Kingston, Rhode Island
October 27, 2010 to October 29, 2010
Purpose of Meeting
The goal of the meeting is to document what could be learned by focusing the ocean observing assets of the world on observing marine organisms for a single day, particularly what could be learned from quieting the ocean for a period of a few hours to one day.
