Sea Grant's job is to help people get the most 

 use out of their coastal resources without endan- 

 gering those resources. Every *>year, scientists, 

 lawyers, economists and other researchers at the 

 campuses of the University of North Carolina take 

 a look at coastal research and advisory needs. 



Proposals are made to meet those needs. After 

 careful review, both by state agencies and the 

 Office of Sea Grant in Washington, the University 

 of North Carolina Sea Grant College Program 

 draws up a plan of research, education and ad- 

 visory services for the coming year. 



So, here's our plan for 1977. Come January, 

 researchers will take on erosion, milfoil, beach 

 access and much, much more. It's an exciting year 

 for us because the program, now in its seventh 

 year of federal-state support, is expanding. Then, 

 too, much of the research of the past year or two 

 is wrapping up enabling us to head off in some 

 new directions.
