Sloan Foundation, started conversing on an initiative to document the biodiversity of the oceans. That program, the Census of Marine Life, started in 2000 with the goal “to advance a major new international observational program to be completed by 2010 to assess and explain the diversity, distribution, and abundance of marine life.” That program lead to the support of several field projects and expeditions (currently over 15), the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), several initiatives focused on specific environments (abyssal plains, vents, seeps, seamounts, corals, continental margins, etc.), conferences, taxonomic workshops, and much more. Publications from CoML just from 2005-2008 number over 500. In 2010, a plethora of papers (species descriptions, synthesis papers, reviews, primary research) will hit journals including PLoS One Marine and Aquatic Sciences.

Great start! And great job, McClain. Looks like you've put together a smart team. My colleagues and I look forward to submitting to PLoS One's MASS. PLoS certainly takes a modern approach. Just preparing the manuscript was already a major departure from stuffy old publishing guidelines. The online format certainly opens up doors in terms of what could be done. Whale sharks?

Thank for tall the work on this Dr. M. I'm surprised that the genetic variation is so low, though I am not surprised that there is no real geographic population difference what with some of the earlier tagging studies, and the citizen science photo-ID work showing multi-ocean basin migrations.
