The preceding review points out the progress that is being made in studies at Andhra University. It reveals that the secrets of the sea are many and varied. It is probably apparent from these studies that an interrelation exists between the various fields of oceanography. For example, it is not possible to discuss plankton population or beach erosion without reference to currents and waves. All are interrelated. Consequently, the solution of the many unsolved problems must be a cooperating-team approach, whereby experts in one field work jointly with experts in another. This has been accomplished at Andhra University, as evidenced by the progress made on the many problems. This summary also points out how interesting and thought-provoking the problems of the sea can be. The Bay of Bengal is literally a gold mine of intriguing problems for an unlimited number of future students in oceanography.
