Abstract

The paper which follows was written by a member of staff of the UK Hydrographic Office following a request by the President of the Directing Committee to the UK Hydrographer. While the International Hydrographic Review contains many papers dealing with specific and detailed aspects of the world of Hydrography and associated areas, few papers attempt to cover the broader canvas. It was felt that as we approach the millennium, this would be an appropriate time to set out the continuing rationale for the distinctive work of National Hydrographic Offices as well as their developing relationships with other interested groups, not the least being publishers of commercial chart products.
