    Introduction
    This supplemental unit to Dear Mr. Blueberry was developed as part of the Schools of California Online Resources for Educators (SCORE) Project , funded by the California Technology Assistance Program (CTAP). The links here have been scrutinized for their grade and age appropriateness; however, contents of links on the World Wide Web change continuously. It is advisable that teachers review all links before introducing CyberGuides to students." This supplemental unit provides resources for students in second and third grade to focus on oceanography and letter writing. During these lessons, students will learn about whales, salt water and letter writing. I suggest that you make contact with other teachers who would like to receive and send e-mail to the students. Global Schoolhouse is a good place to start. In their study of oceanography, students will focus on the following questions:

Programmatic Guidance and Milestones
The milestones that were listed in the program plan include USGCRP high-level programmatic milestones to implement the global change data and information management program and a four-phase implementation of the GCDIS. These milestones provide a general framework for the program implementation plan.
  • Support of process studies . Determine support requirements for bringing sets together in support of process research, particularly field programs and observational campaigns.
  • Support of data fusion and assimilation . Determine the need for combining data sets across traditional data set boundaries and the strategy for preserving analytic products such as analyzed fields from long-range weather forecasts in anticipation of the creation of integrated global data sets.
  • High quality research data sets . Establish a coordinated effort by the agencies to identify and set priorities for existing data sets and to develop new global change data sets, in situ as well as remotely sensed (including the interagency Pathfinder data sets). This will include continuing the development of paleoclimate and paleoecological data sets needed for global change research, as well as socioeconomic data sets relevant to human dimensions of global change.
  • Model input and output data review . Determine and set priorities for data sets needed for climate modeling, including existing data sets that may not be widely available. Establish mechanisms to identify and consider issues relating to model-output data.

Marine Sciences and Oceanography in Mozambique
Introduction: Coastal Resources Utilization and Development
Mozambique’s fisheries resources are mostly located in two major shelves: the Sofala Bank in the center and the Delagoa Bight in the south, as well as in the bays. The major resources include: shallow water shrimp (in Sofala Bank), deep water crustacean (on the slope), scad and mackerel (Sofala Bank and Delagoa Bight), and demersal fish in the southern and northern regions. In the coast region there are large artisanal fisheries, which include the mollusks and form the basis of subsistence for several local populations. The fisheries sector employs 50,000 to 60,000 people, and its contribution to the economy is substantial; it represents about 40 percent of total export earnings. The estimated potential of fish in Mozambique is about 310,000 tons. Recorded amount of marine fish at the landings was about 32,000 tons in 1980, about 80,000 tons in 1980, and about 120,000 tons in 1992. The artisanal and semi-industrial fisheries account for more than 50 percent of the total fish production. The most valuable fishery resource is the shallow water shrimp and its bycatch, deepwater shrimp, scad, and mackerel ( Table 1 ). These resources represented about 54 percent of the total export in 1993. The shallow water shrimp alone contributed about US$20 million in 1979-80.

AAAS International Africa
Foreword In late 1999 the AAAS Africa Program invited a small group of Mozambican scientists to the United States to participate in several key meetings that enabled them to share information of interest to U.S. scientists and to explore possibilities for collaboration. The meetings took place in New York, Miami, and Washington D.C. in February 2000, coinciding with both the AAAS Annual Meeting and the National Summit on Africa . The project was made possible by support from the National Science Foundation. By fortuitous coincidence the 2000 AAAS Annual Meeting (17-22 February) significantly overlapped with the National Summit on Africa (16-20 February). Thus we were able to cooperate with the Summit organizers, and indeed a highlight of the Mozambique project was Minister Brito's address to the National Summit on Africa during the opening plenary on Thursday, 17 February. Following President Bill Clinton's address at the opening ceremony, Dr. Brito's panel also included U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Ibrahim Gambari (Under Secretary-General of the United Nations and Special Adviser on Africa), J. Brady Anderson (Director of the U.S. Agency for International Development), K.Y. Amoako (Under Secretary General and Executive Secretary, UN Economic Commission for Africa), and Gayle Smith (Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs, National Security Council). By special arrangement with the National Summit organizers, participation in the full Summit was enabled for all the members of the Mozambican delegation.

Overview of Environment Canada's Collaborative Activities with Universities
Traditional Collaborative Arrangements
In particular, EC has a long and productive history of working closely with university colleagues in areas of mutual interest. A recent bibliometric study of peer-reviewed environmental research articles published between 1980 and 1998 showed that Environment Canada is the largest producer of published research in a number of environmental fields. Moreover, the study showed that EC is the main partner of each of the other nine top producers of environmental research articles in Canada, of which six are universities. We recognise that partnerships and networks with academic researchers are of mutual benefit. Environment Canada benefits from improved effectiveness in fulfilling its mandate. Working closely with university colleagues not only helps to keep our scientists up-to-date with current scientific thinking but also provides them with direct access to graduate students, tomorrow's environmental researchers. And it is not just in research that we benefit from these close ties. Environment Canada benefits as well from the work of numerous summer students, co-op students and graduates. Some will become the next generation of EC employees. Universities benefit from increased research opportunities, high-calibre teaching and research supervision for their students, and access to EC's unique facilities and specialized equipment.

Areas of Research
Ocean Sciences Division conducts research on physical and biological oceanographic processes along the east coast of Canada to provide an accurate description of the events, features and dynamics found in the nearshore, the continental shelves, and the offshore. The program can be categorized by a few key activities:
  • Physical and Biological oceanographic research including environmental monitoring, process research, numerical modelling and development of instrumentation in support of managing, understanding, and describing our living resource.
    Ocean Climate studies to describe average and extreme conditions, seasonal and longer term variability, and trends or changes over time.
    Environmental descriptions to provide advice on marine activity and operations, such as advection and dispersion of toxins or contaminants, wave impact on structures, transportation and coastal infrastructure, oil spill and search and rescue trajectory models, and assessments of development impacts.

Program Structure
Ocean Sciences Division conducts research on the physical and biological oceanography of marine systems on the Canadian east coast. Its mandate is to provide an accurate description of the processes, events, and features in the nearshore, on the continental shelves, and in the offshore. The research within the Division is sub-divided into eight distinct program areas:

Invertebrate Research at the
ST. ANDREWS BIOLOGICAL STATION
The Invertebrate Fisheries Division is committed to providing good scientific information for solving management problems in invertebrate fisheries of the Maritime provinces. This is achieved by studying population dynamics of invertebrates and plants and their interactions in the ecosystem, by monitoring their fisheries, and by providing timely, accurate and clearly understood information to fishery managers, industry and other clients. The Gulf of Maine Crustacean Fisheries Section, one of five sections in the division, is unique in that its staff work out of two locations; the St. Andrews Biological Station (3 full-time staff), and the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (2 full-time staff). Given the geographical range of the mandate (Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine), and the nature of the fisheries for which it is responsible (inshore and offshore fleets operating out of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia), this arrangement facilitates close contact with clients. Although there are only 5 full-time staff in the Section, actual project teams are often expanded by research fellows, graduate students, interns, and contract staff. Active research collaborations are also maintained with scientists from other DFO laboratories and outside agencies.
