In 1957, with volume three, it became known as Sea Frontiers: Bulletin of the InternationalOceanographic Foundation. The companion publication, Sea Secrets, began then too with volume one. This contained questions about the seas sent in by members of the Organization and answered by knowledgeable experts from the Marine Laboratory, University of Miami as the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science was then known.
