Commenting on his new role, Richard said to be honoured to be the new Chairman of AMSI. AMSI has grown from an initial idea by several of the UK marine science SMEs to a strong, Government -recognised trade association. He continues: ‘This would not have happened without Paul's vision and determination. I am extremely grateful to him for steering the AMSI to this strong, stable position from which we can grow and meet future challenges.' Following an election within the membership of SMI four new members joined the AMSI Council:
They join Cliff Funnell (Cliff Funnell & Associates), Bob Moss (UKHO), Ralph Rayner (GEMS Survey) and Terry Sloane (Planet Ocean) who remain on the Council.
Reflecting on the enlarged AMSI Council, Mr Burt added 'With more than 40 companies within SMI having an interest in the marine science market I look forward to working with the new Council to ensure that the sector is well represented in all areas of marine science and technology. The UK is undergoing major changes in marine science policy with the recent Select Committee report on Investigating the Oceans, the UK Marine Monitoring Assessment Strategy and the forthcoming Marine Bill which all present significant opportunities for our members."

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
