The report of the Secretary General on oceans and the law of the sea demonstrates that there is more to the sea than the exploitation of traditional natural resources such as fisheries, oil and gas.

Non living marine resources include beach and nearshore minerals, deep sea minerals, offshore oil and gas, and chemicals and freshwater from the sea. Deep sea minerals

Genetic resources derived from the seabed and the capacity to drill for oil and gas under deeper waters are just two examples of how science and technology can generate greater wealth from the sea.

Oil and gas exploration.

Oil and gas production in offshore environments and the shipment of crude oil and refined products pose the risk of catastrophic spills that affect the marine environment in particular.

Non fiscal revenue Oil revenue and gas royalties

The combined value of ocean resources such as fish and minerals, including oil and gas, and ocean uses such as the recreation industry, transportation and communications, is currently estimated at approximately 7 trillion per year.

electricity, gas, oil consumption

Its major commercial applications included coastal zone and environmental monitoring, marine navigation, offshore oil and gas operation, natural disaster mitigation and coastal and deep ocean fishing.

The Joint WMO IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology continues to use oceanographic satellites for both marine data collection and the dissemination of information to marine users.

(g) Naturally occurring meso scale marine ecosystems

The production of cocoa, coffee, palm oil and oil and gas increased in 2004.

The ocean drives climate and weather, stabilizes temperature, shapes Earth's chemistry.

The effect of the provisions of the Convention on the continental shelf was that practically all seabed oil and natural gas resources would fall under the control of coastal States.

Offshore oil production in 2000 was estimated at 1.23 billion tons natural gas production was estimated at 650 billion cubic metres.

Revenues from Timor Sea oil and gas resources have started to flow in to make up for declining budgetary support from development partners.

Expressing its concern over the projected adverse effects of anthropogenic and natural climate change and ocean acidification on the marine environment and marine biodiversity,

The WMO Commission for Marine Meteorology, the joint IOC WMO Committee for Integrated Global Ocean Services System and the IOC Committee for the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange maintain a high level of interest in the use of satellites for both ocean observation and marine communications.

Vice Ministry of Hydrocarbons (Ministry of Mining and Hydrocarbons)

The Special Rapporteur had noted that there were many similarities between groundwaters and oil and gas, and that the elaboration of draft articles on groundwaters would have implications for oil and gas, and that conversely State practice with regard to oil and gas had a bearing on groundwaters.

C. Pollution from offshore oil and gas activities

...until a well 1000 feet in depth has been drilled unless oil or gas shall have been struck at a lesser depth.

Why? Air quality was the reason they used natural gas and got away from diesel.

It has an open ocean subsystem to improve weather and climate forecasting and a coastal one for coastal seas.

Aside from the traditional non living resources of the sea, such as oil and gas, it is estimated that the seabed contains close to 300 minerals, many of which may eventually prove worthy of exploration and exploitation for the benefit of mankind.

In 1995 the satellites Meteor 3, Resurs 01, Okean 01 and Electro continued to operate for the benefit of hydrometeorology, oceanography and investigation of the Earth apos s natural resources.

It's in NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

An agreement between Timor Leste and Australia over the sharing of Timor Sea oil and gas resources is close to finalization.

There's air sea interactions.

And all the burning of oil and coal and gas, all the fossil fuels, have changed the atmosphere greatly.

Among these, mention is made of tasks in mining, slaughtering and butchering of animals, oil and gas exploration, steel making, foundry work and forging and waste collection in the Antarctic or the islands of the South Atlantic, etc.

When they come back, they actually dump this oily ballast water into the ocean.

Brazil discovered hydrocarbons deep in the Atlantic Ocean a few years ago and has begun auctioning off rights, but actual production is still years away. Chile has no oil or gas, and no one in the neighborhood will sell it any, so it has to buy its supplies from as far away as Indonesia.

These included meteorological, atmospheric, oceanographic and terrestrial observations of the climate system.

Much of its implementation relies on the technical guidance provided by the Joint WMO IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology.

And so everyone can be at least happy to see a shift from coal or oil to natural gas.

Saudi Arabia explains that it will not be able to adequately manage its existing protected areas with its own funds.

NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (United States of America)

During the period 1987 2002, the largest cross border service M As in Bolivia involved, inter alia, Argentina (oil and gas, audiovisual), Brazil (oil and gas, electricity and transport) and Chile (banking).

(f) quot Environmental Regulations and Assessment in Offshore Oil and Gas Operations quot (Montevideo, Uruguay, 4 6 May 1994).

NASA also participated in the international Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) program.

These programmes include the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).

These programmes include the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and the Global Ocean Observation System (GOOS).
