This book explains how PICES nourished the initial spark to emerge as a recognized world leader in marine science today. It builds on The Journey to PICES, also by Sara Tjossem, which described PICES’ start-up phase and its early years. This story will be especially valuable to students of intergovernmental organizations. Progress in PICES required meaningful intergovernmental collaboration during a time of rapid technological and scientific change. PICES is made up of six member governments—each with a stake in the North Pacific Ocean and the shared international waters in-between. While scientific advancement through the period covered by this book has confirmed the interconnectedness of the world’s oceans, full scientific understanding of the North Pacific Ocean far exceeds the financial or scientific ability of any one government. Governments must collaborate to advance, working through or setting asid
