Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Decade of Ocean Exploration In the period that followed, the military submarine came into being, raising a host of new and different questions about the ocean. World fisheries expanded from.. A largely coastal, unmechanized, limited-catch activity to its present state where great industrial fish ing expeditions roam the world catching with such intensity that whole stocks are threat ened with extinction, and conflicts over access occur among nations. The industrial and eco nomic activities of man ashore have increased to a point where wastes released to the ocean, once minor and incidental, now have the po tential for major impact with, again, conflicts. The rapid draw-down of mineral and fuel resources ashore coincident with the realization that vast resources may be found beneath both the shallow and deep sea constitutes em other intensive use of the sea, another source of international conflict. The science of mete orology and the demands of modern society on it have advanced to the point where weather forecasters need to know the influ ence of the ocean on weather in discrete, real time terms. These and other uses each have required more knowledge. The development of such knowledge illuminates new uses and resources of the sea which, in turn, create a new demand for knowledge.
