The Future Of Seas
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
The three-fourth of the earth holds a lot of potential for us. That is in the sea. That which is hidden and yet not exploited.
There have been some developments. For example longest under-sea fibre optics cable connects countries from Germany to Japan and Australia. It carries 4000 encyclopaedia worth of information in a second!
Submersibles are the futuristic mode of transport that will take the explorers to the deepest parts of the oceans. These sea vessels require a mechanism to lose weight to rise and sink. But Deep Flight II that has been invented by Graham Hawkes stays the same weight and flies like an airplane.
The Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion ships run in water power. They take up warm water on the earth's surface. And produce electricity!
The construction of the largest cruise liner is already going on. It is known as the Floating City. Almost 50,000 people can live here!
Also we can dream of a future of living underwater. Not any longer! Aquarius is an undersea laboratory near the coast of Florida; it is real.
Fish farming breeds newer and better varieties of fish. This would save us from the disasters of overfishing that is endangering our ecological systems and disrupting food chains. If this practice is encouraged then we could turn our fishermen into fish farmers.
Yet the sea holds the answers to a variety of our problems only if we care to look into this partially exploited reserve. Here I'd like to quote a few verses from John Masefield's (1878-1967), Sea Fever which was written in the year 1902: I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide - Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.
