The University of North Carolina Sea 

 Grant College Program is a federal/state 

 program that promotes the wise use of 

 our coastal and marine resources 

 through research, extension and educa- 

 tion. It joined the National Sea Grant 

 College Network in 1970 as an institu- 

 tional program. Six years later, it was 

 designated a Sea Grant College. Today, 

 UNC Sea Grant supports several 

 research projects, a 12-member exten- 

 sion program and three communicators. 

 B.J. Copeland is director. The program 

 is funded by the U.S. Department of 

 Commerce's National Oceanic and 

 Atmospheric Administration and the 

 state through the University of North 

 Carolina.
