We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Drs. Terry Whitledge of The University of Texas 
Marine Science Institute and Sammy Ray of Texas A&M University at Galveston, who had principal 
responsibility for assembling the speakers and whose familiarity with the bay area and its people 
were invaluable. The seminar was coordinated in Washington, D.C.,by Catherine L. Mills, Estuarine 
Programs Office Regional Coordinator, with the help of other members of the EPO staff. We would 
also like to express our appreciation to the administrators and information staff of the Texas A&M 
University Sea Grant College Program, who produced both the Executive Summary and this final
