Nature has lavished incredible bounty on this earth. Warmed daily by the sun, nourished by the land, sustained by atmosphere and water, man takes these riches largely for granted and often complains when they fail to suit his convenience exactly. But man can also use his energies and talents, constructively, to improve his surroundings. Much of our natural bounty consists of water. A source of fish and transport to the ancients, as they are today, the oceans of the world hold great promise to provide future generations with minerals, food, energy, and fresh water. We must turn our attention to finding more appropriate ways and better means of transforming this promise into achievement. This comprehensive report presents the findings and conclusions of a group of outstanding men who are deeply concerned to learn more about the oceans and how they can be made to serve mankind. I commend it to all who share that concern and ask the appropriate agencies and councils of the Federal Government to consider its recommendations. - Lyndon Johnson
