Excerpt from Dove Marine Laboratory, Cullercoats, Northumberland: Report for the Year Ending June 30th, 1912 Opportunities have been taken at various places on the coast, by lecture, conference, and conversation, to direct the attention of the inshore fishermen to questions affecting them. This year this has been especially important, from the fact that two Govern ment Committees have been collecting evidence with reference to inshore fisheries. One Of the Committees has under considera tion the territorial waters and proposals for the extension beyond three miles. The other is collecting evidence relating to inshore fisheries in general. The trawl fishermen Of North Shields Often visit the Labora tory also, and evince their interest in the institution by bringing specimens. The Evadne was employed in Obtaining plankton and bottom samples at selected stations. A great deal of the material has already been worked out, and the results are given under the title Biological Investigations.
