    (a) This section sets forth the basic purposes for which Sea Grant 

funding may be made pursuant to the following sections of the Act: 33 

U.S.C. 1124, 1127, 1125 and 1124a. These sections provide for the 

funding of programs and projects in fields related to ocean and coastal 

resources that involve marine research, marine education and training, 

and marine advisory services. However, there is a significant difference 

in focus among these sections since section 1124(a) is concerned chiefly 

with regional and state needs relative to ocean and coastal resources 

(including the funding of Sea Grant Fellowships under section 1127) 

while section 1125 is concerned with national needs and problems 

relative to ocean and coastal resources, and section 1124a is concerned 

with programs of international cooperation assistance with respect to 

those resources.

    (b) Comment: Statutory citation 33 U.S.C. 1124(a):



    In General. The Secretary may make grants and enter into contracts 

under this subsection to assist any Sea Grant program or project if the 

Secretary finds that such program or project will--

    (1) Implement the objective set forth in Section 202(b); and

    (2) Be responsive to the needs or problems of individual states or 

regions.

    The total amount paid pursuant to any such grant or contract may 

equal 66\2/3\ percent, or any lesser percent, of the total cost of the 

Sea Grant program or project involved.



    (c) Comment: Statutory citation 33 U.S.C. 1127(a):



    In General. The Secretary may enter into contracts and make grants 

under this section to--

    (1) Enhance the research and development capability of developing 

foreign nations with respect to ocean and coastal resources.

    (2) Promote the international exchange of information and data with 

respect to the assessment, development, utilization, and conservation of 

such resources.
