Defense for bases or restricted firing or test ranges, 

 and about .06 per cent of the Continental Shelf is 

 restricted to naval firing, explosives dumpling, 

 submarine transit lanes, or other military use.'"* 



As a policy matter, the Secretary of the Navy 

 has required that maximum effort be made to 

 incorporate environmental pollution preventive 

 measures in ships and bases. To this end, he has 

 instructed the Navy to cooperate fuDy with the 

 Federal Water Pollution Control Administration 

 and the Department of Health, Education and 

 Welfare to comply with published standards and 

 criteria relating to pollution abatement by Federal 

 activities and the directives of Executive Order 

 11288 for the prevention, control, and abatement 

 of water pollution by Federal activities. 



Naval activities have provided extensive infor- 

 mation concerning nearshore waters, particularly 

 the Continental Shelf, via mapping, charting, 

 magnetic and gravity surveys, and "man-in-the- 

 sea," "sea lab," and deep submergence rescue 

 programs. 



Within the Navy the functions of marine 

 science and development are directed by the 

 Oceanographer of the Navy, under whom the 

 principal agency is the Naval Oceanographic Of- 

 fice. In this activity, the basic coastal undertaking 

 is the Nearshore Environmental Prediction System 

 Project to predict unknown nearshore ocean- 

 ographic conditions such as bottom materials by 

 inference from known environmental conditions. 



Naval engineering and technological activities 

 are more thoroughly described in the Marine 

 Engineering and Technology Report.^ ' 



The Office of Naval Research supports pro- 

 grams at universities and independent and some 

 industrial laboratories. Approximately 40 per cent 

 of all basic marine science is supported by the 

 Navy. Projects in the coastal zone include sedi- 

 mentation, seismology sound propagation, waves, 

 coastal currents, topography, submarine canyons 

 and other coastal features, and other studies.

This figure is obtained by measuring on 1,100 and 

 1,200 series USC&GS charts "prohibited" and "re- 

 stricted" areas and submarine transit lanes inside the 

 100-fathom depth contour. Alaska and the Great Lakes 

 are not included.
