Manpower Currently Available 



In 1963 and in 1967 the National Science Foundation supported sur- 

 veys of personnel engaged in oceanographic activities. The results, reported 

 by work specialty and by employer, are presented in Table XI. 2. The data 

 indicate a doubling of the total number of specialists in the field during the 

 four years although this difference is probably due to broader coverage of 

 engineers in the second survey. The survey also indicates that only about 60 

 percent of the specialists in the field in 1963 remained in the field, which 

 further emphasizes the large recent influx of new participants.
