Coasta I Are-a Potential ·For Fishing Cited Coastal waters off Southern California have the potential of becoming one or the most productive fishmg grounds in the world, a prominent marine biologist said yesterday. Dr. James Vallee, here to speak before a meeting of the Western Society of Naturalists at the Umversity of San Dieg_o, said the waters could reach that potential if further restric- twns were placed on industrial waste and over-fishing. "The ocean has the potential to provide twice as much prptein a~ now if it is used at maximum efficiency. The fish - cr- tuna , bomta, mackerel, anchovies - could provide a source of -

¥)UTHEfi-l) 3-2..1-71 USD recei es $1 million gift, largest in history The largest gift ever made to the ~niversity of San Diego has helped to launch a maJor program in nursing health science. Announcing the gift at a news conference yesterday (Wednesday), Dr. Author Hughes, pre ident of USD, said , " Because of the generosity of Ph ilip Y. Hahn and ~is pledge of $1 million we a re ready to move into a field of education which will fill a great need.'' THE INITIAL PROGRAM will be a post-RN two-year baccalaureate program in nursing . . . Dr. Hughes said it would inaugurate the Ph1hp Y. Hahn School of Health Science. " We ha ve fulfilled the preliminary requirement~ of th_e Board of Nursing Education an~ Nurse Reg1st_rat1on. We are now seeking a dtrector of allied health sciences." He said the program is being entered after many months of study and that if addition~! nursing board requirements can be met s~n, ~t will begin in the fall semester, 1974. Otherwise 1t will start next spring. HAHN IS DESCRIBED as "a friend of USD" who lives in San Diego. The community needs for the new program have been determined after an in-depth study, according to president Hughes. It has been estimated that as many as 68 per cent of the registered nurses in the San Diego !'-nd Imperial counties are graduates of 3:ssoc_1ate degree programs or diplo!11a scho~ls, with htt le opportunity to fu rthe r their education locally. An endowment ha b n created for the program and the university will increase the amount by soliciting additional gifts. • Students for the new courses mu s t be reg1ster~d nurses, but fu ll-time a nd part-time students will be accepted.

food for Southern Californi- ans." he said in an inter- "2 view. Vallee said Southern Cali- :;? fornia has as upwelling :) coastline, which involves the movement of deep water nu- trients to the surface where plants grow that produce material for the food chain base - plankton. "But we're not realizing our potential with the coast- line because of using ocean water to cool power plants, discharging toxic materials into the water and discharg- ing waste into the sea," he said. 'GROSS i'IIISUSE' Regar ding th e use of ocean water for power plants, the 35-year-old scien- tist said : "This is a gross misuse of our own resources. Companies can use sprinkler systems or cooling ponds in- stead of ocean water." Vallee said he was also upset that the energy crisis helped to allow further oil dnlling along the Southern California coast. "The more drilling there is, the more likelv of an oil spill in the Santa Barbara channel," he said. The scientist, who works with nationally arclalm marine biologist Dr Rir·1• mon C Fay, said that m spite of legislation a lot of sewage goes rnto the ocean without being properly treat• ed. LEAD I SEA He also blamed industry for putting dissolved lead, mercury and other metals into the sea. "There is a high correla- tion between sick fish and waste discharges," he said. While on a recent fish- gathering project along the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Vallee said he noted that 80 per cent of the Dover Sole "we got had fin rot and on many the tail had complete- ly rotted through." Vallee said other stunters of potential catches were people who over-fished the coastal waters. "That's why our commeri- cal fishermen have to keep going lower and lower in the hemisphere to make their catches, such as tuna," he said. But the resident of Venice, Calif., said he is "cautiously optlmislic" about the future of Southern California's co- astal waters. PUBLIC REACTS In the past two or three years the general public has become aware of what is going on along its coastline and has reacted by passing Proposition 20 (which set up the California Coastal Com- mission with six regional

commissions that review po- tential building near coastal areas), he said. Vallee said the recent de- cision by the parent commis- sion , whi ch disapproved plans for further develop- ment of the San Onofre nu- clear power plant, "shows the awareness people now have about the value of coas- tal marine life "We' ve disrupted the sys- tem so that it's not as pro- ductive as it should be, but public opinion and legisla- tion can give the ocean a chance to get back to nor- "I have noted that many of the fry fish have returned to Santa Momca Bay and Los Angeles Harbor, follow- ing legal action against com- pames chemicaly polluting the water," the scientist said. The fish had been not- iceably gone for several years. If the coastal waters are ever able to achieve a more pr uctive potential Vallee sa d t fish could be o signi- f1canef' to a variety of peo- ple. '' There have already been attempts ma e to use dried, powd red fish to supplem nt the diets of people lackmg m proteins," he said mal ," he said. FISH RETURX
