The objective of the Ocean Yearbooks is to present an integrated view of man's activities in and relating to the oceans, to analyze trends, and to present them in their interaction.

Since 1978, marine biologists, oceanographers, and specialists in foreign policy, ocean development, international law, and strategic studies have found the "Ocean Yearbook" series to be an invaluable asset for research on one of the world's vital resources.
Volume 11 addresses the development of marine resources, along with recent transportation, communication, marine science, and technology developments. Twenty-four articles focus on such topics as sea-based nuclear issues, regional cooperation, transport of liquefied natural gas, along with an analysis of the UN conference on Straddling and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks.

The Law of the Sea Conference finds itself steeped in issues of the economics of mining, of fishing, of navigation, of technology and technology-transfer. Without clarity about such issues, without concepts and data readily available, it is not possible to form a meaningful new law of the sea; no new order for the seas and oceans can be built. The new law of the sea has to straddle law, economics, and science in unprecedented ways.The people who have to make this new law need the facts set in an orderly and logical framework: not specialized facts in specialized books that are hard to come by and go through but an overview of concepts and data in their interaction.... The Ocean Yearbook is intended as a contribution to the satisfaction of this newly felt need.

Ocean Yearbook 7 is the result of the efforts of the many individuals and organizations. Here only a few can be cited. Thanks are due to the various organizations and agencies that contributed to this volume, both substantively and through their actions.
