Contributing in the 21st Century
A revolution in the ocean sciences has begun, with the application of the modern tools of biotechnology, molecular and cellular biology to marlne organlsms and ecosystems. The change is expected to be fundamental in nature, exponential in pace and unprecedented in its scientific and economic impact. . . within a decade, quantum leaps will have been made, not just in the amount of knowledge, but in the types of insights into the fundamental and longstanding problems of ocean sciences . . .
