Overall comment on X.5 ; The objective of this program is to promote 

 effective management of coastal and island zones and to aid in resource 

 preservation. Most of the activities are a part of the MAB program; 

 the remainder are conducted by the Division of Marine Sciences. Activ- 

 ities include pilot projects, training and workshops. There is sub- 

 stantial involvement by UNEP, FAO, and WHO as well as SCOR and lABO. 

 Program support (project plus staff) of about $300,000 is suggested as 

 a contribution to UNESCO (Punds-in-Trust, donations) and by an appro- 

 priate national focus: USMAB - $100,000 and NSF/PIPICO - $100,000 for a 

 total support package of $500,000.
