Trauthwein, Associate Publisher & Editor of Marine Technology Reporter. Email: [email protected] For an industry that is as global and technically advanced as the subsea industry (case-in-point, kindly turn to page 8 of this edition and read about efforts underway to develop a system to explore the oceans under heavy ice cover ... on EUROPA, a satellite of the planet Jupiter sitting about 390.4 million miles from earth) it is at the same time downright quaint, relatively speaking a ?small town? of personnel, companies, organizations and educational institutions that know each other or at one point or another have worked together. One of my favorite (and one of the newest) features in MTR is the ?First Per- son,? a feature section devoted to individuals in this  eld that have a unique story to tell; to be honest, I have yet to run into an individual in this  eld that doesn?t have a unique story to tell.This month we are thrilled to bring you a story from the crew at CR Environmen- tal - Chip Ryther, Eli Perrone and Chris Wright - regarding the back story to the planning, construction and delivery of the 55-ft. lobster boat Jamie Hanna. A lobster boat in MTR, you ask? Read the story, starting on page 44, which describes how CR Environmental has a long and mutually bene cial working relationship, a relation- ship that began in 2000 when CR Environmental received a Fisherman Industry Grand from NOAA to train  shermen and to out t their vessels for oceanographic survey work. A good story that speaks to the core of collaboration and ef cient use of resources, I think you will agree.(As a side, if you have an idea for a feature in this slot based on your own experi- ence, I would love to hear it via email). On the other side of the spectrum, we are pleased to offer a feature from another trio of authors, led by Philip A. McGillivary , U.S. Coast Guard PACAREA, regard- ing the ?Networking of Maritime Fleets of Autonomous Systems for Science & Sur- veillance,? speci cally the bene ts and challenges of the task to further develop the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). This story starts on page 32. Credit: U.S. Navy photo by Chief Photographer?s Mate Andrew McKaskle October 20126 MTRMTR #8 (1-17).indd 6MTR #8 (1-17).indd 610/4/2012 10:29:03 AM10/4/2012 10:29:03 AM
