If you consider that almost 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, you can
imagine the range of career opportunities available in the marine environment. It not
only includes the transportation of goods and people around the world, military
defence, shipbuilding and ship repair and equipment manufacturers, it also includes
the exploration and production of oil and gas and other minerals, and the
environmental issues relating to all the above. Therefore it is not surprising that the
marine environment covers a vast number of different industries that form a huge
and highly important sector.
