NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC COLLABORATIONS

Relationship between the National Geographic Society and Census of Marine Life began to solidify with an initial April 26, 2007 meeting with Terry Garcia, followed by presentation to the heads of most NGS editorial units on June 8, 2007. Numberous follow up meetings, telephone and email correspondence have further established a sound working relationship between the Census and NGS.

Mission Programs leadership and almost all editorial units throughout National Geographic
