The Atlantic ¹CDC stats on Marine Terminal and Port Operations At present rates, the edible fish stocks will be depleted in 40 years The seabed beneath international waters contain more valuable minerals than all the continents combined Demand for rare earth materials is projected to reach 315,000 tons in 2030, driven by increasing uptake in green technologies. The Blue Acceleration: Global trends in (A) marine aquaculture production; (B) deep offshore hydrocarbon production, including gas, crude oil, and natural gas liquids below 125 m; (C) total area of seabed under mining contract in areas beyond national jurisdiction; (D) cumulative contracted seawater desalination capacity; (E) accumulated number of marine genetic sequences associated with a patent with international protection; (F) accumulated number of casts added to the World Ocean Database; (G) container port traffic measured in Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEU); (H) total length of submarine fiber optic cables; (1) number of cruise passengers; (J) cumulative offshore wind energy capacity installed; (K) total marine area protected; (L) total area of claimed extended continental shelf. nauticus robotics 18
