How Geography Finds a Place in Marine Science and Technology The oceans and seas have been the inspiration first for geographical exploration, from the days of Christopher Columbus onwards; and then for scientific exploration, especially since the famous oceanographic voyages of HMSChallenger in the 1870s.

Although by the mid 1990s there were still some nations which had not signed up to the convention, the extension of coastal state jurisdiction over continental shelves and exclusive economic zones out to 200 nautical miles gave many states a strong measure of control and responsibility for over 40 percent of the ocean.
