The Oceans: the neglected resource
Presented by DUNCAN CARSE
The oceans occupy two-thirds of the world's surface, yet man has so far made little effort to exploit their vast resources of fish, plants, and minerals. In recent years we have put more money into exploring outer space than into the oceans.
Now exciting developments in divine apparatus, undersea work-inK. and fish farming put us on the verge of a technological revolution —a revolution that will enable industrialists and governments to get ' treasure ' from the deep.
