Abstract

Whilst analysing population growth and its profile changes, migration flows and climate changes, and considering the pressure they present to the Planet, we anticipate a new “Lebensraum” (vital space) centred on the Oceans. If such projections are confirmed, it’s very likely the biggest and most unexplored part of our Planet (about 74%), the Ocean, will be subject to a renewed interest, once it’s susceptible of providing for a significant part of the future human subsistence requirements. Being the case, countries with a significant maritime strand, like Portugal, will be placed before new opportunities and threats that it’s urgent to anticipate.
