Abstract
Because of the many problems facing developing countries, funds are not available for sophisticated or even what might be termed desirable solutions. The current world-wide recession/ depression has aggravated these difficulties. In addition, the burden of heavy increases in energy costs has emphasized the need for solutions that do not require a large energy input. Thus we must, in a sense, go back to nature and develop systems which fully utilize the natural assimilating capacity of the total environment, including the open ocean waters.
