The three-day conference will provide a timely forum for dis- cussing national and international issues related to marine technol- ogy. Technical seminars will deal with ocean energy and food sup- plies, pollution control, undersea vehicles, ocean measurements and instrumentation, and state-of-the- art hardware for the marine environment. More than 200 ex- hibits will showcase the latest marine technology products and services. The Marine Technology '80 technical program, focusing as it does on the coming decade of the oceans, represents a broad spec- trum of expertise. It encompasses the interests of many disciplines — including the social, political, and physical sciences, as well as engineering — on that 70 percent of the world's surface called the oceans. The technical sessions arranged for the MT '80 Conference focus attention toward a variety of top- ics. Over 150 scholarly papers, representing significant contribu- tions from universities, govern- MT 80 EXHIBITORS Fathom 36, Inc Flash Technology Franklin Electric Co, Inc Gans & Pugh General Instrument Corp General Oceanics, Inc Giannini Petro Marine Gibbs & Cox, Inc Grundy Environmental Systems, Inc HANDAR Heckerman Corp Hiab Cranes & Loaders, Inc Hydrasearch, Inc Hydro Products, Inc International Underwater Contractors, Inc InterOcean Systems, Inc Interstate Electronics Corp J-TEC Associates, Inc Jet Propulsion Lab KINTEC Klein Associates, Inc Lockheed Missile & Space Co, Inc Lucker Manufacturing Co Magnavox Corp MAR, Inc Marinco Marine Technology Society Motorola, Inc (Gov Electronics Div) National Ocean Industries Association NAVOCEANO Neil Brown Instrument Systems, Inc Nereides NOAA NORDA D.

Chairman of the Technical Pro- gram is Rear Adm. Alfred P. Manning Jr., USCG. Marine Affairs Program The Marine Affairs Program will provide four panels, of short- er duration than the Technical Program, to complement the on- going technical sessions and fol- low up on the theme outlined in the Chairman's Message and Ple- nary Session. Panel I—A Forecast of Emerg- ing Economic Marine Needs—will attempt to gain some consensus on the precise range of national needs having marine dimension that now indicate a significant, emerging demand for advanced marine technology. It will explore how marine technology can be applied more effectively to sup- port national economic (energy, transportation, mining, fisheries, etc.), defense, foreign policy, en- vironmental and other societal needs. It also will highlight cur- rent developments, such as the need to implement anticipated ac- cords from the Law of the Sea Polyform, USA Preformed Line Products Co Raytheon Ocean Systems Rebikoff Ocean Systems Remote Ocean Systems C.
