WHO WILL MINE THE RICHES OF THE SEA? - Donald D Schroeder - January 1982

Donald D Schroeder

Decisions made in the next few months may determine whether nations peacefully resolve ownership and control of the oceans' riches! Who really owns the oceans? What authority has the right to dictate how nations use and control the seas? Where does a nation's coastal jurisdiction stop? For decades the ownership and control of more than 70 percent of the earth's surface - the ocean and ocean bottoms - has become a growing dispute. And no wonder! The ocean floor is potentially the greatest treasure trove of untapped, exploitable minerals in the world! A new kind of battle is suddenly shaping' up for the control of the riches of the seabed. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
