Greg and list: The information below doesn't use either of the terms SRM or CDR. But I have known a former federal manager of OTEC for about 40 years (Dr. Bob Cohen). I have discussed with him several ways that CDR could be encouraged via OTEC. Anyone interested in making contact - drop me a line. Dr. Cohen is a valuable free (and passionate) resource on this topic.
