Description:At this Committee's first meeting, the members unanimously agreed that no decision regarding an Institute of Oceanography could be reached without a broad understanding of Texas involvement in marine-related affairs. Our hearings were aimed at providing spokesmen from all areas of marine related economy, from coastal towns and cities, and from academic institutions an opportunity to communicate their thoughts and desires. The results were impressive. We found that Texas already has a critical economic dependency on the world oceans and, more specifically, on the Gulf of Mexico. But we also learned that proper preparation for the future could bring Texas far larger benefits from ocean and coastal development. The statements of individual members on marine-related affairs in Texas are contained within this report. Topics covered in this document are: The Economic Impact of Marine Activities on Texas; The Chronology of the Committee; The Findings of the Lemmon Committee (Coastal Development, Scientific Research, Education, Government); The Texas Council on Marine-Related Affairs; Testimony presented before the Committee. This report was submitted To The Honorable Gus F. Mutscher, Speaker The Texas House of Representativesand the Members of The 62nd Legislature of the State of Texas.
