THE CHARLES AND MARIE FISH LECTURE IN OCEANOGRAPHY

ABOUT THE CHARLES AND MARIE FISH LECTURE IN OCEANOGRAPHY

The annual Charles and Marie Fish Lecture is supported by income from the Charlie and Bobbie Fish Endowment for Oceanography. The endowment was established in 1989 by Marilyn Munro and family in memory of her parents, Drs. Charles and Marie Fish. Through their joint efforts, the Fishes established the University’s first marine biological program in 1935, and eventually a graduate program in oceanography at the Narragansett Marine Laboratory, which later became URI’s Graduate School of Oceanography.
