Abstract
The Oceanographic Laboratories of the University of Washington has enlisted the aid of the Lighthouse Service of Alaska in cooperating in a program for procuring daily temperatures and samples of surface sea‐water at the five watched lights along the outside coast of Alaska. At present, surface temperatures and samples are taken daily at Swiftsure and Umatilla, the seaward entrance of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the program calls for similar data to be taken at the Columbia River Light Vessel. The Biological Board of Canada has had a similar program in operation for more than three years, daily, temperatures and samples being secured at seven lighthouses along the outside of Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands. Such close cooperation exists between the Pacific Biological Station and the Oceanographic Laboratories of the University of Washington that this amounts to a unified program for the study of inshore waters from the mouth of the Columbia to the Bering Sea, a distance of 2000 miles.
