Selected papers presented at the symposium will be published in a special issue of the Marine Technology Society's journal. The forum will facilitate interdisciplinary interaction among scientists and includes public outreach through lectures, a documentary film series, teacher workshops, student learning activities, radio interviews, video Podcast production, and a day dedicated to immersing the public in the adventure of science.
