught and used to meet the protein deficiency of the world; oil
and gas from the continental shelf and perhaps deeper areas will
eventually solve our energy problems. None ofthese examples is
completely possible, and the at source offood and later as a means
of transportation. However, the oceans social, and ecological
problems in the marine environment. Countries are al ready planning
how the oceans can be divided up, so that they will get their "fair
share." Economists, politicians, and others are producing almost
daily, optimistic or pessimistic views (depending upon your own
viewpoint) about the ocean and its resources. Equally loud reports
come from environ mentalists, conservationists, government sources,
and oil companies con cerning the pollution and potential
destruction of the ocean."
