Agency Profiles 



Information on the estuarine-related programs and responsibilities 

 received from the Federal agencies participating in the study, and 

 from the coastal State governments have been summarized in the form 

 of profiles which were used in the preparation of the chapters in part 

 V dealing with the roles of the Federal and States agencies. These 

 profiles have been retained in manuscript copy for reference but not 

 for distribution. 



Contract Reports 



During the course of the study, some 22 contracts, including reim- 

 bursable agreements, were awarded to other Federal agencies, aca- 

 demic institutions, investigatory organizations, and individuals to 

 develop documents surveying a particular phase of the total scope of 

 the study. All of the contracts were designed to result in reports, re- 

 tained in manuscript copy, for analysis and use in preparing the chap- 

 ters, primarily in part IV, of the report. These documents, because 

 they are in manuscript copy and represent selected, isolated phases of 

 the total scope of the study, have not been released or prepared for 

 distribution by the study. However, press releases and information 

 sheets on these contracts have been prepared and distributed. The
