From Birth, Man Carries The Weight Of

If Human Civilization Is Going To Invade The Waters Of The Earth, Then Let It Be First Of All To Carry A Message Of Respect.

There Are No Boundaries In The Real Planet Earth. No United States, No Soviet Union, No China, No Taiwan...rivers Flow Unimpeded Across The Swaths Of Continents. The Persistent Tides - The Pulse Of The Sea - Do Not Discriminate; They Push Against All The Varied Shores On Earth.

However Fragmented The World, However Intense The National Rivalries, It Is An Inexorable Fact That We Become More Interdependent Every Day. I Believe That National Sovereignties Will Shrink In The Face Of Universal Interdependence. The Sea, The Great Unifier, Is Man's Only Hope. Now, As Never Before, The Old Phrase Has A Literal Meaning: We Are All In The Same Boat.

The Road To The Future Leads Us Smack Into The Wall. We Simply Ricochet Off The Alternatives That Destiny Offers. Our Survival Is No More Than A Question Of 25, 50 Or Perhaps 100 Years.

With Earth's Burgeoning Human Population To Feed We Must Turn To The Sea With Understanding And New Technology. We Need To Farm It As We Farm The Land.
