The nation’s first “University
of the Sea’’, serving both marine
scientists and wind-burned com
mercial fishermen, may material
ize at Morehead city, if plans
now being laid come to fruition.
The Sea university would in
volve the Department of Conser
vation and Development, the Uni
versity of North Carolina, State
college, and the General Educa
tion board and would be accord
ing to academic authorities
“unique” in America.
It would establish facilities and
staff for research of the marine
resources of the North Carolina
seaboard, a marine museum and
vocational training for commer
cial fishermen. Property at the
former Navy Section base at
Morehead city, including 27 build
ings termed “ideal” for such an
enterprise,a Iready has been ac
quired by the Department of Con
servation and Development. Ac
tual operation of the laboratories
and school is anticipated in 1947.
Last week at Chapel Hill emi
nent leaders in the field of ma
rine biology and botany and
oceanography from UNC, Yale,
New York and Duke opined that
the area selected for operation of
the “university” could not be sur
passed in natural advantages.
While the recent meeting osten
sibly was concerned wtih the sur
vey now under way, discussion
largely was of the proposed re
search center at Morehead city.
Fisheries experts long have con
tended that the North Carolina
coast, with its open seas, inlets,
bays, river mouths, and both
fresh and salty sounds, provided
the most complex fishing grounds
on the Atlantic seaboard, and
consequently, the most varied
and fruitful locations for ma
rine research.
The school and laboratories will
be within 30 miles of the Gulf
stream, and the mean tempera
ture isa bout halfway between
that of the arctic and the tropics.
It is contended that the fisheries
industry now existing on this
coast is perhaps merely scratch
ing the surface, and that proper
research and training can greatly
expand its economic importance.
The value of marine fisheries
products was $14,287,030.00 in the
biennium 1944-46.
The University of North Caro
lina has tentatively agreed to man
the research end of the proposed
center, offering post-graduate
work in marine biology and bot
any North Carolina State college
will establish a marine vocational
school at the center, teaching fish
ermen everything from naviga
tion and net making to repair of
diesel engines and the building of
boats, as well as freezing, pack
aging and marketing of marine

The marine center will be fav
orably located, not only geo
graphically, but also academi
cally. The United States Fisher
ies laboratory is only a few miles
away at Fiver’s island, and Duke
university has a summer school
at the same place, where botahy
and biology studies are carried
on. It was at this station that Dr.
Harold Humm of Duke and tiis
associates carried on successful
studies of algea (seaweed) which
led to establishment of commer
cial use of this marine resource.
Cropping up in the meeting of
experts were interesting insinu
ations that the capes of North
Carolina might be near a great
marine life producing area. Near
here, within the 100-fathom
curve, may lie the answer to
many marine questions, and the
University of the Sea is expected
to attract scores of scientists
seeking these answers.
It kills seven times as many
unskilled workers as professional
people, three times as many skill
ed workers as professional men
and women.
