The marine environment is challenging for traditional engineering materials due to the corrosion of metals or the bio-deterioration of natural materials. Consequently, the use of fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites in the seas and oceans has grown in diversity of components, the size of structures and production numbers. Composites consistently demonstrate good performance, with many technologies and developments only realized because of their use. This chapter introduces the book, signposts to the topics covered, and briefly considers some of the recent innovations not otherwise included in the text.
