de Investigacion y Estudlos Avanzados (CIEA), all of which are in- 

 volved in various aspects of ocean engineering. 



The Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey 

 (ITESM) includes the Escuela Superior de Ciencias Maritimas y Tech- 

 ologia de Alimentos (ESCMTA). The Universidad Automona de Baja 

 California (UABC) includes the Instituto de Investigaciones Oceano- 

 logicas (IIO). 



The Universidad de Nayarit (UNINAY) has the Escuela Superior de 

 Oceanografia (ESO). 



Many departments of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico 

 (UNAM) are involved in marine science affairs. In 1973 UNAM created 

 the Centro de Ciencias del Mar y Limnologia (CCML) to coordinate mar- 

 ine science programs. Together with CIEA and ESIME, UNAM established 

 the Servicio Nacional de Instrumentacion Oceanograf ica (SNIO), which 

 UNAM administers. 



638. MOROCCO 



The Institute of Marine Fisheries serves as the national ocean- 

 ographic data center. The Service des Phares et Balises (SPE) is 

 responsible for hydrographic and related oceanographic surveys. An 

 Office National des Peches (ONP) was established in 1969 to develop 

 and modernize Morocco's fisheries. 



639. MOZAMBIQUE 



The Empresa Nacional de Comercializacao de Produtos Pesquieros 

 (PESCOM) was established in 1977 to market Mozambique's fishery pro- 

 ducts. 



640. NETHERLANDS 



The Nederlands Centrum voor Oceanograf Ische Gegevens (NCOG), 

 its national oceanographic data center, is a part of the Nederlands 

 Commissie voor Zee-onderzoek (NCZO) in the Koninklijke Nederlandse 

 Akademie van Wetenschappen (KNAW). NCZO also coordinates marine sci- 

 ence activities in the Netherlands and acts as an advisory body to 

 the government. 



An Interdepartmental Commission for Oceanography, whose initials 

 are ICVO, establishes policy decisions at the national and interna- 

 tional level, and the Netherlands Industrial Council for Oceanology, 

 whose initials are IRO, coordinates governmental and industrial 

 interests. 



Government agencies with marine science responsibilities include 

 the Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut (KNMI) responsi- 

 ble for marine meteorological activities. KNMI's activities are 

 worldwide, but particularly include the coastal area of Netherlands. 

 It operates a warning service to notify the population when storm 

 surges pose a danger. It participates with WMO in its program of 

 marine climatological summaries, and its areas of responsibility 

 are the Mediterranean Sea and the southern Indian Ocean. 



Other Government agencies of interest are the Rijks Instituut 

 voor Visserijonderzoek (RIVO), the Rijks Geologische Dienst (RGD), 

 the Dienst Hydrografie der Koninklijke Marine (KMDH) and the 

 Rijkswaterstaat (RW). 



The Instituut voor Visserijprodukten (IVP), Nederlands Instituut 

 voor Onderzoek der Zee (NIOZ), and the Vening Meinesz Laboratorium 

 der Ri jksuniversiteit Utrech (VML) , are nongovernmental agencies of 

 interest.
