Description:The evaluation, development, utilization and conservation of our Nation's ocean and coastal resources is a major theme of the National Sea Grant College Program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The need for such programs will be even greater in the future with President Reagan's recent declaration of a U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone -- an action that added almost 4 billion acres of marine territory to the United States. To better use and conserve this 200-mile wide zone will require the varied skills of academia, government and industry--a combination that has existed within Sea Grant since its inception. The coming years will be an especially important period for the U.S. marine effort and the Woods Hole Sea Grant Program is anticipating playing an important role in it. Our Sea Grant Program draws strongly on the strengths of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), which is a private, non-profit institution dedicated to broad research and educational programs in many aspects of marine science, policy and technology. Some of our projects have addressed immediate problems of the coastal zone, such as the research on tidal inlets and sediment transport by Dr. David Aubrey. His work will contribute to our ability to manage the many navigational channels and inlets of the U.S. coast as well as the beaches and waterfront areas subject to erosion and storm attack. Some of our research looks at issues of even more distant significance. An example is a study of the legal and economic consequences of our Nation's exploitation of recently discovered deep sea polymetallic sulfide minerals, conducted by Dr. James Broadus.
