Price director of advisory unit

     Kent S. Price, associate professor of marine
biology-biochemistry, has been named director of the Sea Grant Marine
Advisory Service (MAS).
     The MAS mission is to transfer practical information learned
through research to those who can use it, to conduct applied research
to solve pressing marine-related problems and to educate the public
about the marine environment.
     Price joined the University in 1967 as the first faculty member
assigned to the Lewes campus. During the past 25 years, he has held a
wide range of administrative position in the college, including
service as MAS director, assistant dean and associate dean.
     Aquaculture, fisheries and pollution ecology have been the focus
of Price's research. In the 1970s, he was instrumental in establishing
and directing the college's Controlled Environment Mariculture
Program, which provided information about the growth of oysters, clams
and mussels in an indoor laboratory setting.
     Price serves as chairperson of the Scientific and Technical
Advisory Committee of the Inland Bays Estuary Program and vice
president of the Delaware State Board of Education.
