Although the Wetlands Institute is celebrating the 10th anniversary in its present facility, it actually was started as a non-profit corporation three years earlier. Its founder is Herbert Mills who was then executive director of the United States branch of the World Wildlife Fund whose goal is conservation and protecting rare species. Initial funding of the institute’s center came from the World Wildlife Fund and participating in the dedication ceremonies was Prince Bernhardt of The Netherlands who then was president of the Fund. THE WETLANDS INSTITUTE is involved in research and public education. It serves as a marine field station for Lehigh University and the building includes classrooms, an exhibit and lecture hall, a museum, dorms, kithcen facilities, offices and six research laboratories. Dr. Vincent Guida is director. Funding now comes from corporate and private sources. Each year some 12,000 people visit the facility and more than 5,000 children participate annually in outdoor and indoor explorations of the coastal environment. <on the cover: The ancient Japanese art of fish printing will be one of the events on the agenda for the Fish Fancier's Festival on Saturday at the Wetlands Institute.
