Summary of Immediate Heeds 



In the tables that follow, the responses from 

 12 oceanographic institutions and laboratories are 

 sunaiiarized. We have identified immediate (1-5 year) 

 needs as coiapared v;ith requirements for a second 5-year 

 interval. Only tv;o laboratories (Texas A & M and 

 Oregon State College) have comparatively modest require- 

 ments for the first 5-year interval as compared v/ith the 

 second 5-year interval. However, in both cases their 

 short term requirements are critical. Only one laboratory 

 (the Bingham Oceanographic Laboratory) did not make a 

 specific, urgent appeal for funds for new construction or 

 renovation and remodeling of existing buildings. 



Only one laboratory (Tlie University of Iliami 

 Marine Laboratory) felt that with the additional facilities 

 requested during the first 5-year interval, they would 

 be able to develop to a size and capability commensurate 

 wi-ch their future interest and needs. 



Within the next five years, approximately $13.8 

 million is needed for new laboratory space, $0.5 million 

 to remoiel and renovate existing buildings, $6 million for 

 nev7 port facilities, $1 million for special aquaria, radio- 

 logical laboratories, seawater systems, etc. and $1.5 

 million for library facilities for the 12 institutions 

 queried. 



The survey did not include the shore facilities needs 

 of the Llavy, the 6CF, the C&GS, other Federal agencies, 

 or state fishery laboratories. Less than half of the 

 laboratories operated by universities and foundations are 

 included o Although most of the non-Federal leiboratories 

 not included in the survey are srriall, some of them should 

 ex^pand several fold to meet national needs. Assuming 

 an average of $300,000 needed for shore facilities by 

 each of 20 laboratories adds $6 million to the amount 

 needed for the next five years for a total of about 

 $29 million.
