the problems and potentials of natural resources and in the training
of students and specialists in related fields.
The principal divisions of the Institute include the Chesapeake
Biological Laboratory, Solomons; the Inland Resources Division and
the Conservation Education Division, College Park; the Seafood Proc-
essing Laboratory, Crisfield; and a field station in Western Maryland

A wide series of publications is issued, including the quarterly
journal, CHESAPEAKE SCIENCE, devoted to research and progress
on natural resources of the Chesapeake Bay region (Code 1957, Art.
66C, sees. 18-21).
