[Coral-List] African Americans in marine science today

[Janice Sessing]

Chandra:

I am sure this information exists somewhere ... for starters, see the 
story from AAAS about NOAA's Educational Partnership Program with 
Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI) [http://epp.noaa.gov/]. The 
program focuses on minorities as defined by the US Department of 
Education, i.e., African Americans to Pacific Islanders.  This issue of 
lack of minorities in the marine sciences is of concern to many 
organizations and agencies such NSF, DOE, AAAS, and of course, NOAA.
