Marine Science Affairs 



Federal programs specifically directed at the development of non-living 

 resources from the marine environment include the marine minerals pro- 

 grams of the Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines, marine water 

 resource studies of the Geological Survey and the Office of Saline Water, 

 and the resource management functions of the Bureau of Land Manage- 

 ment with technical assistance from the Geological Survey.^ As shown in 

 Figure VII-2 these programs amount to $8.6 million requested for FY 

 1970, compared with $8.0 million appropriated for FY 1969. Programs of 

 other Federal agencies, particularly the mapping programs of ESSA and 

 Navy, also contribute to location and identification of shelf resources.
