Summary

The oceans, which make up nearly 70% of the Earth’s surface, contain immense treasures. So why leave such extraordinary potential untapped? Imposing machinery has already been installed offshore to capture the energy of the sea, robots are beginning to explore the ocean beds, pharmaceutical groups manufacture cosmetics made from marine extracts ... The sea, which used to terrify mariners and inspire poets, now has industrialists hamkering after a gargantuan resource.
