Abstract: Telepresence uses satellite communication from the ship to shore bring the unknown ocean to the screens of scientist and the general public in their homes, schools or offices in near real time. 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 hope to 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.
