Description:As we look back at the 1979 research, education, and advisory activities of the UMe/UNH Cooperative Institutional Sea Grant Program, we find ourselves reviewing more than just another program year. We stand at the close of a decade-a very significant decade for man's developing relationship with the sea. The Fisheries Conservation and Management Act; the discovery of self-contained undersea ecosystems at the rifts between continental plates; the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea; a new surge of offshore oil and gas exploration; the Coastal Zone Management Act; and during those years there was a dramatic resurgence of interest among the people of New England in the value of the ocean's resources. The 1970s were studded with historic events whose effects on the ocean domain promise to be felt well into the 21st century. Finally, the close of the 1970s marks the coming of age of the UMe/UNH program. On January 1, 1980, it was officially raised to the status of Sea Grant College Program, the fourteenth in the nation.
