The University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), an association of 17 academic institutions, 

 was established in 1971 by the National Science Foundation as a coordinating and planning mechanism for 

 oceanographic facilities operated by those institutions. Thirty-one other academic institutions participate in 

 UNOLS as associate members. The UNOLS office is the focal point for planning, coordinating, and reporting of all 

 UNOLS activities and is supported by six Federal agencies. It provides administrative staff services, and prepares 

 and disseminates ship schedules, user requirements, analyses of annual ship use, committee reports, new marine 

 regulations, and other related information.
