This carefully researched and thoroughly thought-through book is a highly rational and valuable "crystal ball gaze" at the coming two decades as they effect the marine industry and wider marine environment.

The three contributing organisations need no introduction here. Their intellectual and fact collecting capabilities are widely acknowledged.

Forecasting, particularly over 20 years, is fraught with difficulty and the collaborators very openly accept that. To overcome that they have made their predictions based on a series of scenarios. That approach seems rational and to have a high probability of reasonable accuracy.

For those who have to make sensible investment decisions concerning the future of their ocean businesses in the mid-term there can be no better source of sensible ideas. A very impressive effort.
