interdisciplinary graduate study at MIT during the spring of 1970 and 
was carried out under the sponsorship of the MIT Sea Grant project 
office. 
The project was very inexpensive; we owe a debt of gratitude to 
those who made it possible: the Senate Interior Committee, its pro- 
fessional staff, particularly Mr. Daniel Dreyfus, and its chairman, 
Senator Henry M. Jackson of Washington, and the Environmental 
Policy Division of the Congressional Research Service of the Library 
of Congress and its assistant chief, Mr. Wallace Bowman, for their | 
freely extended cooperation and advice. 
We should also like to thank those faculty and students who partici- 
pated in the project in addition to those whose names appear in the 
excerpted articles appearing within. The faculty members include: 
From MIT, Professors J. Clarkeson, J. Devanney III, M. Driscoll,

Boston University, Prof: W. Ryckman; from Woods Hole Oceano-
