The sea
Science-fiction writer Jules Verne in his epic work “20,000 Leagues under the sea” focused on the untapped vastness of the two-third area of the mother earth comprising the sea, while the rest one-third being the land on which the possibility of changes of lifestyle and living could be achieved in the future.
In the mid 1960s, the Balaka cinema hall in Dhaka ran this movie for a golden jubilee period. Then and now the citizens around the world are coping with communication by sea, fishing in sea, cruising on sea, holidaying in nearby seashores, scuba diving across the seabed, eating a variety of seafoods etc. Starting from the early 1960s with the Chinese restaurant Choh Chin Chow owned by F. A. Dossani at the once Gulistan building at the then Jinnah Avenue, Dhaka, we can now find the presence of a Chinese restaurant up to the upazila level, serving the same dishes. In brief, the citizens of Bangladesh are also getting accustomed to living with the sea, consuming and utilising its healthy and useful resources.
From time to time, France had been carrying out nuclear detonations in the Oceania but the adverse affect on humanity, creatures in the sea and cracked ocean floor have put an end to it. In general, the ordinary world citizens are day by day coming closer to the sea and learning to utilise its resources but the national leaders, scientific advisers and environmental experts collectively are trailing behind with their contributions for the utilisation of the sea and its resources.
