can move surely into the hurly-burly without losing 

 scholarly integrity, a course most of us must be 

 prepared to follow . . .'. Biology must to .a new degree 

 achieve interaction with politics and the law. Scientific 

 integrity must be defended and this is not in conflict 

 with a willingness to 'stick one's neck out'. 



There is apparently no end in sight either to Man's 

 reproductive potential or to his infinite conceit that 

 he shall inherit the (still productive?) Earth. Yet there 

 is a limit to the sea as to the land. The uniqueness of 

 the Marine Revolution lies in part in the fact that 

 Man is recognizing the limits of the Earth as he is 

 developing exploitation of its most remote and 

 unknown region — the oceans and seas. It also lies in 

 the fact that the oceans' and seas' uncertain ownership 

 forces Man at last to consider alternatives to provin- 

 cialism and nationahsm. Indeed it may be said that 

 the Marine Revolution, for the first time in Man's 

 history, ties survival with international cooperation.
