Comment : This program is focused on technical training activities and 

 helping the developing countries to enhance their marine science capa- 

 bilities. Much of the work is undertaken regionally. It Appears that 

 IOC activities in this area are not well advanced. The UNfcSCO regional 

 offices are apparently active in this area, and maintain Ijiaison with 

 the UNESCO Division of Marine Sciences. This program could be espe- 

 cially strengthened in Latin America and the Caribbean, pne option is 

 to make a grant of $175,000 to the IOC Trust Fund and a ddnation or 

 contribution for the Division's activities of $100,000. Additional 

 resources could be made available through UNDP. Also, supiport is 

 suggested for a TEMA (Training, Education, and Mutual Assistance) 

 management mechanism in the United States to promote techtjiical assis- 

 tance through, for example, the Agency for International l})evelopment .
