This report of an international workshop contains recommended guidelines on marine science teaching and training at the first degree level, equated here with a Bachelor of Science, except in those countries in which the first degree corresponds to a Master of Science or its equivalent. Three instructional models are presented: the first model for a minimal program, the second one leading to a first degree with marine science emphasis, and the third one leading to a first degree in marine science. The report includes discussions on necessary and desirable requirements, in terms of human resources and physical facilities, and on the need for practical experience and curriculum assessment. It further gives recommendations for introducing and strengthening first degree marine science in general. The appendixes provide selected workshop presentations that exemplify the development, nature, and diversity of first degree marine science programs in six countries: Brazil; China; Tanzania; Thailand; USSR; and the United States. The appendixes also includes a list of participants (13 experts from 13 countries); a marine science activity course matrix; and a bibliography. (TW)
