Globalization is possible only because of the unfettered sea lanes over which the vast majority of goods and resources move around the world.
Projected climate trends in coming decades will have profound effects on polar bear populations by decreasing the availability of suitable denning sites as well as eliminating much of the polar sea ice over which this specialized ursid forages for its seal prey.
Not only is China blocking what most believe to be international waterways, but at least a portion of the area makes up what Vietnam believes to be its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), a sea zone over which Vietnam has special economic rights regarding exploration and use of marine resources.

In MRSA, sea encodes SEA, which is a major virulence factor of S. aureus [ 12].
It is fashionable among some composers to generate in the orchestra a neutral sea of sonic gesso over which float patches of "parlando recitative" (a sort of elevated, sing-songy dialogue that constantly reaches toward, but never achieves, actual melodic interest) that do nothing to differentiate the characters.

For the tFISH algorithm, the area over which the initial sea-surface displacement is estimated (the "influence area", hereafter) is defined as the area surrounded by the back-propagated wavefronts from each of the offshore tsunami stations that is based on the full propagation (Tsushima et al., 2009).
The Kremlin's foreign ministry said that the government is attempting to claim 1.2million square km (over 463,000 miles) of Arctic sea shelf which stretches over 350 nautical miles (650km) from the shore.
