Imagine an Aquatic America this 4th of July

To my fellow Americans, Happy 4th of July, if it can be. Among the myriad of social, economic, and political turmoil we’re presently blessed with I want to draw particular attention to a new ideological battleground – where environmentalists are saving environmentalists from their attempt to save the environment. Every movement – be it towards independence, social justice issues, religious

Manned habitation of the seafloor is a critical component for the future of ocean exploration, advancing science, and for the survival of our species. Early projects in the 1960’s and 1970’s set the stage for early saturation technologies and techniques, however funding ‘dried up’ upon several complications being realized. Here, we have compiled a number of resources noting the history of seafloor habitation, and several groups lobbying to jumpstart a new ‘life in the sea’

A Perspective on the Future

Why do we believe that manned habitation of the seafloor is necessary? Well, there are several complex answers. First is that from a working (scientific, commercial, military) perspective, there will forever be tasks that are more readily achieved using humans than robotics. In some cases, humans working alongside robotics in niche environments will be the necessary tool. Given the amount of effort required to place humans in ever-more challenging undersea environments, it only makes sense to keep them there for awhile. For humans to efficiently work underwater for extended time periods, saturation diving is the vehicle of choice.

Second, as Earth’s population continues to grow almost exponentially, our species will place increasing demands on the ocean…for food, shelter, and security; all fundamental human needs. With the vast majority of living space on this planet being in the ocean, we will eventually have to consider evolution of a seafaring society. In this case, the concept of ‘colonization’ rather than simply ‘habitation’ presents a whole new area to be considered. Perhaps the true ‘Atlantis’ has yet to be realized.
