garding resource location and measurement, ocean-climate change and 
the effect of the latter on availability of resources. 
e. The industry desires that better provision be made for dissemi- 
nation of ocean science and technology findings to those that can use 
it, particularly to the fishermen. 
Maritime 
a. The panel considered the following in its study : coastal transport, 
ocean towage, ship and platform design, and salvage operations. 
b. A recent report assessing the financial size of the industry shows 
an annual income of almost $2.5 billion for marine engineering (in- 
cluding shore protection, construction, harbor and channel construc- 
tion maintenance, shipbuilding, and salvage). It also shows a rate of 
over $11 billion for transportation (including freight and passenger 
revenues and past income). In addition the industry is responsible 
for secondary outlays in the order of $8 billion. Hence, the total 
amount generated by the industry is about $22 billion a year. 
c. The vital items of interest to the industry are related to its 
sociological aspects; i.e., its economics and labor relations. 
d. Many areas of the industry are so busy trying to stay alive that 
little thought has been directed to oceanographic activities to be under- 
taken by the Government. 
e. The industry is only now beginning to discover new uses for the 
technological base available to it and is making a start at substituting 
rational for traditional practices.
