Description:In September, 1971, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce announced the designation of the University of Rhode Island (URI) as one of the first four Sea Grant colleges in the nation. The designation was the culmination of a relationship between Sea Grant and URI that dates back to 1965, when URI co-sponsored the first Sea Grant national conference in Newport. Senator Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island was the co-sponsor of the Sea Grant College Act, creating the program in 1966, and URI was among the first three universities to receive institutional support from Sea Grant in 1968. With this annual report, and with others to follow, we hope to keep the reader informed of progress in the URI Sea Grant Program. It is worth noting, however, that most research, education, and public service achievements do not fit neatly into one-year time capsules. That is particularly true of a Sea Grant College Program that is apt to attack problems that do not yield immediate solutions. Thus, not all of our efforts are reported here, and the choice of which achievements to include in a particular annual report is, to some extent, arbitrary. Therefore, rather than considering this report as a complete summation of one year's work, consider it a report of work in progress. This report has topics on Coastal Resources, Food and Drugs from the Sea, Fishing and Farming the Sea, Formal Education Programs, Advisory Services and Law of the Sea.
