SeaWiFS, launched on August 1, 1997 has provided us with the first, multi-year record of our changing planet as reflected in the life that inhabits this place that we call home. Through these observations, we can look at the Earth in a more complete, holistic way and begin to unravel the mystery of how all the living systems on the Earth interconnect. There is no question that the Earth is changing. SeaWiFS has enabled us for the first time to monitor the biological consequences of that change - to see how the things we do, and how natural variability, affect the Earth's ability to support life.
