The 80-day research voyage will clear the Panama Canal Jan. 29 and spend 64 days in Pacific waters, making port at Callao, Peru; Puntarenas, Costa Rica, and Academy Bay of Galapagos Island. EASTROPAC studies are aimed at gaining a better understand ing of the eastern tropical Pad fic’s upper layers of circulation, its relation to atmospheric circu lation, primary production, plank ton and region food fish. Con. current cruises by other vessels in February and March will cov er areas further off coast. Othe U. S. participants are the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Scripps Institute and the Coast Guard. Shorter observations will be conducted by ships of the En vironmental Sciences Service Ad ministration, the University of Miami, Stanford Marine Biologi cal Laboratory and the Navy Oceanographic Office. Ecuador, Peru and Chile will operate ships off their coasts and the Inter-American Tropical; I Tuna Commission, of which the I U. S. is member, will cooperate. ; PROFESSORS John D. Coch-; rane, A&M coordinator of j EASTROPAC operations, and Dr. Dale F. Leipper will direct phy sical oceanographic work; Dr. Sayed Z. El-Sayed, biological, and Dr. Guy A.
