Research and education 



The area around Narragansett Bay is the base for considerable 

 research and education in the marine sciences. These are primarily 

 State and Federal programs even though some education and research 

 activity take place in marine-oriented commercial firms. The invest- 

 ment in and expenditure for marine-oriented educational activities 

 in the bay area is steadily expanding. On a dollar ranking basis, the 

 Navy is first with various programs at the University of Rhode Island 

 closely following. For research the same situation exists insofar as 

 growth and dollar ranking. Table IV.3.15 gives a summary of 

 estimated expenditures on research and education.
