From BRIAN BAYNE
Neil Harris highlights the relative shortage of skilled physical oceanographers.
To this I would add a shortage of graduates in molecular biology willing
to apply their skills to environmental problems. These problems are often
essentially biological in nature and we urgently need to apply modern biological
procedures in addressing them. The techniques are available, as are the
graduates with the appropriate expertise. We need these young scientists
to become involved with the challenges posed by the aquatic environment.
