For thousands of years, mankind has simultaneously trusted in the sea's proverbial generosity, and used it as a dumping ground, trusting that in its vastness his garbage will be swallowed up and forgotten. But that was never really true. And now, in an age when the overcrowded Earth swarms with hungry inhabitants whose waste chokes even the sea, whose greedy demands overtax its seemingly endless bounty, strange things are born in the ocean's deeps - strange things that the ocean throws back upon the land.
It is truly said that there are more things under heaven and earth than there are almost anywhere else; and true as well that many of them lurk, unsuspected, far below the surface of the ocean. Mankind has always thrown his garbage into the sea, trusting that in its vastness his waste and refuse will be swallowed up and forgotten. It was never really true. And when the discards of a crowded Earth include mutagenic solvents and pollutants, strange things can happen in the deeps--strange things the ocean throws back upon the land.
