Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man.

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

ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.

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 2000 the
problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the sea will be largely solved.
