ICES is an intergovernmental organization designed to coordinate scientific research, management of fisheries, environmental concerns, and oceanographic matters of common interest to countries bordering the North Atlantic. SCOR serves primarily as an organization to facilitate international collaboration of ocean research through the formation of working groups on various marine topics. Under this award U.S. academic research scientists will participate in selected ICES and SCOR activities in 1996-1997.
