When people 

 Are the point 



At Sea Grant, we can tell you 

 most of what we're up to in just 

 one word: People. It is our belief 

 that all the painstaking research 

 in the world goes for naught 

 unless people benefit. Sea Grant 

 takes some of the best science our 

 universities can offer and puts it 

 to work out there on the dock, in 

 the marketplace, in society. 



This month, we thought we'd 

 introduce two of the people who 

 help make sure marine science is 

 more than just words on a 

 chalkboard or chapters in a text- 

 book. As Jim Murray, director of 

 Sea Grant's Marine Advisory Ser- 

 vices, puts it: "These agents and 

 specialists work with the public, 

 and that means they can keep the 

 university in touch with what the 

 research needs are out there along 

 the coast. It's a two-way flow." 



We've singled out two of 

 Murray's team — Lundie Spence 

 and Bob Hines — only to give you a 

 closer look at what the workdays 

 of a specialist and an agent are 

 like. We hope you get a chance to 

 meet the rest of the team, too — 

 they're all top-notch. If you want 

 their help, give them a call. They'd 

 like to hear from you.
