This is rather obvious if not outright tautological. What else could we POSSIBLY do? Try to communicate with life forms we can't contact? Investigation of globally invisible, planet-bound life forms will necessarily have to wait until we have the ability to visit. That's a long way off, and people interested in that sort of thing should get into dolphin research (which will probably come in handy once time comes).
