Background Objectives Staffs Library Equipment Links Cooperation Contact Us Vessels Background The establishment of the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD) in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia as the Fourth Department of SEAFDEC was agreed upon at the Twenty-third SEAFDEC Council Meeting in December 1990 and it started its activities in 3 May 1992. One of research activities of this Department is fisheries oceanography studies. This activity is conducted by the Fishery Oceanography Unit. Oceanographic research is important for proper exploitation of our fishery resources. The fishery resources are closely related to the environmental conditions in which they are in. The environmental and physical conditions will determine the types of organism present. Thus the oceanographic data is important as it will indicate the possible carrying capacity of an area which it can support. The nutrients, plankton and benthos distributions will indicate the presence of the pelagic and demersal fish. If the relationship between these organisms are known especially in terms of their food requirements then the abundance and the biomass of the fish could be estimated and predicted. This consitutes partially the assessment of fish stocks using the ecosystem approach. Detailed studies of oceanographic parameters could explain the variabilities of the presence of fish stock in specific areas. menu Objective s To determine the relationship between physico-chemical parameter of the ocean waters and fishery resources

AAHE Strategic Directions Update: Student Learning and Leadership Assessment Book Reviews Business Diversity ... Other Topics Improving Undergraduate Research Experiences Lessons From a Historically Black University’s Unusual Collaboration By Peter G. Verity, Matthew R. Gilligan, Marc E. Frischer, Melissa G. Booth, Joseph P. Richardson, and Chandra Franklin From the February 2002 AAHE Bulletin Click here to view an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) version of this file. African Americans remain significantly underrepresented in the geosciences (earth, atmospheric, and marine sciences) and in the educational pathways leading to science professions. With help from the National Science Foundation, our two institutions — Savannah State University and the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography — have joined together to improve the research experiences of African American undergraduates and perhaps, over time, attract more of these students to the sciences. Savannah State University, like many other Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), is a small undergraduate teaching institution and does not have the resources or justification to develop and maintain extensive modern research facilities. Thus our students, while receiving classroom and laboratory instruction, often do not have the exposure to and training in sophisticated research environments. Without such exposure, students are less confident and competitive than those who do. This is a serious problem because HBCUs, which enroll only 12 percent of the African Americans who are in college, award 40 percent of the science degrees earned by African Americans.

From: ppenhale@nsf.gov Date: Sat, 14 Mar 98 12:58:30 EST To: ray@icess.ucsb.edu, rmarinel@nsf.gov, ppenhale@nsf.gov Subject: LTER Review Ray: Please forward the below message to the entire set of LTER PIs. Thanks, Polly Dear LTERs: I've had the chance to talk to Ray and some of you about the upcoming LTER review to be held on April 30, 1998. This message is to present more detail about the meeting. The intent is to review progress and to discuss the future. There will be no requirement for any written material to be prepared for the meeting. I view this review process positively. The meeting will give the review team an opportunity to assess at the last two years of work, particularly with regard to issues brought up through the review process of the renewal proposal. This process also will give you the opportunity to tell us about your future plans and needs, particularly with regard to long-lead time requests for support. In the current budget climate in OPP, both in terms of the PBM program grant funds and in terms of the Operations Science Support budget, there is considerable competition for diminishing resources. All of OPP is contributing to the priority of the South Pole Modenization project. The better planning we all do now, the more likely your future needs will be supportable. In this vein, it is important that you present us with your requests in terms of the research goals and priorities of your program. Whether it be beds at Palmer Station, cruise support, new equipment, collaborative activities with BAS or other groups, etc., your requests should be presented in terms of an overall long-term research plan. As the data is analyzed and synthesis/modeling activities occur, I expect that your priorities and needs will evolve. This may result in some areas being emphasized and other areas being reduced as well as new areas being addressed. With the amount of data already collected, I expect you will be able to anticipate much of this now. Again, back to the OPP budget. We simply do not have the flexibility that we did in the past. Even a month ago, we had to call ongoing PIs and tell them that we had to reduce their already planned field support for next field season. I doubt if you were aware that some of the support provided to the LTER in the past, such as GPS and aerial photography, is supported directly out of PBM funds. The bottom line is that for the next few years, we all will be working hard to sort out priorities. The two LTERs have been one of the PBM program's top priorities. That won't change, but I expect that all projects in PBM will feel the result of overall OPP priorities. As for the schedule, I'd like to begin with a morning of presentations and to follow with an afternoon of discussion. The morning will be open to other NSF staff and will give us the opportunity to let our NSF colleagues learn about the PAL-LTER. I don't expect a big crowd, but key personnel in OPP, DEB and our public affairs office are likely to attend. You can set up the seminars as you see best from an intellectual point of view, but I suggest that Ray being with an overview of the program, the goals, etc. Then, I see a series of shorter presentations followed with questions or discussion, like talks for an ASLO meeting. This could be structured by PI, by research topic, by collaborative efforts, etc.; it would be good if all of you are involved in the presentations. The time frame for the morning would be from 8:30 am to about 11:30 or noon. The afternoon will be a closed discussion. I'll lead the discussion and the other participants will be Roberta Marinelli, Scott Collins and Janet Campbell (NASA headquarters). Janet's program provides some support to the LTER efforts, so she is an ideal person to join the review. Also, I expect that Dennis Peacock will attend part of the meeting. I'll ask Al Sutherland and/or Simon Stephenson to join the discussion of future field plans. I'd like this afternoon session to be an informal discussion focusing on the following issues, a number of which were noted in my request for an addendum to the renewal proposal: 1) Date Management and Data Policy. This topic should focus on progress to date in meeting the specified grant conditions found in your award letter, and should include a brief summary of the current status of the data accessibility, metadata availability, QA/QC issues and the status of data submission to NODC. Additionally, the collaboration with NASA and making that data available through the LTER website is a topic to cover. 2) Role of Physical Oceanography and Modeling in the LTER. The proposal review process identified this as an area of concern; similar concern was voiced by your Steering Committee. With the departure of the physical oceanographers from the PAL-LTER, this becomes a very timely, as well as crucial, topic. The clear advice to date has been to bring in a physical oceanographer with field experience who has modeling expertise. As I've discussed with some of you, this may very well involve a reapportionment of funds to allow this area to move forward in a manner relative to the importance of this topic. As I've discussed with Ray, I'm not so interested in seeing this resolved quickly as seeing a consensus on how you plan to reach your goals. The topic of conceptual modeling to link individual components to achieve the greater synthesis should also be addressed in the context of your program. 2) Long-range research plans and field program plans. This is where you can discuss your views on how the conceptual framework of your research can best be implemented. The principles of LTER research are that short- and long-term experiments are conducted in the context of hypothesis-driven long-term measurements. Implied is that the LTER is not static, but will continue to move forward as certain topics become more important and others less and when new approaches are implemented. I'd like to hear your views on where you are going, what is needed to achieve your goals, and what time frame is desirable for implementation. Additionally, in terms of issues raised during the proposal review, I'd like you to address the integration of the flux component with the other research topics and the relationship between the bacterial and phytoplankton components. I'd like you to cover the issue of spatial scale and the relationship between the data collected through measurements and experiments conducted at Palmer Station and within the larger grid. The above should give a general overview of the day. I expect the afternoon discussion to go from 1:00 pm until 4:00 or 5:00 pm. I'm off to the GLOBEC Open Science Meeting later today where there will be a planning session for Southern Ocean GLOBEC. I will be back will be back in the office on March 23. More concrete information on logistics will be sent to you at that time. Regards, Polly
