• Description:
  We are only now beginning to understand how unique and different from each other the oceans are. Over a hundred years of oceanographic research has revealed that they play a critical role in regulating earth's weather and climate, house extraordinarily diverse forms of life, and significantly influence the creation and ever-changing appearance of our coastlines. However, we are still paddling at the surface of this immense resource. It is a powerful reality that knowledge of the oceans, their resources and their relationship to human activities is vital to our society's—and our world's—existence.
