It is hardly conceivable that the economic waste represented
by the neglect of the marine forests and gardens will be
much longer continued. The only vegetation that exists upon
two-thirds of the superficial area of the earth is seaweed.
This vegetation ought to contribute to the support of the
population of the land surface of the globe to such an extent
that the question of food supply--the nightmare of scientific
inquirers into the probable future of civilization and of the
human race--need worry no one. (Text.)--_The Technical World
