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.
