Synopsis
This new edition is expanded and reorganized, and includes new figures and tables. There is new material on the use of satellites in remote sensing and position fixing, hydrothermal vents at floor spreading centers, renewable resources in the sea, seabed minerals, oil and gas, pollution, and the laws of the sea. Examples are drawn from a wide range of seas: the coral reefs and mangrove swamps of the Indo-Pacific, the Great Barrier Reef on the northeast coast of Australia, fish farming in the Far East, and mining manganese in the Pacific.
