Abstract
When I began writing this book during a sabbatical at the Institute for Marine and Coastal Sciences some six years ago, I planned this final chapter as a catalogue of open problems, a metaphorical application of lance-to-shield to challenge the knights of applied mathematics to come forth and joust with the mysteries. Now, this seems presumptuous.
