Summary of Discussion 



Dr. Johnson inquired whether marine geology was to be included 

 within the Hawaii project. Dr. Hiatt replied that there was no 

 submarine geologist at Honolulu at the present time, but that it was 

 hoped to provide facilities in the programme for geology as soon as 

 sufficient interest developed. In answer to a quer}^ about wave recording, 

 it was stated that tide measurements were to be made, but that there 

 was no particular work about to be commenced on waves. 



REVIEW OF CANADIAN PACIFIC OCEANOGRAPHY SINCE 1938 



By John P. Tully, Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo 



Introduction 



Until 1943 oceanography on the Pacific Coast was sponsored by the 

 Fisheries Research Board, and was directed entirely to fisheries objec- 

 tives. From then until 1947 the facilities were diverted to naval purposes 

 under the direction of the National Research Council. In 1946 the Joint 

 Committee on Oceanography was formed by pooling the requirements 

 and allotments of the Fisheries, Navy, and National Research Council 

 in this field of research. Atlantic and Pacific Oceanographic Groups are 

 established with headquarters at the respective biological stations, and 

 vessels manned and operated by the Navy. Technical assistance and 

 equipment is provided by the National Research Council. This inter- 

 departmental co-operation has greatly increased the horizon and 

 capabilities of Canadian oceanographic research.
