Description:During the past year the Sea Grant Program at Woods Hole has been represented at various national and regional levels. These included testimony to the Subcommittee on Oceanography of the U.S. House of Representatives on the establishment of an Office for International Marine Science Cooperation and the hosting or co-hosting of several important meetings. Among the latter were the 8th annual meeting of the Massachusetts Marine Educators, a meeting of the New England Marine Technology Society, and a conference on major coastal issues for Cape Cod and the Islands, co-sponsored by WHOI Sea Grant, WHOI's Coastal Research Center and the Cape Cod Coalition of Conservation Commissions. Involvement in such meetings aids us in maintaining interactions with state, county and local constituents, as well as environmental agencies, selectmen and natural resource personnel in the towns on Cape Cod and the Islands. Research during 1983-84 in the WHOI Sea Grant Program revolved around several themes including fisheries biology and management where studies on red tide in southern New England continued along with other projects involving the bay scallop and lipid staining in marine bivalves. An important segment of the Massachusetts coast is Buzzards Bay and we have been studying the physical transport processes which can affect the pollutant, PCB, in this area. The following pages describe some of the highlights of these research projects along with reports on other work. Although re search is the main objective of our Program, the transfer of general information and the results of our research is also an important part of our effort.
