Abstract

The origins of this chapter lie with the 28th International Geographical Congress in Den Haag in 1996. The Congress was remarkable for its emphasis on the sea, not least because of the location in Den Haag, and the strong and well known maritime tradition of the Dutch hosts. The sea ranked equal with the land and human effort in the Congress title — some 31 Programme items were directly concerned with aspects of marine geography, physical or human. And yet, even although seven-tenths of the Earth’s surface consists of oceans and seas, marine geography is a comparatively new specialism within geography.
