  abstract = {{T}he ocean covers 70% of the surface of our planet, it plays a major role in regulating the {E}arth’s climate and is home to a multitude of species, many of which we have yet to discover. {T}he ocean is crucial for the functioning of life on {E}arth. {W}ith global change, many issues have emerged, and the consequences of these in the future concern us all. {T}his book improves our understanding of what the ocean is, in all its breadth, depth and complexity, from both the biological and physical perspectives, including interactions and dynamics. {M}any innovative tools, infrastructures and approaches are developed to explore the ocean, and to obtain the data and information that are essential to expanding our knowledge. {H}istory tells us much about the evolution of the techniques and representations connecting human communities to the oceans, and the diverse ways in which we use them. {W}hether we approach it in terms of its resources, its services or its territorial stakes, the ocean is not only essential, but also vulnerable. {T}o manage the many risks associated with our seas, from submersion to pollution, we need to plan ahead in the face of increasing human activities. {T}he ocean is often thought of as infinite and unlimited. {I}t is seen by some as a common good, by others as a key element of geostrategic issues. {T}his book raises the question of its future. {C}ollating 135 articles and drawing on the contributions of 160 researchers and specialists, this book is a reference work. {I}t explores the issues pertaining to the ocean today, in tune with the {UN} {S}ustainable {D}evelopment {G}oals, and with a view to understanding and proposing solutions.},
