The ocean science community is reuniting two of its organizations in hopes that one voice will speak louder to Congress and the White House. The Consortium for Ocean Research and Education (CORE)--a 13-year-old advocate for ocean research, education, and policy--and the 31-member Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOI)--manager of large-scale research programs such as ocean drilling--had separated in 2000 at a time of expanding support for ocean research. But now, many of those projects are being squeezed by soaring oil prices.

The merged organization will provide "a united voice for the community," says JOI board chair Marcia McNutt of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, California. Steven Bohlen now runs JOI, and retired Admiral Richard West heads up CORE.
