Many islands have abundant seawater pumped storage resources.
According to the analysis of Hainan, et al. seawater pumped storage resources, these three coastal provinces have 81 sites that are suited for the construction of a seawater pumped storage system, 30 of which are islands [13].
In particular, marine macroalgal biomass is a promising feedstock for transportation biofuels because of (the) its fast growth and its potential cultivation on seawater, avoiding competition of resources with conventional agriculture of terrestrial plants used for food.

We sought to examine the response of Symbiodinium population densities to the seasonal dynamics of solar insolation (a resource) and seawater temperature.
Along with the development of the low cost, next generation high throughput sequencing techniques, the Earth Microbiome Project has been launched in 2011, aiming to reveal the gigantic, unexplored microbial genetic resource in soil, seawater, freshwater, the atmosphere, and other environments on our planet.
Due to the limited fresh water resources in the world, seawater desalination is an important technology.
Given increasing regional water scarcity and that almost half of the world's population lives within 100 km of an ocean, seawater represents a virtually infinite water resource.
