(Resolution submitted by the French Delegation) 



The Commission . 



Noting the present shortage of experts in the marine 



which may well delay their development for many years, although 



Welcomin g the considerable financial effort already made by 

 UNESCO and planned for future years to further the advancement 

 of these sciences, but 



Convinced that an effort by the various countries is also 

 required to ensure their full development, and 



Repeating the invitation set forth in paragraph 5 of the 

 recommendation concerning the training programme submitted by 

 the Intergovernmental Conference on Oceanographic Research 

 held in Copenhagen, 



Recommends that UNESCO be invited without delay to address an 

 urgent appeal to governments for the creation by them, within 

 the specialized organs, of permanent posts and assured careers 

 for the many young scientists and technicians who are attracted 

 by the marine sciences.
