Résumé :

The study of the development of the use and exploitation of non-living ocean resources requires a complex consideration of economic and historical factors, of legal and environmental issues, and, in contemporary settings of communication theory and use-conflicts dilemmas. Emphasis in economic, albeit economic-geographic, studies pertaining to the marine domain has traditionally been placed on fisheries—including, lately, mariculture—and on hydrocarbons extraction. Yet numerous other “products” are exploitable, and several have been exploited, such as energy extraction, tourism and recreation, therapy, ores, minerals, and water itself. © 1992, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
