Trauthwein, Associate Publisher & Editor Email: trauthwein@marinelink.com Having been a b2b publications editor for more than two decades, I must admit that I am a notorious phone and email screener, as the volume of incoming inquiries across our family of maritime and subsea titles is inundation, to put it mildly. There are a limited number of people that I will literally stop immediately to Þ eld, with Rick Cole of RDSEA International, Inc. of St. Pete Beach, Fla., on that list. Why? I know that when Rick calls he has a great story to tell; a great story backed with solid prose and images that translate favorably into our media products, print and electronic.This monthÕs cover story is courtesy of one of those calls, and Rick, along with Leonardo Barreira and Edmo Campos, convey the story surrounding the deploy- ment of BrazilÕs Þ rst internally integrated buoy and mooring system, Atlas-B. This serves as a perfect centerpiece for our ÒOcean ObservationÓ coverage, and starts on page 46. We are also pleased to present a glimpse into the future of ROV design and operation courtesy of the MATE 2013 International Underwater ROV Compe- tition. Our West Coast contributing editor Kathleen Gleaves did an exquisite job digging into the competition, recording the triumphs and disappointments, includ-ing the dismantling (and subsequent damage) of the Egyptian teamÕs vehicle at a security check point in Scotland. I know that many of you are already supporting initiatives designed to attract young minds to a life of science and engineering, and I hope that reading her coverage, starting on page 66, will have you feeling that the future is in good hands.(Photo: Rick Cole, RDSEA) Download our AppiPhone & AndroidSeptember 20138 MTRMTR #7 (1-17).indd 8MTR #7 (1-17).indd 88/27/2013 3:28:41 PM8/27/2013 3:28:41 PM
