Man live in two worlds – the biosphere and the techno sphere world- over the years, time needs, growth, speed, and knowledge and of course scarcity and competition have created demand that necessitated man to build complex institution. Ship design is not left out in this process. Inland water, are under treat from untreated waste that can feed bacteria and algae, which in turn exhaust the oxygen, the ocean cover 70 percent of the globe, many think that everything that run into it is infinite, the ocean is providing us source of freshening winds and current are far more vulnerable to polluting activities that have run off into them too many poisons that the ocean may cease to serve more purpose if care is not taking to prevent pollution- This issue of environment become so sensitive in recently with respect to infrastructure development and most especially in maritime industry because most of the past polluting activities from oil bilge to ballast pumping that has turned into poison have presently had encounter and advert effect on our water, some have choke too many estuarine water where fish spawn.
In a nutshell, the two worlds we live are currently are out of balance and in potential conflict , man and water is in the middle. Historical records of number of calamity that has resulted to heavy lost and pollution has call for environmentally . many have long live with taught that the ocean is an endless sink, but the issue of sea rise and ozone layer depletion has proven that it is not - ecosystem is actually real. More to our dismay , we do most of our activities on land which actually cover a little percentage of the planet - this litle is continuously being eroded.
Whatever we do in one part of the planet could one way or the other come back us as everything is actually linked , the linkage itseft is a sign of unity , infinite one , that we are all one.Initially and naturally,despite all forces of restriction ,it was the ocean of water that linked man together , then the linked the ocean of information technology , and now it is the ocean of environment - the creation of environment is mightier than the creation of man .And time is calling for us to rethink and choose new strategies and what we should be doing . Human civilization still stand like illuson and tend to confirm the french adage that " Quand il change , ca ne change pas" and are we going to lear that it is only when we stop killing ourselve, kiling the enviroenement taht civilization is complete .Despite the blessing that we remain the most organize, superpower and inteligent creature on this planet, despite all what we have built and and advancemenet wehave made through age , it is very sad , to see war , poverty in the world .Victor Hugo , has long reminded us that everytime we fight war everyone become a casuality - did we ever think where the toxic componenents of arsenic we drop at one place of the earth will end up - obviously thought the gound back to our rivers and the ocean and atmosphere we all share.Poverty another abstract war has been an infinite artificial war created by human , the creature never interfere with what we do , and he made everything abunjdance , all what he ask for is to maintain balance -The million dollar question to all of us now is having realise the fact of globalization enviorement , one land one people , do we have choice , but to accept the fact and make the right choice to weight things and mainatain balance?
