As discussed in detail elsewhere in the reoort, thirty public 

 meetings were held throughout the country to learn what the pub- 

 lic desired for their estuaries. Each of these meetings contained 

 many statements of importance to the develooment of a research 

 and study program. The transcripts of these meetings were 

 analyzed in detail. The research and study needs so identified 

 have been incoroorated into this chapter of the reoort. 



In the course of the National Estuarine Pollution Study, many 

 special study contracts were let. Many of these requested a 

 discussion of the research and study needs in the snecific area 

 under consideration. Information so derived has been incorporated 

 into the preparation of this chapter.
