Dredging Fundy's depths : seabed mining in the Bay of Fundy / [written and produced by J.A. Percy].: En13-8/5-1996E-PDF
"For many people. the expression "marine resources" conjures up images of boatloads of fish. lobsters or scallops. Humans inhabiting the Fundy shores have depended on these living renewable resources for untold centuries. and even today they are still important to many coastal communities. However in recent decades there has been a growing interest in other valuable harvests from the sea, particularly some that are non-living. The most prominent of these are the gas and oil being extracted from subsea reservoirs in many parts of the world. Interest is also increasing in extracting other valuable mineral resources such as gold, titanium, tin and diamonds from promising marine deposits. Even such seemingly commonplace materials as sand and gravel (collectively termed "aggregate") are now being mined from undersea sources"--p. 1.
