全国都认识到，必须采取重大步骤， 吸引少数民族学生从事科学事业。 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。

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.
