Science Council Agenda1. Individual Visions for Beyond 20103. Review of CoML “Assets”: What has the first Census of Marine Life

accomplished? – Tools & Technologies – What do we have to build on in a new program? (Goal: Draft a

list of potential tools & technologies to be integrated into a new program scope)– Habitats Covered – Which should be covered more thoroughly or what gaps should be

addressed? (Goal: Draft a list of tentative areas in the ocean to study as part of the new program)

– Baseline Information – What new questions are there to answer, gaps to fill, societal needs to address? (Goal: Articulate what unique opportunity has been provided to the scientific community by the first Census)

4. Outline Science Plan – Mission Statement: The need for the new program (Why now? Why us?)– Science Goals: What are the new questions to answer and how will we do it? – Organizational Structure: Preliminary thoughts on how to manage the program
