And coastal cities will play a crucial role in the economy. The principle maritime shipping lanes illustrate the globalisation of the economy, rising trade flows mean that the shipping will grow dramatically over the coming decades. Container traffic could rise fivefold in the coming forty years. This growth requires massive new investments in both ships and port infrastructure. About 80% of all tourism takes place on the coast. Cruise ship vacations are the fastest growing sector of the leisure travel industry. All of the economic activity requires energy, offshore oil and gas, fuels in modern world. New production, especially deep water operations off the coasta in Africa, Brazil and elsewhere will be critical to our future energy needs.Limiting the environmental impacts of the operations will be essential New forms of offshore energy could offer renewable and low-pollutoin alternatives for our future needs. Maritime wind power’s growing fast and could provide up to a third of all wind power by 2050. Tidal and wave power are also promising. But building semi-permanent energy facilities offshore poses potential problems, particularly if they……??...grounds,...??..shipping lanes.
