Living Resources Program 



The objective of the Living Resources Program is to provide a 

 scientific foundation for better management and use of the ocean's 

 biological resources. Research efforts will apply advanced methods 

 of the biological, chemical, and physical marine sciences. Projects 

 will identify the scientific and technical resources needed to com- 

 plete comprehensive ecosystem studies. 



The first major project to be initiated under the Living Resources 

 Program is an intensive study of coastal upwelling. This project, 

 the Coastal Upwelling Ecosystem Analysis (CUEA) project, is 

 designed to provide an understanding of the physical and biological 

 processes in coastal upwelling ecosystems, to allow for effective 

 forecasting of the onset, intensity, and extent of this phenomenon. 



More than 20 scientists from 12 United States institutions and 

 several foreign countries have been organized into a team that will 

 investigate selected upwelling systems off the west coasts of Africa, 

 Peru, and the United States in a 7- to 8 -year program. The focus 

 of the project will be intensive field experiments. Conceptual models 

 created by the physical and biological oceanographers will be veri- 

 fied and upgraded by shipboard experimentation and data acquisi- 



tion and analysis. Simulation of the overall ecosystem model will 

 provide the framework for the testing of individual hypothesis 

 and design of subsequent field experiments. 



Field experiments are planned for the United States west coast 

 in 1973, Northwest Africa in 1974-75, and Peru in 1976-77. Par- 

 ticipating U. S. institutions are: 



University of Connecticut 



Duke University 



Florida State University 



University of Miami 



National Center for Atmospheric Research 



Oregon State University 



Pacific Oceanographic Laboratory, NOAA 



Pennsylvania State University
