The U.S. Virgin Islands and the Sea

Beller, William S., [Chairman], The U.S. Virgin Islands and the Sea, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas: Government of the Virgin Islands Marine Resources Council, October 30, 1970.

See ad in the August 1, 1970, issue of The Daily News.

From the letter of the Advisory Committee Chairman to the Government Secretary and Chairman of the Marine Resources Council:

This report was written in response to the Council’s request of last April, when it asked for a study of marine affairs in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We felt that a report that offers recommendations on a matter as vital as the future of the marine environment would have to reflect the experience and desires of some of the most informed people on the Islands. We therefore brought together to write this report more than one hundred Virgin Islanders who have special knowledge of the relations of the islands to the sea.
