Rini is continuing to analyze samples for Peter Thomas' field project in Galveston Bay while actively jobhunting. She ~s planning on runningjust one more analysis on her sample. She is also working to get her thesis published. Rini: I have learned a lot during my stay here at MSI, and I have enjoyed the company. Everybody has been very helpful, especially the maintenance crew who had to put up with my trying to get "stuff' built at the start ofmy experiment aneeded a lot of ~'stuff'). Rini: My most memorable experience (besides graduating, of course) .was when J went on a summer class trip in 1988 (that long ago!!) on the LONGHORN and saw dolphins playing _in the bow wave. I grabbed my camera and took umpteen pictures, some ofwhich were not in focus because the vessel was moving. I lost my lens cap and ended up with salt water spray on the camera, but who cares? THE EFFECTS OF WATER-SOLUBLE FRACTIONS OF. DIESEL OIL ON REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINE FUNCTION IN THE FEMALE ATLANTIC CROAKER (Micropogonias undulatus) Lestarini Budiantara, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 1994 Supervisor: Peter Thomas The effects ofchronic exposure to 2.5% and 5% water-soluble fractions (WSFs) ofdiesel fuel on reproductive endocrine function were examined during sexual maturation and ovarian recrudescence in female Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus). Fish were dosed with freshly prepared WSFs every 2 days for 5-, 8-or 10-weeks. The effects of oil exposure during the early or late stages of ovarian recrudescence were investigated as well as the response to WSF with low concentrations of aromatics. Multiple stages of the reproductive life cycle (puberty, gonadal recrudescence and final oocyte maturation) were examined to assess reproductive dysfunction.·The reproductive process in croaker was affected at several locations along the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad~liver axis, with more pronounced effects associated with higher levels of aromatic WSFs. Puberty was delayed or prevented only in fish exposed to WSFs containing hig}l.er levels of aromatic hydrocarbons. Interference of reproduction during gonadal recrudescence was observed using several indices of endocrine and reproductive function. ·Gonadotropin hormone production by the pituitary was reduc~d as was gonadal production of steroids. Decreased plasma levels of estradiol, testosterone and vitellogenin, and a reduction i;n. the gonadosomatic index were observed with exposure .to high aromatic WSFs; there were also fewer vitellogenic oocytes in the WSF-exposed fish. Fish exposed to low aromatic WSFs had reduced plasma estradiol levels and pituitary function. Final oocyte maturation was impaired with exposure to both high and low aromatic WSFs. These experiments show that chronic exposure to WSFs of diesel fuel cause functional impairment of the reproductive endocrine system in female Atlantic croaker and that a major portion of the toxicity is caused by the aromatic fraction of diesel .fuel.

I sit here in this little room All dark and cold and full of gloom Carefully counting glowing dots That later leave me seeing spots! The cold just·leaves me feeling numb While mindless counting leaves one dumb. But these little critters are so neat And important in the food chain that we eat. Before you call me a "science geek" Why don't you come by and take a peek? Then you'll know what these cold, dark, rooms are about When you stop to check it out! -L.T.F.H. (Lab Tech from Hell!) A few questions have been asked. Been sailing lately? Seems like with a handlelike Barnacle Bill, I'm expected to sail more often. With all the experience (trouble) I've had, would you be so eager to put your life on the line as I have? I'm the kind of sailor that weather is a big factor. Like pick-in--cotton in the rain.You're going to get wet. In the mean time, did I ever tell you about the time....? Not too far back in my younger years, I made the decision to build a fine BBQ pit. After locating an emptybutane bottle (10 gallon size), I removed the valve. Since the bottle had to be cut open, any remaining gas fumes had to be removed. Fill it with water! Which I did (twice). The now empty bottle was ready forcutting. Being safety minded, I thought it best to check for fumes still remaining. Striking my trusty Bicclose to the hole revealed nothing. With safety still on my mind, I placed the flame directly in the hole.There was no count down. There was no advance warning. That sucker ignited, sending the prettiest blue flame out that hole. You talk about a cool rocket engine. After two tubes ofburn salve and one large aloe plant, my hand healed just like new. Don't try this at home. In fact, don't try this at all. -Barnacle February 4-6, Rick Tinnin, Linda Fuiman, and Bob Huntington traveled to SouthPadre Island to work with 33 public school teachers who attended a workshop, Water, Sand, SquidandFish. Participants worked on experiments focusing on thederi'sity 9f water as effected by temperature and salinity, explored sand samplesfrom around the world, learned about the source ro~~ and mode oftransportationof the sand, and made a classroom set of sand sanipies. for their own use. Weexplored mollusks and focused on the internal and external anatomy ofthe squidand had a fish form and function lab to compare and contrast the adaptations ofa variety of fish, ending with fish prints of Gyatoku. On the 17th, Rick flew to Oakland to meet with the Marine Activitles and Resource Education (MARE)project staff at the Lawrence Hall of Science. MARE replaces the old Project OCEAN program that was started in Texas schools by MES in 1989. We are working on anotherjoint program in California and Texaswith $1.2 million dollars of funding from the NSF Teacher Enhancement program. Funding has beenapproved and we are waiting for our official letter of notification from NSF. The meeting with the LHSstaff allowed for the ironing out of budget details as well as discussions regarding the upcoming summertraining for the Texas and California MARE schools. Rick continued south to Pasadena to an educators workshop at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the TOPEX/POSEIDON. Oceanography Satellite research program~ JPL is interested in linking its research program to educators nationwide. Satellite information Will enable researchers to investigate sea level riseand better define ocean circulation patterns on a global scale. The satellite covers over 95% of the globe every 10 days with an accuracy of 2 cm from a height of 800 miles. The education department at JPL is developing informative videos on the program. The videos and other materials available from JPL will beused in a new display at MSI. Next, Rick attended a Project Directors meeting in Austin in relation to our MES Investigating Our BluePlanet project in Los Fresnos, in the lower Rio Grande Valley. This program is aimed at improving thescience and math attitudes, skills and knowledge of elementary teachers and students at Lopez-Riggins 4 Elementary. The SEDL training focused on developing models of how people learn and assess tools that allow us to evaluate learning. It was a valuable meeting for the Blue Planet project team because it allowed time to look at data we've collected during YR 1 & early YR 2 and to assess where we are on our goals and objectives for the project. March 4-7, the Blue Planet Project team of Rick, Pam Stryker and Susie Parkinson headed south to Los Fresnos for our last teacher training of the school year. Pam-and Susie are exemplary elementary teachers from Austin who serve as consultants for the project. Training focused on Whales and Dolphins. Previous training sessions have focused on Invertebrates, Fish and local marine habitats such as the Rock Jetty, Sandy Beach, open Gulf and Marshes and Mudflats. YR 3 training will focus on the physical environment of those habitats and integrate Earth Science and Marine Biology across the curriculum. This training uses marine and earth science as interdisciplinary vehicles that allow for the development and implementation of a variety of teaching strategies and assessment tools. The training sessions focus not so much on the content but rather on the process of instruction and learning. For example, the teacher assumes the role of facilitator, instead ofthe traditional "Seat of all Knowledge". Through the use of questioning strategies and concept webs, the teacher is able to assess the prior knowledge of the students, including their perceptions and misconceptions about a topic and then provide opportunities for discovery, observation, inference and conclusions based on the students' experiences through exploration. The blending of the learners prior knowledge with new experiences allows for the construction of a new understanding that then becomes part of their existing prior knowledge base to be applied to novel situations. Talring the teachers and their students through this process is the heart and soul of the Blue Planet project. Bringing the teachers on-line with this process has been our first priority. Most of them are implementing the teaching strategies in their classrooms and have been pleasantly surprised and encouraged by the response of the students. We were able to observe some of them in their classroom implementing these strategies and approaches for the first time and it was difficult to tell who was more excited at the end of the first day, the students or the. teachers. I believe that we are making a very positive impact in this school. But as an old sage reminds me most days, "Change is a process, not an event, and it takes time". On March 11-13, MES hosted a K-12 grade· curriculum project developed by the American Meteorology Society, Project ATMOSPHERE. Nezette. Rydell, a meteorologist from San Antonio and Linda Maston, an 8th grade Science Teacher from Pease Middle School, also in San Antonio, led the workshop for 18 teachers. One of the many gripes of classroom teachers is the lack of materials and/or cost of supplies to teach. This workshop used the sky (no charge), weather maps in the newspaper, plastic 3 liter bottles. for cloud chambers and computer access to weather information to interest students in the world around them. Tony Amos provided an insight into the frustrating business of predicting local tides Saturday evening and then the whole crew visited the local National Weather Service Office in Corpus Christi. On March 18-20, over 50 elementary teachers from across the state attended a workshop featuring Mr. & Mrs. Fish, from Portland, Maine. The Fishes use creative dramatics and a wide variety of crazy costumes to teach elementary students about the ocean. Jeff and Deb Sandler (the Fishes) have been recognized nationally and internationally for the quality of their educational programs and for the amount of true learning and understanding that the students in their audiences take back to the classroom. They have traveled to Samoa, Japan, the Bahamas, Scotland and throughout most of the United States. They have been featured at the local elementary school during our Oceans Weeks. Participants also took a collecting cruise aboard the WV Katy to explore plankton, fish and crabs further and made fish prints. Sunday the group adjourned to the jetty and the mangrove marsh and explore the adaptations and form and functions of the plants and animals found there. Itis hoped that April will prove to be a calmer month; there's only one workshop scheduled at South Padre, both Oceanography Day and selecting Superintendent candidates slated for April 23rd, and two boat trips/day from now until the 3rd week of May.

I am thirteen years old and hold the star rank in Boy Scout Troop 1001,Brazos District ofthe Sam Houston Area Council. I am in the seventh grade ofLamar Junior High School ofRosenberg, Texas. Math and science have always been my two favorite subjects, and through the scouting program I have been trying to explore, as much as possible, the different fields of science. To me the Oceanography Merit Badge work has really been interesting because it does include so many different kinds ofscience. During the last six weeks I have read several oceanography books from the local library and have completed the first six requirements needed for the badge work. I am enclosing those requirements with this letter. IfI have done the six requirements correctly and you feel I would qualify, I would very much like to take part in the Oceanography Day.activities_on April 23rd in Port Aransas, Texas. (This letter was sent to the editor in his capacity asOceanography Day Chairman; I wanted to share it with the readers of the LazGaz.

One frequent complaint is that the seat and console on the Roughneck are loose and need repair. This will continue to be a problem until replacement or a miracle bond is found. One solution would be for the operators to slow down somewhat when the water is rough or choppy. THERE IS A THROTI'LE POSITION OTHER THAN WIDE OPEN. Slowing down will cause you to get back a little later, but the ride will be a lot smoother and the equipment will not take as severe a beating. Another item concerns log book entries. We need more details. Mark is not a mind reader and needs toknow a little more than, the trailer is broken (what's broken on the trailer!) or motor is not running right (is the engine spitting, backfiring, not running on all cylinders, hard to start, or what!). Let's be a littlemore detailed. PLEASE! A frequent entry, complaint, is that the boat is dirty and needs cleaning. As stated in the Boat OperatorsManual, cleanup is the responsibility of the operator upon returning the boat and equipment. The rateschedule is based on this. Ifyou check no by ProfessioTUll <_:rew required?, you are agreeing to cleanup theboat when you return as well as operate the boat. There is now a power washer for small boat cleanup, which will be installed in the little wooden building by the launch ramp as soon as the extension hose on order arrives. Reminder: ALLlifejackets shouldbe removed from the boats, exceptKLEBERG, ETI'A, andJEFFERSONafter each trip and stored with the equipment. IfMark has to follow behind the operator and cleanup aboat or mildew offlife jackets, the previous operator will be charged a cleanup fee, so don't scream too loudifyou are charged for leaving a dirty boat. -Don Gibson Tide Predictions for April (For tidal heights at the tide tower, South Jetty, the Aransas Pass.

And three pages yet to go to review the titles of all the new books in the library.But I was glad to receive the list from Ruth Grundy (and thanks also to Patty Baker for massaging the.list format down to 30% of the space). The poem in Irish Pennants was received anonymously,but is in reply to an At(aboy last issue. Don Gibson gave me the small boat operators message last week, but somehow I lost it. Don didn't keep a copy so he had to rewrite it. The first time was rightafter some particular incident; this version doesn't smoke quite so much. H anyone wishes to proclaim their innocence we shall be happy to publish it. Tony Amos suggested two or three ofthe Top Ten Questi.ons for Director Candidates but our friend M:o! He 3 HaeM did the rest, includingall the ones you fmd offensive. One of Tony's contributions was on driving the UT van to Aggie-land on the day of their bonfire. One Thanksgiving ten years ago, when my old Dodge van was new, I did just that (to visit Jane's cousin, who worked for the Aggies). Believe it or not, when I bought that big shiny van I had ignored the almost maroon color (and son Ethan who protested vehemently). We arrived in Aggie-land about the time ofthe bonfire. We hadn't even thought about it-going there to celebrate Thanksgiving with our relatives, not to attend a football game. With the big, shiny, new, maroon van, we were mistaken for super-Aggies as we fell in with the parading, yelling, honking traffic . Some of those folks are probably still trying to figure out why their gigemaggies were returned by hookem horns from the kids in the back of the big maroon van. Thanks for help with this issue to Tony Amos, Lynn Amos, Patty Baker, Kathy Quade, JoAnn Page, and especially Rini Budiantara. Finally, the person who suggested the RIVEASTER BUNNY on page13 also suggested we say, ifyou don't think he is the Easter Bunny-you tell him. -John Thompson NEW BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY We are beginning to receive new books purchased with Able Foundation Funds,purchased with the Marine Advisory funds, and those received on the automaticpurchase plan with the General Library funds.
