摘要

Once, at a sea level conference, I met a dentist from a small Caribbean island State. In his retirement he was representing his country as a diplomat and politician at the United Nations. He explained that his dental experience had ideally qualified him for his new role: all his life he had been paid for causing people pain. Few scientists and I suspect even fewer politicians would admit, so openly, their power to have an impact on other people's lives, not would either group easily acknowledge the unwritten alliance through which these impacts may occur. Yet there are close links between Government policies and scientific possibilities. As scientists we make different futures possible. Governments help to make selected futures happen. In marine science we may advise on ocean management possibilities, and governments may choose to take that advice. Or they may not, choosing in the face of uncertainty to do something different, or nothing at all. This symbiosis between governments and science is often taken for granted on both sides, without closer examination of the mutual expectations. These expectations are often very different, and it may be useful to look briefly at what both sides expect from the contract.
