The plan will require a total of $ million over the next two years. With this new investment, NOAA will deploy 32 new advanced technology Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting ofTsunami (DART) buoys for a fully operational tsunami warning system by mid-2007.

In addition, the Geologic Survey will enhance its seismic monitonng and information delivery from the Global Seismic Network, a partnership with the National Science Foundation. The new system will provide the United States with nearly 100 percent detection capability for a coastal tsunami, allowing response within minutes.

Culturing Oysters in North Carolina, a new interactive CD from North Carolina Sea Grant, offers an important first step. Jim Swartzenberg of J&B AquaFood and Skip Kemp of Carteret County Community College developed the "show-and-tell" manual especially for individuals who are serious about oyster farming. It was produced with support from North Carolina Sea Grant and the Fishery Resource Grant Program. The how-to guide is the result of several years of research and consulting with folks who have years of hands-on experience. Coauth
