Council and as the Governor's designee as 

 North Carolina's contact with the National 

 Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 

 for coastal zone management. 



An economist, Hammond was deputy 

 secretary of the N. C. Department of Ad- 

 ministration under Governor Robert W. 

 Scott. He was a chief architect of plans for 

 the Council on State Goals and Policy and he 

 chaired a state government effort to develop 

 a system of multi-county planning regions. 

 Hammond also served as chief coordinator 

 of the State Marine Resources Development 

 Programs. 



Prior to working in state government, 

 Hammond was an associate professor of 

 economics at NCSU. He earned degrees in 

 agricultural economics at Clemson Univer- 

 sity and the University of Tennessee and in 

 economics at N. C. State University. 



Dr. Brown 



East Carolina University's director 

 of Institutional Development, Dr. 

 C. Q. Brown, has been selected to co- 

 ordinate Sea Grant's legal and socio- 

 economic studies for the coming two 

 years. 



Proposed research for 1975-76 in- 

 cludes studies to learn more about 

 legal, social and economic pressures 

 confronting coastal residents and 

 communities. 



Brown is one of the founders and 

 was the first chairman of the ECU Department of Geology. 

 As such, he was an early leader in promoting coastal re- 

 search. In establishing ECU's geology department, he 

 stressed faculty involvement in coastal geology. 



As director of Institutional Development, Brown is 

 responsible for seven offices offering campus-wide services. 



Dr. Langfelder 



North Carolina's coast is a 

 complex area, characterized 

 by constant, and rapid, 

 change. Sea Grant has pro- 

 posed research to learn more 

 about our coast, with the aim 

 of providing insight into 

 pressing problems. 

 Dr. L. Jay Langfelder, director of the Center for 

 Marine and Coastal Studies at N. C. State Univer- 

 sity, will guide Sea Grant's coastal zone studies for 

 1975-76. His involvement in marine affairs 

 through university and public service places him in 

 a unique position to spot problem areas and direct 

 research to seek solutions. 



A professor of civil engineering at NCSU, Lang- 

 felder serves on some 10 committees which deal 

 directly with marine and coastal matters. He 

 serves as a member of the University of North 

 Carolina Marine Science Council, the administra- 

 tive committee for the N. C. Marine Resources 

 Center, the technical committee of the state's 

 Water Resources Research Institute and the tech- 

 nical advisory committee for the joint state-federal 

 marine resource planning committee. 



The author of articles on coastal erosion, Lang- 

 felder was educated at the Universities of Florida 

 and Illinois. 



Among them are the Office of Sponsored Pro- 

 grams, the Office of Institutional Research and the 

 Regional Development Institute. He has held his 

 present post since 1969. 



Brown earned B.S. and M.S. degrees at UNC- 

 Chapel Hill and a Ph.D. at Virginia Polytechnic 

 Institute. 



Dr. Copeland 



UNC Sea Grant Program Di- 

 rector Dr. B. J. Copeland will 

 temporarily serve as coordinator 

 of estuarine studies. A perma- 

 nent coordinator will be ap- 

 pointed to the position later this 

 year. 



Estuarine research, proposed 

 by UNC Sea Grant for 1975-76, 

 includes an inventory of water- 

 birds nesting on North Caro- 

 lina's dredge islands and an 

 evaluation of how changes on the 

 islands affect bird populations- 



Other proposed studies are aimed at determining 

 how much decaying marsh grasses are worth to 

 the nourishment of shrimp and other fishery 

 species. 



Copeland, a professor of zoology, botany and ma- 

 rine sciences at NCSU, had led estuarine studies in 

 connection with research relating to the effects of 

 nuclear power plant construction in coastal areas. 

 He became Program director in 1973. 



Before coming to N. C. State in 1970, Copeland 

 was a visiting associate professor at UNC-Chapel 

 Hill and at the UNC Institute of Marine Sciences. 

 Prior to that, he was associated with the University 

 of Texas Marine Science Institute at Port Aransas. 

 Copeland was educated at Oklahoma State Univer- 

 sity.
