Written in a popular style, rather than academic or

scientific, it makes the following positive argument:

* Future prosperity on a global scale will require

large increases in basic food production, especially

high quality protein.

* Measured in millions of square miles, the world’s

shallow water tropical fisheries are the only natural

resources left capable of supporting such large

increases.

* The present methods of hunting and catching fish

will have to be replaced with cultivation.

* This cultivation will require placing structures on

the sea floor.

* The best place in the world to begin this process

is on the La Parguera shelf off the south coast of

Puerto Rico. Yes, it is the reason I wrote this letter

and an easy argument to make. Check it out.

* The La Parguera shoreline and the La Jas valley

just inland are best place in America to conduct solar

thermal research. It is not just latitude, latitude,

latitude; it’s the rain shadow from mountains to the

east that gives the whole area a very high number of

bright sunny days every year.

* Combining both new technologies would greatly

increase the efficiency of both.

* A successful venture on the shelf would spread

rapidly.

* The new technologies will require increased

production in related industries.
