There are currently 85 Federally-operated 

 marine science laboratories distributed along our 

 coasts and Great Lakes. Their distribution by 

 agency and State is shown in Table 7. In addition 

 to this in-house research effort, Federal agencies 

 contract for research from industry and academic 



institutions, principally the latter. As an example 

 of the wide-spread activity, during the period from 

 1963 through 1967 the National Science Founda- 

 tion provided marine science support to 82 dif- 

 ferent institutions in 38 States.
