 specialized manpower needed to meet national marine objectives, 

 with due prudence to avoid an excess supply of manpower in fields 

 presently, or potentially containing adequate supply.

During its relatively short lifetime. Sea Grant has grown from a 

 program of $5.0 million in FY 1968 to $23.5 million in FY 1976 (see table 

 B-1). Over 2.500 professionals and graduate students from more than 150 

 institutions are engaged in about 700 different projects, while more than 

 5,800 students are enrolled in Sea Grant programs, and about 200 com- 

 panies are affiliated with Sea Grant. Twelve institutions have thus far 

 earned the designation "Sea Grant College."
