Resumen

In common with the other survey sciences, hydrography stands in the middle of a rapidly evolving technology. While great strides are being made in the development of sophisticated hardware and associated interfaces, can the same be said for the progress of users and interpreters of equipment and data ? This paper discusses the evolution of the hydrographer as a professional and raises some concerns about his present and future role. It questions whether the hydrographic community is responding as readily to the development o f its personnel as it is to the development of automated data acquisition and data processing systems.
