Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea.
Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea
has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many
parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s
population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
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
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 exist

on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large
quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient
skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
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.
Page 9

/>Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under

Grade 12

the sea. The development of strong, new material has made this
possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve.
Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us
from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the
sea will be largely solved.
