The Marine Technology Society and the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society sponsor OCEANS, a prestigious conference and exhibition that draws an international audience of more than 2,000 attendees.

The MTS/IEEE OCEANS'16 Conference was recently held in April 2016 in Shanghai, China.

Due to technical issues over the weekend that prevented the online submission of abstracts to our technical progam, we are extending the submission deadline until Wednesday, May 11, 2016. We are writing to you in our capacity as Technical Program Chairmen for the MTS/IEEE OCEANS'16 Conference, to be held in Monterey, California, 19-23 September 2016. OCEANS'16 will be a tremendous opportunity to focus on topics of interest to you in all fields of Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering. We are trying to develop a Technical Program that will appeal to the significant interests.
