NASA but Not NOAA. Funding for Ocean Research in the 1990s. Annual Sea Grant Lecture (17th). Held in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 30, 1989

摘要

For the past 16 years, the MIT Sea Grant lecture has been a forum for discussion of some of the most pressing topics in marine science. This year the Sea Grant tradition was continued as a particularly pressing topic was addressed--rising public expectations concerning environmental protection and ocean research, but a drought in public funding for research in either field. The report is an abridged version of Senator Lowell Weicker's speech 'NASA But Not NOAA,' the 17th Annual Sea Grant Lecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on October 30, 1989.
