Synopsis

Excerpt from Shell-Fish Industries

Mr. Roosevelt uttered a great truth when he stated that the most important problem confronting the nation is the conservation of its natural resources; and the wonderful awakening of the people to that truth, for which he more than any other person is responsible, is one of the most important events that has occurred in America during a century of waste and extravagance. An attempt has here been made to show that even the resources of the great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, are very far from being inexhaustible, as many seem to imagine; but also that some of its useful forms may, by directing the processes of nature that are at the same time productive of so great bounty and so great waste, not only be conserved, but made to produce even on waste places greater harvests than ever before existed.
