as development of offshore oilfields, pollution control, coastal development, and resources survey at a total cost of Rs 36 lakhs (Rs 3 6 million) These projects were of direct interest to the user community C. Services Planning, Publication and Information Sections of the Institute have done commendable work by releasing regular publications in time. An Indian National Directory of Marine Research Projects was compiled and released. The Indian National Oceanographic Data Centre acquired and stored data on standard formats pertaining to more than one thousand stations. The statewise atlases covering hydrographic, current and biological date for three Indian states (Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu) were also completed. Under the 'computer software services' several programmes were developed for processing various oceanographic data and information. The computer facility was also made available to various public/private organizations and educational institutions. More than 850 books, 720 technical reports and 10 new journals were added to the library. The NIO library also received a valuable personal collection from Prof E C Lafond as a gift to the Institute. Photography drawing, printing, binding and xeroxing groups have rendered valuable services to various Divisions. Similarly, workshop electroplating and prototype groups have continued to give their full support. The maintenance and servicing group did the needful for the maintenance of both laboratory and shipboard equipment Several new instruments (systems) were acquired and installed to enhance the working capability of the Institute. Among these the boomerang grab, programmable automatic scintillation counter coulter counter double beam atomic absorption spectropholometer, ATP meter, are worth mentioning. D. Miscellaneous During the year 130 research papers and popular articles were published in standard national and international journals besides many technical reports. A number of colloquia were organised and more than 3,000 persons with a scientific interest visited the Institute. The visit of Prof Nurul Hasan, Vice President of CSIR was most stimulating and generated a lot of interest among the scientific staff The Institute hosted an international seminar on 'India and the East African, Littoral, Hinterland and Island States' - Areas of Co-operation in January 1980. This seminar was co-sponsored by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations the Centre of East African Studies of Bombay University and the National Institute of Oceanography. About 50 scientist and educationists from India and African countries participated in the Seminar.
An all India seminar on 'Protection and Control of Coastal Erosion in India', was organised in May 1980 in which more than 60 papers were presented. A manual on Protection and Control of Coastal Erosion in India was released on this occasion. A national workshop on 'Energy from the Sea' was held in December, 1980. About 75 delegates (engineers, technologists and scientists) from different organizations in the country participated in this workshop. The year was marked by the participation of many scientists of the Institute to several national and international seminars, workshops and symposia. Director. National Institute of Oceanography
