The United States programme for the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE) will end as scheduled in 1980. Plans are now underway to design the ocean research programme that will follow the IDOE. The goal will be to identify promising directions for marine research, their potential contributions to national ocean interests over the next five to ten years, and the management approach most appropriate for carrying out these programmes.
