Remember SeaQuest DSV? How the opening intro called the oceans the next most unexplored region after outer space? It's very correct - by comparison, we have only visited maybe 10% of the ocean floors - there is so much out there we don't know about - the deepest trenches have yet to be fully mapped and explored.
Someday, who knows? Folk might be living under the water - laboratories that are undersea already exist in places like the Gulf of Mexico.
But, as always, mankind has abused it to to end - fisheries are in trouble, large sea mammals are endangered, etc. We have a lot of work to do as the oceans aren't as reusable as everyone once thought. Case in point - lobsters used to be caught at 2-3 feet in length and the oceans were so full of fish that the scouring which occurs now was unnecessary.
