Marine Advisory Service — To organize an integrated program of 

 marine advisory and extension services so that scientific and 

 technical research results may be transferred to ultimate users as 

 rapidly as possible; to provide a feedback mechanism through which 

 the real concerns and problems of marine users may be 

 communicated most expeditiously to the research community. 



During its short lifetime, Sea Grant has grown from a program of 

 $5.0 million in FY '68 to $19.5 million in FY '73. Some 1790 scientists 

 and engineers from more than 100 institutions have engaged in about 

 600 different projects, while 1,670 students are enrolled in its 

 programs, and 100 companies are affiliated with it. Six institutions 

 have thus far earned the designation of "Sea Grant College".
