 My name is Nishan Degnorein. I'm here to talk about the potential of the oceans as a new frontier for mankind. The oceans represent a tremendous potential for mankind. 70% of the world's surface is covered by the oceans. 80% of the world's population will be living by the oceans by 2030. 90% of world's trade travel via the oceans. So there's tremendous potential on how we can use our oceans that today science and technology is now allowing us to explore and to use. One area that we should think about is the world that we're going to live in by 2030. As we see the population growing to 9 billion people, we will need a source of protein to feed the growing middle classes. If we look at the alternative sources of protein, whether it's from beef or pork or poultry, these have a very significant carbon footprint. However, seafood represents a tremendous opportunity. It's healthy in terms of the acids and the fats that are available. It's low carbon and it provides employment for some of the poorest communities around the world. However, business as usual is not good enough. We cannot continue to develop our oceans as we are currently developing our oceans. The wildcatch fisheries industry has almost decimated fish stocks around the world. We need new technologies and new approaches in how to develop protein from the sea. This is where we're seeing the decline of wildcatch fisheries, but the increase in aquaculture. Let's look at the punta breadth of the world oceans. Despite all the innovation we've had in the land and air, we still rely on the oceans for world trade. Offshore, oil and gas, when you look at the minerals and the energy that will be needed, we have both renewable and hydrocarbon. But also wind and new technologies such as OTEC using deep ocean currents. The oceans represent a new frontier in so many dimensions that's crucial to mankind. When you consider we face dramatic water shortages on land, when it comes to agriculture, it comes to sanitation. There's tremendous potential to use desalination from the oceans to help in drinking water for the population as well as agriculture. So we're only just beginning to explore the frontier of the oceans. This will require coordination, coordination from business, coordination from government and the potential of technology. And we're starting to see that today as the technology becomes very real.
