Future Directions for Marine Research: Insights and Goals Beyond 2010

This document outlines the agenda for the Science Council regarding future marine research initiatives post-2010. With contributions from esteemed scientists around the globe, including Barb Block, Antje Boetius, and Enric Sala, the agenda focuses on reviewing the achievements of the first Census of Marine Life (CoML) and identifying the tools, technologies, and habitats needing further study. Key topics include addressing gaps in baseline information, articulating societal needs, and drafting a comprehensive science plan that emphasizes the urgency of new marine programs.

  2. Science Council Agenda 1. Individual Visions for Beyond 2010 3. Review of CoML “Assets”: What has the first Census of Marine Life accomplished? • Tools & Technologies – What do we have to build on in a new program? (Goal: Draft a list of potential tools & technologies to be integrated into a new program scope) • Habitats Covered – Which should be covered more thoroughly or what gaps should be addressed? (Goal: Draft a list of tentative areas in the ocean to study as part of the new program) • Baseline Information – What new questions are there to answer, gaps to fill, societal needs to address? (Goal: Articulate what unique opportunity has been provided to the scientific community by the first Census) 4. Outline Science Plan • Mission Statement: The need for the new program (Why now? Why us?) • Science Goals: What are the new questions to answer and how will we do it? • Organizational Structure: Preliminary thoughts on how to manage the program
