in their homes, schools or offices. With technology constantly evolving 
it is important to address the needs of the shore-based scientists and 
public to maintain a high level of participation. We will use voluntary 
surveys to identify the needs of users of data, best approaches to 
leverage expertise of shore based participants and to create a 
``Citizen Science'' web portal for meaningful public engagement focused 
on ocean exploration.
