| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | n the first edition of this text, my stated objective was to "help the student develop an appreciation for the oceans through an understanding of their physical and biological processes." I had not, how-ever, presented this very worthwhile goal with any great sense of urgency. conducted by the OPEC nations created strong concern about the development of potential oil reserves lying beneath the continental margin. In a more pressing tone, I discussed the investigation of non-polluting, renewable energy sources such as ocean winds, currents, waves, tides, and temperature differences. Political activities were aimed at clearing the way for the mining of manganese nodules from the deep-ocean floor and the establishment of a 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone by more and more nations. |
