Multilateral aid arrangements in the marine field are limited to 

 date and, like our bilateral programs, have emphasized development 

 of coastal facilities. The world banking consortiums and the United 

 Nations development program have supported some projects. 

 UNESCO and the Food and Agriculture Organization have provided 

 fellowships and other devices for study and training by foreign 

 marine scientists and technicians in many countries. 



The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has 

 become increasingly interested in raising the capabilities of the less 

 developed countries in the marine sciences. Also, NATO has estab- 

 lished a strong oceanographic capability at the research center in Italy 

 and has an annual exercise in environmental prediction.
