Abstract
Ocean research entails a certain amount of risk. Even if Moby Dick and Mother Nature don't get you, it is almost inevitable that an oceanographic instrument will be lost at some point.

It's on the Internet, of course, and comprises two lists called the Lost Instrument Network and the List of Lost Instruments. But, according to its creators, the lost‐and‐found won't work unless everyone who is involved with oceanographic instrumentation participates.
