An Ocean Current

The Ocean is a big place, and impacts our lives from how we get all the stuff we use (90 percent of the things you use spent some time on a container ship), to the air we breathe.

The Oceans Conference was just like the Ocean - big and complex, with a convergence of brilliant minds from many areas.

We've collected what feel like just a few drops of the information that we have gleaned from the 13 participating societies, 635 abstracts, 46 topics, 8 special topics, 35 countries, 95 student posters, 451 papers, 30 regular posters and 21 special sessions that happened.

Check back here for stories that carry us across the currents from San Diego to Canada, the site of the next Oceans Conference, and out into our Blue Planet.

If you have great photos and stories you know the world should see - please submit them here at my Twitter account:
