There are many conferences, workshops and meetings annually around
the world, each emphasizing a specialty area for scientific
exploration and research. Yet in very few instances, if at all, do
the multidisciplinary aspects of science get presented so one may
see the diversity of dependencies these seemingly disparate
disciplines actually have. The Explorers Club and the U. S.
National Park Service collaborated to make a first attempt at what
will continue to be an "ocean pulse'" effort; conferences combining
the aquaculture sciences; the search for underwater antiquities and
the marinelbio-technologies utilized to explore these areas. The
purpose has been to bring together not just academicians to talk
about their finding in the field or the laboratory, but to provide
a forum for the practical applications of "technology" to expanding
our worlds fisheries as well as to continue to explore our world's
oceans; the earth's truly last frontier. After everything is said
and done, we still know precious little about our ocean
environments. Their influences on our lives are monumental and yet
we continue to be very parochial and conservative in our dedication
to exploring their depths and resources. We feel confident that
this initial effort by our respective groups to awaken a
realization in the public and private sectors of the need for a
cross-disciplinary approach to scientific research in the marine
environment, is a necessity as we approach the 21 st century. Kevin
