SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information collection.
Telepresence uses satellite communication from ship to shore to
bring the unknown ocean to the screens of scientists and the general
public 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.
II. Method of Collection
This will be a web-based survey.
