The issues associated with ocean development to determine their implication for the U.S. maritime industry have been examined. The examination embraced ocean energy systems, offshore oil and gas activities, food from the sea, deep seabed mining, and the use of ocean space. The requirements that ocean-resource development places on the maritime industry do not show sharp differences from one resource to the next. While the technological base on which the means of recovery and use of the resources can be built and deployed has been developed, more scientific work and technological development are needed. However, it is the committee's opinion that the true factors pacing the effort to bring many of the resources into use and to achieve the many benefits are of an economic, legal, and public-policy nature.
