A Presidential panel recently recommended a bold new strategy for national leadership in oceans exploration. The oceans cover over 70% of the globe, yet 95% remains unexplored and unknown. Rapid advances in technology now allow the discovery of what has remained hidden from view since the beginning of human existence--new resources and unknown life forms, and answers to how the living earth works. The panelists will present different perspectives on the scope of strategy and how best to implement it.
