By Dr. Harris B. Stewart, Jr. Even as the New Port of Miami on Dodge Island it- self is taking shape, so too are the plans for its use as a major staging area for oceanographic research ships. In mid-August Admiral John Bull and Captain Allen Powell of ESSA's Coast and Geodetic Survey came to Miami to work out construction schedules for the Dodge Island facility with Port Director Irvin Stephens. Their plans are the result of several months of discussions with officials of the Institute of Marine Science of the Uni- versity of Miami and of the Bureau of Commercial Fish- eries' Tropical Atlantic Biological Laboratory. It is hoped that the oceanographic ship facility on Dodge Is- land will meet the combined requirements of these three major oceanographic research organizations. The details of the plans are not yet sufficiently worked out to warrant publication. However, the university, the federal agencies and the Port of Miami are working together to come up with a facility that will not only meet the requirements for the ships to base there but will also fit in architecturally with the other structures already built or planned for the new Port of Miami. The Coast and Geodetic Survey ship DISCOVERER, which visited Miami the end of July, officially trans- ferred from Jacksonville, where she was constructed, to Miami on August 28th. Until the oceanographic ship facility on the south side of Dodge Island is completed, she will berth on the north side of the island. This ship is the major research ship of the ESSA In
