Perspectives on International Oceanographic Research

In November 2002, the Department of State and the Oceans Studies Board of the National Academy of Sciences hosted a roundtable entitled Perspectives on International Oceanographic Research. The roundtable was an informal gathering of experts with an interest in international policies and practices affecting marine science research.  Two primary purposes of the roundtable were: 1) To identify areas of concern among the marine science community and determine the most appropriate venue for addressing those concerns; and 2) T o increase awareness within the international policy development process of relevant ocean research efforts.
