Why Is Athelstan Spilhaus Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Athelstan Frederick Spilhaus was a South African-Americann geophysicist and oceanographer. Among other accomplishments, Spilhaus is credited with proposing the establishment of Sea Grant Colleges at a meeting of the American Fisheries Society in 1963 as a parallel to the successful land-grant university system, which he claimed was "one of the best investments this nation ever made. The same kind of imagination and foresight should be applied to the exploration of the sea."
