It is recognized nationally that major steps must be taken to attract minority students to scientific careers. This is especially true for the marine sciences. A program to increase the participation of minority undergraduates in marine science will be initiated. The specific activities will include: 1) setting up a planning office for the newly formed Minority Institution Marine Science Association (MIMSA); 2) establishing a communication network for use by members of the Southern Association of Marine Labs (SAML) and MIMSA; 3) gathering and disseminating information on minority undergraduates interested in marine science and activities at marine science institutions that would be of interest to these students and HMCU faculty members; 4) developing a list of minority scientists who could act as seminar speakers and role models for the minority students; and 5) providing funds for other activities for minority undergraduates, such as, summer internships, travel to participate in cruises or field trips.

全国都认识到，必须采取重大步骤， 吸引少数族裔学生从事科学事业。 这是 尤其是海洋科学。 一个计划，以增加 少数民族大学生参与海洋科学 将被启动。 具体活动包括：1） 为新成立的少数民族建立一个规划办公室 海洋科学协会（MIMSA）; 2） 建立通信网络以供 南方海洋实验室协会（SAML）和MIMSA; 3） 收集和传播关于少数群体的资料 对海洋科学和活动感兴趣的本科生， 海洋科学机构，将感兴趣的，这些 学生和HMCU教职员工; 4）制定一份名单， 少数群体科学家可担任研讨会发言人， （五）为少数民族学生提供资金; 少数民族大学生的其他活动，如暑期 实习、参加游轮或实地考察旅行。
