Cornell cooperates with the State University System in the Sea 

 Grant Program and operates the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) in coop- 

 eration with SUNY, and the Sea Education Association (SEA) in cooper- 

 ation with the University of New Hampshire and SUNY. 



443. NORTH CAROLINA 



The Department of Natural Resources and Community Development 

 (DNRCD) and its Office of Fish and Wildlife are concerned with the 

 State's marine areas. The North Carolina Office of Coastal Management 

 (NCOCM) is responsible for developing and managing the coastal zone in 

 accordance with the 1972 Federal act and the North Carolina Coastal 

 Area Management Act of 1974 (CAMA). A Coastal Resources Commission 

 (CRC) provides advisory services. 



The University of North Carolina (UNC) and the North Carolina State 

 University (NCSU) cooperate in marine science programs including the 

 Sea Grant Program. They support a Marine Research Center (MRC) at 

 three sites along North Carolina's coast. NCSU includes a Center for 

 Marine and Coastal Studies (CMCS). East Carolina University (ECU), 

 also State supported, sponsors the Institute for Coastal and Marine 

 Resources (ICMR). Duke University, a private institution, includes 

 the Duke University Marine Laboratory (DUML). In 1972 North Carolin- 

 ians organized the Sound and Sea Fisherman's Association (SSFA) to 

 restore commercial fishing. 



444. OHIO 



Ohio's Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its Division 

 of Fisheries and Wildlife are concerned with coastal areas. The State 

 University (OSU) has a Center for Lake Erie Area Research (CLEAR). 



445. OREGON 



The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Oregon 

 Fish Commission (OFC) are State agencies involved in marine activi- 

 ties. Advisory groups include the Oregon Estuarine Research Council 

 (OERC) and the Oregon Coastal Conservation and Development Commission 

 (ORCDC). 



The Oregon State University (ORESU) has an active marine research 

 program largely vested in the School of Oceanography. It is also a 

 participant in the Sea Grant Program (ORESG). ORESU participates in 

 the Coastal Upwelling Ecosystem Analysis project (CUEA) of the Inter- 

 national Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE); sponsors its own Upwel- 

 ling Project (UP) of continuing studies of upwelling along the Oregon 

 coast; made a winter-spring (WISP) study of the transition of oceano- 

 graphic conditions from winter to spring off the Oregon coast in 

 1975; and in cooperation with Canadian organizations performed a 

 Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE) that measured the temperature micro- 

 structure in the North Pacific at Ocean Station 'P' in 1977. 



446. PENNSYLVANIA 



The department of Environmental Research (DER) and the Penn- 

 sylvania Fish Commission (PFC) are concerned with marine science 

 research and protection of Pennsylvania's marine environment. The 

 Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) was created to 

 advise on the development of the State's coastal zone along the 

 Delaware River. 



In 1968, Lehigh University (LU), an independent institution, 

 established a Center for Marine and Environmental Studies (CMES) 

 to serve as an interdepartmental research organization to promote 

 research in marine science, ocean engineering, and environmental
