V-212 



As will be noted, organizations (Group I, above) and governments 

 (Group IV) were most strongly represented in statements, with users 

 (Group III) and academic people (Group II) speaking in lesser numbers. 

 However, governments, organizations, and industry were well represented 

 in terms of total attendance. 



After organizing the statements by type of speaker, it was then nec- 

 essary to determine subject areas for the information and recommend- 

 ations presented in the various statements. These subject categories 

 were established as a series of eight questions, as follow: 



(1) What are the major uses and values of the estuaries and 

 estuarine zones? 



(2) What are the dangers and problems in the estuaries and 

 estuarine zones? 



(3) What have been the results of pollution, modification, 

 and use in the estuaries and estuarine zones? 



(4) What needs to be done to restore, preserve, and protect 

 the estuaries? 



(5) What types of research and study are needed, and how 

 should this research be done? 



(6) What type of organization is needed to best protect, 

 control, and manage the estuaries? 



(7) What should be the role of the State and local govern- 

 ments in management of the estuaries? 



(3) What should be the role of the Federal Government in 

 management of the estuaries?
