Description:The two years covered by this report (1979-1981) have provided cause for an anniversary celebration, for excitement about scientific breakthroughs,and for concern about Sea Grant's future. We celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Texas A&M Sea Grant College Program on September 17, 1981. Throughout this decade, we have focused on the goals implied by this Sea Grant College designation — encouraging the wise development, use, maintenance and conservation of our marine resources. Even with our successes — and we think they are substantial — we are concerned about the future of Sea Grant because the Reagan Administration, in the interest of reducing the budget, seems determined to eliminate the Federal support for Sea Grant. For those of us familiar with the economic importance of the oceans and Sea Grant's growing contribution to this part of the economy, it's hard to understand the Administration's failure to distinguish between short term budget savings and the long-term economic and social consequences of killing the program. Fortunately, Congress, which established the National Sea Grant Program in 1966, has not agreed with the Administration, and, through Congress' intervention, we hope that the federal government will continue its partnership role of supporting the program.
