Abstract
Strategic ocean planning has become a familiar feature on the global policy landscape, but scientific collaboration on deepwater research continues to lag, especially at the North American level. Hannigan claims that there is an unfulfilled potential for scientific collaboration on oceans. He discusses the potential for, and barriers to, continental collaboration on deepwater research across Canada, Mexico, and the USA; identifying differences on scientific research for ocean management and planning. Afterward, he points at some successful transnational projects happening in European deep-sea research; thus providing a template for expanding scientific collaboration on deepwater research in North America. Lastly, he identifies the direction that scientific exploration of the ocean has been taking and how this might influence the nature of scientific collaboration.
