Description:In these pages we feature just a few of our recent and ongoing projects. You will read about robotic fish, ways of handling contaminated sediments, and novel systems allowing scientists from different disciplines to share critical data freely. You'll read about ways of helping fishermen cope with decreased stocks, about fish farming in Boston Harbor, and bold steps to stem marine bioinvasions. Each project description begins with a question because each initiative we fund is prompted initially by the need for answers. How can we address marine pollution? Can we design faster ships? What is the future of aquaculture? The projects are, as they unfold, the responses to those questions, the solutions to stated challenges. And while these pages are divided by headings of research, outreach, and education, the borders between these three arms are fluid: each depends upon the others. We have ample reason to celebrate the millennium unfolding before us. But we are wise to remember that 2000 years are but a tiny fraction when weighed against the hundreds of millions of years during which our oceans have brightened the earth. Our continuing goal is to learn more about the sea's mysteries, and with wisdom and foresight, to nurture the ocean's development and our own.
