Effects of p< predicted by Rv .1AV WRI I.C Gamecock Staff Writer Effects of pollution along the South Carolina coast can be predicted with computers. "By feeding different information into a computer, we should be able to predict the consequences of different types of pollution," Henry N McKellar, a USC biology professor, says. McKellar of the Belle W. Baruch Institute for Marine Biology and Coastal Research, is working on ino development oi a computerized ecosystem model for the North Inlet estuary no? Georgetown. MeKELLER described an ecosystem as a simplified version ot natural relationships in an environmental system. A flow chart, used as a simple model, can be translated into computer programs McKellar said. This computer program can be fa.* ? ?

The North Inlet, a portion of "Hobcaw Barony" is a unspoiled estuary. McKellar said, "If we can understand how an unpolluted area functions then we can use the model to examine environmental impacts on different estuaries and marshlands." Thirty-six research associates of the institute are developing the computer program for the North Inlet. T1IE NORTH INLET is under the protection of the Baruch Foundation. This area has been made available for the university for marine biology and coastal research. "Environmental modeling has made a lot of progress, but there is a great deal of work that has to be done before it realizes its full potential," said McKellar. fwoE Smim, MEONE WHO CARES >YS WOMAN Y TESTING ANCY COUNSELING CKAL & FAMILY PLANNING CIAL SERVICE >ICAL FACILITIES ARE CONFIDENTIAL -4371 DLL FREE IN S.C.
