Throughout our history, only 1% of the oceans has been explored by man. In fact, more men went to the moon in the Mariana Trench, which lies just 11km below the sea level in the Pacific Ocean. This makes the seabed a mysterious world, often a source of inspiration for adventure novels such as "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". The reality is that our scientific understanding of the underwater world is still deeply flawed. By way of illustration, it is estimated that for a marine species known, four are still unknown!

If the new President Obama is undertaking this task at the outset of its mandate and adopt a balanced position with the Arabs, including Palestinians, on the one hand, and the Israelis on the other, it lays down the principles on which we agreed at Camp David as a starting point and the solution that has emerged since then, two states as a goal, then peace is possible.
