First University of The Sea "?1 W ? I " I (Br BIB Sharp.) The nation's first "University of tta Sea," serving both " ists and wind-burned > erman, may materialise at ? City, N. C., if plans now being laid eome to fruition. The Sea University would involve the Department of Con servation and Development, the Uni versity of North Carolina, State Col lege, and the Geneial Education Board, and would be, according to academic authorities, "unique" in America. It would establish facilities and staff for research of the marine re sources of the North Carolina sea board, a marine museum, and voca tional training for commercial fisher men. Property at tta former Navy Section base at Morehsad City, in cluding 27 buildings termed "ideal" for such an enterprise, already has been acquired by the Department of Conservation and Developmei Ac tual operation of the laboratories and school is anticipated in 1847. Last week at Chapel Hill, eminent leaders in the field of marine biology and botany and oceanography, opined that the area selected for operation of the "university" could not be sur passed in natural advantage. They were assembled there to dis cuss progress on a survey which is now being made of marine resources of North Carolina, eventually to be published sa an 800-page report with a complete hydro graphic map, per haps the most exhaustive study ever made of an American state's com mercial fisheries resources. Included h? the conference were Dr. R. E. Coker, head of zoology, University of North Carolina; Dr. Harden P. Taylor, New York, former president of Atlantic Coast Fisheries and now with the General Education Board; Dr. Rex S. Wins low, director, bureau of business Service and re search, University of North Carolina. Doing the actual surveying are Dr. Nelson Marshall, University of North Carolina, oceanography; Dr. Martin Burkenroad, of Yale; Dr. Harold Humm, Duke; Dr. John Pearson, United States Fisheries Laboratory; Miss Franceses La Monte, New York, associate curator, American Museum of Natural History, all biological; Dr. C. A. Kirkpatrick, Josiah Bailey, Jr., and Joseph P. Sawyer, all of University of North Carolina, con tributing economic and legal advice. Present also were R. Bruce Etheridge, director, North Carolina Department of Conservation and De velopment; Josh L. Home, chalrmap, Conservation and Delevopment Board; and Roy Hampton, Plymouth, chair man of the board's committee on Commercial Fisheries. While the recent meeting ostensi bly was concerned with the survey now under way, discussion largely was of the proposed research center at Morehead City. Fisheries experts long have contended 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' loca tions for marine research. The school and laboratories will be within 30 miles of the Gulf Stream, and the temperature Is about halfway be tween that of the arctic and the jit is contended that the fish merely the surface, and tint The value of fisheries products was *14, 287,080 in the bienaium 1944-46. Tot many yean, Roy Hampton of Plymouth, whose family has been in the commercial fishing industry for many yean, has advocated a scienti fic examination and development of marine resources, and his recommen dations led to the acquisition by the State of the abandoned Naval Base at Morehead Oty. The University of North Carolina has tentatively agreed to man the research end of ithe proposed center, offering post graduate work in marine biology and botany. North Carolina State Col lege will establish a marine voca tional scool at the center, teaching fishermen everything from naviga tion and net making to rapMr of dieeel engines and the building of boats, as well as fireesin&, packaging and marketing of marine products. It was pointed out at the Chapel Hill meeting that the marine center will be favorably located, not only geographically, but also academical ly. The United States Fisheries Lab oratory is only a few miles away at Fiver's Island, with valuable facili ties for study, and Duke University has a summer school at the same place, where botany and biology stud I ies are carried 'on. It was at this station that Dr. Harold Humm of Duke and his associates carried on successful studies of algea (seaweed) which led to establishment of com mercial use of this marine resource, j Dr. Herbert Prytherch at the United States Fisheries is recognised as one of the world's foremost authorities on shellfish. Woman's College, University of] North Carolina, also maintains a marine supmer school near Beaufort, and it is anticipated that this group, as well as the others mentioned, will use the facilities of the new Center. Cropping up in the meeting of ex perts were interesting insinuations that the Capes of North Carolina might be near a great marine life producing area. Near here, within the lUO-fathom curve, may lie the answer to many marine questions, and the new University of the Sea is expected to attract scores of erai j nent scientists seeking these answers.
