production and hygiene are stressed along with a growing awareness for a need for basic English language skills necessary for any development of trade and tourism. Second is to assist in solving problems. For example, the MPML currently is organizing a research effort aimed at the breadfruit blight and another one aimed at a better understanding of the processes involved in the production of atoll soils. A study of the availability of ground water is well underway at Enewetak. The findings of these studies should be applicable to other atolls as well. Surely, soil and fresh water are two of the most valuable terrestrial resources for the Marshallese. Support for this aspect of the laboratory's activities hopefully will be forthcoming from theMarshallese —_- in the future and possibly from the Trust Territory Government in the interim. A precedent exists. The Micronesian Mariculture Demonstration Center in Palau receives support in the form of Japanese reparation funds released by the Trust Territory Government. The third role is scientific research. More scientific work has been done at Enewetak than at any other atoll in the world. The published scientific papers alone fill four large volumes of collected reprints (the fourth volume is in preparation). Many papers on the coral reefs of Enewetak were presented at the recent International Conference on Coral Reefs held in Miami in June, 1977. If at all possible, this outstanding research should continue in the future. Additional areas of support, such as the National Science Foundation will be explored. The fourth role is the establishment of an “Energy Park" in conjunction with MPML. It would serve as a demonstration center for alternate energy sources for the people of Micronesia. Certainly the future of these islands must be built on solar and wind power for electrical power for refrigeration,
