Abstract "The MSC was created through the impetus of three needs. Wayne Burt of
the newly formed Oceanography Department needed dock and ship support
facilities for his NSF-funded research vessel on the coast. Roland Dimick of the
Fisheries and Wildlife Department needed to expand his small bay research lab
located at Sally's Bend on the Yaquina Bay. Thirdly, concerned citizens and
legislators were searching for a way to revive the sagging coastal economy. All
three came together when an opportunity arose to obtain a grant from the federal
Area Redevelopment Administration." (From Brief Historical Review of the Hatfield Marine Science Center 1965-1988)
