MTS Conference Features

Strong Technical Program

The 10th annual Marine Technology Society conference in Washington, D.C., will feature 26 sessions covering a complete range of ocean technical and policy issues.

In addition, there are to be two major lunch- eon speeches, an MTS Honors Lecture, an evening underwater film festival and two re- ceptions during the September 23 to 25 meet- ing. Running concurrently is to be a university short course on energy sources from the sea.

Following the conference will be a one-day

Law of the Sea Briefing co-sponsored by

MTS and the Law of the Sea Institute of the

University of Rhode Island. This session will constitute the first report on the events of the

Third United Nations Law of the Sea Con- ference to be held June through August in

Caracas.

The MTS conference program strikes a bal- ance ranging from coverage of highly techni- cal specialties to issues involving diverse disci- plines such as economics, biology or land use planning.

In addition to formal sessions on technical topics, such as buoy technology, underwater cables and connectors and oceanographic sub- mersibles, there are to be several panel ses- sions at the conference. Groups of experts will trade information on such topics as off- shore facilities, current and near-future ; under- water photography techniques and equipment; diving physiology considerations, and beach preservation.

Some of the major policy questions of the day involving the ocean will also be discussed.

Ocean dumping, managing coastal zone de- velopment, the possibilities of alternate ener- gy sources from the sea and current offshore oil drilling technological developments are ad- ditional session topics.

The annual MTS awards ceremony will be addressed this year by Dr. Robert M. White, administrator of the National Oceanic and At- mospheric Administration. Four awards will be presented on Monday, September 23, at a luncheon. A project team, a company and two individuals will be cited for achievements in the ocean.

Another major event of the conference will be the Monday evening film festival featuring six presentations by leading photographers.

The film show will be introduced by one of the outstanding ocean personalities of today.

On Tuesday, the MTS Industrial and Insti- tutional Advisory Committee will hold a lunch- eon, to be addressed by Dr. David A. Potter,

Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research and Development. The committee consists of representatives of firms and nonprofit organi- zations with industrial and institutional mem- berships in MTS.

Dr. Athelstan Spilhause will present this year's MTS Honors Lecture in which he will review development of oceanography in the

United States in the last decade or more.

Running concurrently with the 10th annual

MTS conference will be a short course co- sponsored by the University of Miami School of Engineering and Environmental Design.

The four-day course will deal with possible energy sources in the ocean. Full particulars will be announced this month.

Following the conference on Thursday, Sep- tember 26, will be a one-day briefing on this summer's Third United Nations Law of the

Sea Conference held in Caracas, Venezuela.

The presentation at the Sheraton-Park Hotel will represent the first public reporting by

U.S. officials on the developments at the con- ference. There will be a separate registration for this event.

Two additional social events are planned at the conference. There will be an early-bird reception Sunday evening, and the president's reception on Tuesday evening.

Instead of a formal exhibit this year, com- panies are being invited to display their serv- ices and products in suites at the conference headquarters, the Sheraton-Park Hotel. Plans for student and complementary exhibits in the registration area are being made.
