It is likely that this growth has been even faster than growth in Federal support in this field, but con- clusive data are not available. MANPOWER CONSIDERATIONS Present Manpower. We estimate that about 500 to 600 profes- sional oceanographers are active in the United States at present, even though comprehensive polls on the number, distribution, and training of oceanographers yield conflicting results. Further studies probably will not resolve differences because of the difficulty in defining an 70.
