The National Register of Shellfish Growing 

 Areas will be expanded moderately though pilot 

 efforts with a limited number of State agencies. 

 This register describes the location of shellfish 

 available to commercial exploitation. 



Federal Water Pollution Control Administration 



FY 1965-$ 650,000* 

 FY 1966-$ 699,000* 

 FY 1967 -$1,470,000 



In FY 1967 the Federal Water Pollution Control 

 Administration will develop comprehensive pro- 

 grams for water pollution control in the Delaware 

 Estuarv, Chesapeake Bay, the Hudson Champlain- 

 metropolitan coastal area, along the Central Pacific 

 coastline, the coastal portions of the lower Nhs- 

 sissippi, the coastal portion of the Columbia 

 Ri\er basin and adjacent Pacific Northwest 

 waters, in the coastal waters of New England, and 

 the coastal portions of Puerto Rico and Florida. 

 These programs include studies on the effects of 

 waste disposal upon water quality in estuaries and 

 coastal areas. Water movements, marine biologv', 

 and water quality conditions also are investigated. 



Two new technical assistance investigations will 

 be initiated, one in the Charleston Harbor-Cooper 

 River area, the other in the Tampa Bay, Florida 

 area. The Charleston Harbor-Cooper Ri\er studv 

 will be concluded and an engineering analysis 

 and report prepared in FY 1967. It is a coop- 

 erative effort with the Army Corps of Engineers 

 to e\aluate the possible effects on water quality 

 that would result from the diversion of a por- 

 tion of the Cooper River from the harbor to 

 prevent excessive silting (also of concern to 

 United States Navv interests in the harbor). The 

 Tampa Bay project will determine the source and 

 effect of waste discharges on the Bay (with par- 

 ticular attention to Hillsboro Bay), and evaluate 

 hurricane protectixe barriers proposed bv the 

 Corps of Engineers for Hillsboro Bav. This work 

 will provide better water pollution control. The 

 operation will be incorjjorated into the Florida- 

 Puerto Rico Comprehensi\e Project in FY 1968. 



^Federal Water Pollution Control .Administration programs for FY 65 

 and FY 66 are presented separateh' from Ptiblic Health Service for 

 program comparison ptnposes. Hr)\\e\er. water ptjlliition control 

 acti\ities were removed froin the Ptiblic Health Service Decembei 31, 

 1965, and placed in this netvly established .Administration. The .Ad- 

 ministration's first separate budget was prepared for F^' 67. 



DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY 



Coast Guard 



FY 1965-$ 639,000 

 FY 1966-$1,073,000 

 FY 1967 -$1.383,000 



This funding encompasses the cost of EVER- 

 GREEN'S operation; the cost of the survev effort 

 which is additional to the primarx missions of the 

 supporting ships and aircraft; the operating cost 

 of the Coast Guard Oceanographic Unit which 

 processes, analyzes, and publishes the survey 

 data; and technical and scientific training costs. 

 0\er 85 percent of the Coast Guard survey effort 

 will be in support of Project SEAMAP. 



The icebreaker, NORTHWIND, will engage in 

 ocean survev work in the Arctic, while EAST- 

 WIND and WESTWIND perform survey work in 

 the Antarctic and in Baffin Bay on an opportunity 

 basis, as permitted by their icebreaking mission. 



EVERGREEN will conduct time series survevs 

 in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. S\noptic ocean- 

 ographic obser\ations will be conducted at the 

 foiu" Coast Guard-manned ocean stations in the 

 North Atlantic and the two in the North Pacific. 

 The Ocean Station Oceanography Program will 

 be expanded with inauguration of the seasonal 

 occupation of standard sections across the Gulf 

 Stream, Labrador Current, and California 

 Current. 



The Coast Ciuard expects to pro\ide ship sup- 

 port for the proposed EASTROPAC sur\ey. In 

 conjunction with the Cooperati\e Study of the 

 Kuroshio, Coast Guard ships will occupv seasonal 

 sections betxveen Ocean Station VICTOR and the 

 Japanese mainland. 



Continental Shelf 



Coast Guard offshore light stations and light- 

 ships will continue the collection of temperature, 

 salinitx, cinrent, tide, and wave data as part of 

 the interagencN' coastal siu-\ey network. 



Ships engaged in the Alaskan Patrol will make 

 regular surveys in cooperation with other agencies. 

 Coast Guard aircraft on the Atlantic, Gulf, and 

 Pacific coasts will continue monthly infrared 

 radiation thermometer sur\evs in cooperation 

 with the Bmeau of Sport Fisheries and Wild- 

 life, the Office of Naval Research, and private 

 laboratories.
