INTRODUCTION
The aim of this report is to realise an accurate state-of-the-art in the field of the fight against
marine pollutions. This state-of-the-art (SoA) will be technologically oriented but also market
oriented. It should notably emphasize technological and commercial successes, their impact
should also analyse what is lacking.
In this document a worldwide bibliographic revision of the State of the Art in the field of Marine Pollution will be done.
The SoA review in the Marine Pollution field, that it is commented here, was accomplished
by Horacio J. Montes Coto, coordinator of Maritime Field Investigation Group of the University of Oviedo, a MAPO partner.

M ETHODOLOGY
Each one of MAPO partners should have done this revision of the SoA in their influence
area. Until now, each partner's work was based on distribution of the European Union in
areas of influence. Nevertheless, the SoA on Marine Pollution is understood as worldwide.
Therefore a worldly part should assign to each member as area of influence now. But not
every MAPO partners are Universities, and it is possible thinking that not all can have access
to the worlwide SoA through on line data bases. For this reasons and as we have at our disposition the Library of the University of Oviedo (BUO), which have access to different data
base about scientific, technological, humanities, art, innovation, etc. publications, we chose
to assume also this part, because we have what we could call a Quasi-total Acces to
Knowledge.
In this document, a worldwide revision of the SoA at the field of Marine Pollution comes true.

It is possible to have acces to data base from WEB page of BUO1 (see
Figure 2), in which there is a link to ISI WEB OF KNOWLEGE 2, that manages different
KNOWLEDGE data bases.
ISI Web of Knowledge, an integrated, versatile research platform, delivers easy access to
high quality, diversified scholarly information in the sciences, social sciences, and arts and
humanities, as well as search and analysis tools that enhance this content.
Instead of simply searching a large quantity of content, users can search the right content
and find the relevant information they require — whether that information is found in international journals, open access resources, books, patents, proceedings, or Web sites.

The results of revision of SoA in the field of marine pollution will be done together for all data
bases used, except for the one of Derwent Innovations Index ® ( with its three data subbases
included), that, as they are data bases about innovation, they will be studied separately.
We will divide revision of SoA in two sections:
?? State of the Art on Marine Pollution from scientific and technological point of view,
including commercial and economic features (SoA-ST-CM).
?? State of the Art on Marine Pollution from INNOVATION and/or INVENTION point of
view (SoA-INN).
UOV partners have elaborated THREE new OWN data bases. One for both sections mentionated before and other in which the totality of those two is included except for duplicated registers. Until this moment, data base SoA-ST-CM has 698 registers, and SoA-INN has 188.
To elaborate these three data bases, “Reference Manager 11 (RM11)”3 software has been
used. UOV has license to use this programme through BUO (only for five simultaneus work
posts). Programme RM11 can only be run ONLINE from UOV’s intranet so we cannot give
data bases to MAPO project.
Actions that can be done with RM11 are the following:
?? Online Reference Searcher.
o Collect references from online and Web databases
?? Search ISI Web of Science, PubMed and Internet libraries worldwide from Reference Manager. Export references directly from Current Contents and Discovery
Agent. Build your personal reference collection from hundreds of CD-ROM, Online and Web databases—reduce data entry.

tem analyzes the satellite images and assigns the probability of a dark image
shape to be an oil spill. The output consists of several images and tables providing the user with all relevant information for decision-making. The case
study area was the Aegean Sea in Greece. The system responded very satisfactorily for all 35 images processed. The complete algorithmic procedure was
coded in MS Visual C++ 6.0 in a stand-alone dynamic link library (dll) to be
linked with any sort of application under any variant of MS Windows operating

Abstract: The present paper deals with the application of classical and fuzzy
principal components analysis to a large data set from coastal sediment analysis. Altogether 126 sampling sites from the Atlantic Coast of the USA are
considered and at each site 16 chemical parameters are measured. It is found
that four latent factors are responsible for the data structure ("natural", "anthropogenic", "bioorganic", and "organic anthropogenic"). Additionally, estimating the scatter plots for factor scores revealed the similarity between the
sampling sites. Geographical and urban factors are found to contribute to the
sediment chemical composition. It is shown that the use of fuzzy PCA helps
for better data interpretation especially in case of outliers. (C) Central European Science Journals Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. All

Abstract: Recent concern about negative effects on human health from elevated organochlorine and mercury concentrations in marine foods has highlighted the need to understand temporal and spatial patterns of marine pollution. Seabirds, long-lived pelagic predators with wide foraging ranges, can be
used as indicators of regional contaminant patterns across large temporal and
spatial scales. Here we evaluate contaminant levels, carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios, and satellite telemetry data from two sympatrically breeding
North Pacific albatross species to demonstrate that (1) organochlorine and
mercury contaminant levels are significantly higher in the California Current
compared to levels in the high-latitude North Pacific and (2) levels of organochlorine contaminants in the North Pacific are increasing over time. Blackfooted Albatrosses (Phoebastria nigripes) had 370-460% higher organochlorine (polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs]. dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes
[DDTs]) and mercury body burdens than a closely related species, the Laysan
Albatross (P. immutabilis), primarily due to regional segregation of their North
Pacific foraging areas. PCBs (the sum of the individual PCB congeners analyzed) and DDE concentrations in both albatross species were 130-360% higher than concentrations measured a decade ago. Our results demonstrate
dramatically high and increasing contaminant concentrations in the eastern
North Pacific Ocean, a finding relevant to other marine predators, including
humans

Abstract: The optimal control theory allows us to design a wastewater treatment system in order to control marine pollution in any open area of shallow
waters, as was shown in previous works of the authors. However, there exist
many closed areas (for instance, enclosed bays) which present a serious quality problem caused by domestic/industrial contaminants, due to the insufficient seawater exchange. In these areas it is necessary to consider a new
technique in order to purify polluted waters: promoting seawater exchange by
the injection of clear water from the outer sea. The aim of this paper is to determine the minimal quantity of injected water in order to purify the protected
areas up to a fixed threshold. We present the mathematical formulation of the
continuous and discretized control problems, and propose an algorithm for the
numerical resolution. Finally, we present numerical results obtained in the
study of a real-world problem. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: The present study describes the details about the acid phosphatase
forms in the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata. Two isoenzymes (AcPase I and II)
of acid phosphatase were separated and purified from viscera of pearl oyster,
P fucata to homogeneity by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow,
Sephadex G-200 superfine and ConA Sepharose 4B, and partial biochemical
properties of AcPase I and II were studied. AcPase I and AcPase II had molecular weights of 208.8 and 64.3 kDa, respectively. AcPase I was a single polypeptide chain, while AcPase II was a dimeric enzyme composed of two
equivalent subunits. AcPase I and II showed optimal pHs at 4.6 and 3.2 with
p-nitrophenylphosphate as substrate. The optimal catalytic reaction temperature was 47 degrees C for AcPase I and 57 degrees C for AcPaseII. Both enzyme forms were stable when incubated at 50 degrees C for 40 min. Tartrate
and fluoride were the most effective inhibitors of the enzymes. Fe3+, Zn2+,
Cu2+ and Pb2+ inhibited the activity of AcPase I and II to differing extents.
AcPase I and II were apparently nonspecific and hydrolyzed various phosphoric esters. The different properties of AcPase I and II suggested that the two
enzymes may play different roles in the pearl oyster. (C) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All

early stages of development of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis . Larval morphological abnormalities were studied after the exposure of C. intestinalis
embryos at different stages of development. The median effective concentrations (EC50 ) ranged from 226-590 nM. The larval settlement stage was the
most sensitive to Zpt. Toxic effects of Zpt on larval settlement were detected
at 9 nM (EC10). The inhibition of C. intestinalis embryonic development was
also used to study the loss of toxicity in Zpt solutions exposed to direct sunlight and laboratory UV light. The results showed that the toxicity of Zpt solutions decreased but did not disappear after 4 h exposure to direct sunlight
(EC50 = 484 nM) or UV light (EC50 = 453 nM), compared to control Zpt solutions prepared in dark conditions. On the basis of the present data, predicted
no effect concentrations of Zpt to C. intestinalis larvae are lower than predicted environmental concentrations of Zpt in certain polluted areas and therefore, may pose a risk to C. intestinalis populations

Abstract: Biomarkers are useful tools to study the health of estuarine and
marine ecosystems. Biomarkers can be measured in different organisms, but
mussels have acquired a global importance as sentinels in marine pollutionmonitoring programs. In the present work, we aimed to determine the effects
of different endocrine disruptors in mussels by using peroxisome proliferation
as a biomarker of exposure to organic pollutants and the levels of vitellogenin
(Vtg)-like proteins as biomarker of endocrine disruption. In experiment 1,
mussels Mytilus edulis were exposed for 3 weeks to North Sea crude oil (NSO
0.5 ppm) and a mixture of 0.5 ppm NSO, 0.1 ppm alkylphenol mix, and 0.1
ppm extra polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (MIX). In experiment 2,
mussels were exposed for 3 weeks to diallylphthalate (DAP 50 ppb), bisphenol-A (BPA 50 ppb), and tetrabromodiphenylether (TBDE 5 ppb). Peroxisome proliferation was assessed by measuring acyl-CoA oxidase (AOX) activity and peroxisomal volume density (V-Vp) in digestive gland. Vtg-like protein
levels were measured in gonads by the alkali-labile phosphate (ALP) method.
Gonad was also analyzed histologically, and the gonad index (GI) calculated.
Mussels exposed to NSO and MIX showed significantly increased AOX activities and V-VP compared with control animals. Significantly higher V-VP was
also found in DAP- and TBDE-exposed mussels. Effects on ALP and GI depended significantly on sex and time of year. In female mussels, ALP levels
and GI were lower in the NSO group. In male mussels, ALP levels were significantly increased in the MIX group. The volume density of athretic oocytes
was higher in the NSO and MIX exposure groups than in controls, and gonad
- 11 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
resorption was observed in the BPA exposure group. Our results confirm the
usefulness of peroxisome proliferation as a biomarker of exposure to organic
contaminants in mussels and indicate that changes in Vtg-like proteins could
be used as potential indicator of pollutant effects on mussel reproduction

Abstract: This article examines the interplay between three different international institutions on marine pollution in the North Sea and the wider NorthEast Atlantic: the International North Sea Conferences (INSC), the OSPARConvention and preceding conventions as well as the European Union (EU). It
argues that interplay between these institutions have proved synergetic in two
ways. First, the INSC-process has speeded tip decision-making within OSPAR
and the EU by means of leadership, change in membership and institutional
arrangements. Second, OSPAR and the EU have Subsequently facilitated
domestic implementation of the North Sea Conference Declarations by means
of higher authoritativeness and enforcement competence. These three institutions have fulfilled different functions all of which are needed to make international environmental cooperation effective. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: An incident in the course of the shipment of radioactive material
could have serious consequences for affected states, whether or not a release
of radiation actually resulted from the incident. In particular, small island states
could potentially suffer serious damage to their reputations and to their economies. Pacific Island states are taking an initiative in response to their exposure to this risk. Assurances that they will not be left unsupported in such circumstances are being sought through a process of direct discussions presen-

tly taking place with source states and operators involved in the shipment of
radioactive material through the Pacific. This article examines the legal background to these discussions, investigating the legal uncertainties in the situation of states affected by an incident in the course of shipment of radioactive
material that arise from limitations in the nuclear civil liability conventions and
other aspects of applicable international law

Abstract: The nonionic biodegradation-resistant ("hard") alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO) surfactants and their degradation products are known endocrine
disrupting chemicals (EDCs). We report here the findings concerning the
APEOs concentrations and homologic distribution profiles in Israel's estuarine
and coastal zone seawater to serve as a case study. The concentrations in
sewage-containing rivers, estuaries and 50-60-m offshore sea (Mediterranean) water were found to be 12.5-75.1, 4.2-25.0 and 0.9-2.6 mu g/L, respectively. The corresponding homologic distribution profiles were found to be within the range of 1-10% each, somewhat skewing, as expected, towards the
more toxic shorter-chain ethoxylates. Egg production by zebrafish, exposed to
75, 25 and 10 mu g/L of a typical industrial APEOs was reduced up to 89.6%,
84.7% and 76.9%, respectively, between the 8th and 28th days of exposure.
Apparently, there is a potential APEOs-related ecotoxicological health risk
problem. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: In view of the extensive use of foraminifers for the pollution monitoring especially their unmatched utility in deciphering the temporal variation in
the type and concentration of pollutants at a given location, the literature dealing with the application of foraminifers for pollution studies has been reviewed. The pollution monitoring through foraminifers started with attribution of
peculiar foraminiferal features at any location to the circumstantial presence of
pollutants at that site. These peculiar features of the foraminifers in polluted
areas included, variation in the abundance of total, calcareous and agglutinated foraminifers, species diversity abnormal tests, etc. The abnormalities of
tests included stunted growth, abraded margins, dissolved ornamentations,
etc. Initially, much attention was paid to the effects of sewage pollution on the
foraminifers but later on all kinds of human induced as well as natural pollutants came under the preview of foraminiferologists working on pollution aspects. The advantage of application of foraminifers, over other chemical and
biological techniques, for pollution monitoring lies in their potentiality to decipher temporal variation in type and concentration of pollutants at any site even
in the absence of pre-pollution studies, based on the recovery of foraminifers
from the sediment core samples. Realizing the potential application of characteristic foraminiferal features from the polluted areas to decipher the variation
in introduction and concentration of pollutants at any given location with time,
efforts were made to characterize the specific types of foraminiferal features
to the specific pollutants. It was at this point that the need of culture studies
was widely felt which resulted in numerous lab and field culture studies where
foraminifers were subjected to specific pollutants in order to document their
response to these pollutants and to develop effective foraminiferal proxies for
pollution monitoring through time. Such studies are still going on and it is felt

Abstract: Izmir Bay (western Turkey) is one of the great natural bays of the
Mediterranean. Izmir is an important industrial and commercial centre and a
cultural focal point. The main industries in the region include food processing,
oil, soap and paint production, chemical industries, paper and pulp factories,
textile industries and metal processing. The mean concentrations showed
ranges of 0.01 -0.19 and 0.01 - 10 mu M for phosphate, 0.10-1.8 and 0.12-27
mu M for nitrate+ nitrite, and 0.30-5.8 and 0.43-39 mu M for silicate in the outer and middle-inner bays, respectively. The TNOx/PO4 ratio is significantly
lower than the Redfield's ratio and nitrogen is the limiting element in the middle-inner bays. Diatoms and dinoflagellates were observed all year around in
the bay and are normally nitrogen limited. Metal concentrations ranged between Hg: 0.05-1.3, Cd: 0.005-0.82, Pb: 14-113 and Cr: 29-316 mu g g(-1) in
the sediments. The results showed significant enrichments during sampling
periods from Inner Bay. Outer and middle bays show low levels of heavy metal enrichments except estuary of Gediz River. The concentrations of Hg, Cd
and Pb in the outer bay were generally similar to the background levels from
the Mediterranean. The levels gradually decreased over the sampling period.
Total hydrocarbons concentrations range from 427 to 7800 ng g(-1) of sediments. The highest total hydrocarbon levels were found in the inner bay due
to the anthropogenic activities, mainly combustion processes of traffic and industrial activities. The concentrations of heavy metals found in fish varied for
Hg: 4.5-520, Cd: 0.10-10 and Pb: 0.10-491 mu g kg(-1) in Izmir Bay. There
was no significant seasonal variation in metal concentrations. An increase in
Hg concentration with increasing length was noted for Mullus barbatus. A person can consume more than 2, 133 and 20 meals per week of fish in human
diet would represent the tolerable weekly intake of mercury, cadmium and
lead, respectively, in Izmir Bay. Heavy metal levels were lower than the results
in fish tissues reported from polluted areas of the Mediterranean Sea. (C)

Abstract: Evidence has been presented that a number of environmental
agents perturbs the function of the sex hormone signalling pathways in marine
animals. In this work the estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity of coastal marine
water samples from five sites of the Northern Mediterranean Sea was assayed using a recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain (RMY326
ER-ERE) transfected with the human estrogen receptor alpha. Extraction of
potential EDCs from seawater was performed in columns packed with XAD-2
resins. The estrogenic activity was calculated as percentage of the activity of
17 beta-estradiol (10 nM) and it ranged from 4.8% and 59.03%, significantly
depending on sampling site (p = 0.0013) and season (p < 0.05). Antagonistic
activity of extracts was also detected and the percentage of inhibition of estradiol-dependent P-galactosidase induction ranged to 52.8%. These results
point the reliability of the yeast assay as a first level screening test to assess
the quality of aquatic environments. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd

Abstract: The Marine Pollution Control Act (MPCA) of Taiwan was promulgated on November 1, 2000, with the specific aim of controlling marine pollution,
safeguarding public health, and promoting the sustainable use of marine resources. In addition to land-based pollution, oil spills are one of the most significant threats to the local marine environment largely on account of the some
30,000 tankers which pass through Taiwan's coastal waters each year. In January 2001, two months after the enactment of this newly-introduced law, a
Greek merchant vessel, the Amorgos ran aground in the vicinity of a national
park on the southern tip of Taiwan, causing a serious oil spill and leading to
considerable changes with regard to the marine pollution management system. The incident brought to the forefront many serious problems, such as a
lack of experience, expertise as well as equipment required to respond to
such disasters, as well as the ambiguous, unclear jurisdiction among related
agencies. Thus, this paper reviews the incident of the Amorgos spill, identifies
the major issues and lessons learned, and proposes several recommendations in an effort for Taiwan to further improve its marine pollution management system. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd

Abstract: Marine litter is now recognized as a major form of marine pollution
and key factor for coastal managers. The aims of this paper are to: (a) investigate the perception of beach users on aspects related to solid waste pollution
and (b) quantify the input of tourism-related litter to the southern Brazilian
coastal ecosystem in areas occupied by beach users with different socioeconomic characteristics. Interview results indicated that beach users normally do not admit littering on the beach; believe that hazards to humans are the
main problem caused by litter; suggest the conduction of education activities
and more trash bins for reducing beach contamination. Results indicated that
daily litter input to the beach was higher (p<0.01) in the region frequented by
people with lower annual income and. literacy degree, evidencing the influence of educational level on people environmental awareness and behavior in
relation to its own residues. Cigarette butts, followed by plastics are the main
kind of litter generated. Strong correlations between beach visitor density and
litter generation showed that (1) tourism is the main source of marine debris
and (2) beach contamination depends on beach visitor density. The use of
southern Brazilian coastal zone has increased very quickly, but environmental
awareness of people has not accompanied it. It is evident that litter input and
impacts in the oceans will increase if no preventive actions were taken. (c)

Abstract: In an attempt to improve the detection of peroxisome proliferation
as a biomarker in environmental pollution assessment, we have applied a novel approach based on peroxisomal proteomics. Peroxisomal proteins from
digestive glands of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis were analyzed using 2DE and MS. We have generated a reference 2-DE map from samples obtained in a well-studied reference area and compared this with peroxisomal proteomes from other sequenced genomes. In addition, by comparing 2-DE
maps from control samples with samples obtained in a polluted area, we have
characterized the peroxisome proliferation expression pattern associated with
exposure to a polluted environment. Over 100 spots were reproducibly resolved per 2-DE map; 55 differentially expressed spots were quantitatively detected and analyzed, and 14 of these showed an increase in protein expression
of more than fourfold. Epoxide hydrolase, peroxisomal antioxidant enzyme,
and sarcosine oxidase (SOX) have been identified by ESI MS/MS, and acyl-

Abstract: Between 1992 and 2003, samples of four species of gadid fish from
the northern North Sea, the Faroe Islands and northern Norway were examined for myxosporean gall bladder parasites. Total numbers of each host species examined were: 665 cod Gadus morhua L., 621 haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus (L.), 389 saithe Pollachius virens (L.) and 445 whiting Merlangius merlangus (L.). Nine species of myxosporeans were found: Ceratomyxa
arcuata Thelohan, 1892, Leptotheca informis Auerbach, 1910, Leptotheca
longipes Auerbach, 19 10, Myxidium bergense Auerbach, 1909, Myxidium gadi Georgevitch, 1916, Myxidium oviforme Parisi, 1912, Myxidium sphaericum
Thelohan, 1895, Sphaeromyxa hellandi Auerbach, 1909, and a hitherto undescribed species of Myxidium. The taxonomy and likely geographical distributions of these and other gall bladder myxosporeans of gadid fish reported
from both sides of the North Atlantic are discussed. These myxosporeans fulfil
most criteria for use as biological tags in host population studies and some
have been used successfully already. They also have potential use as indicators of environmental change and marine pollution. Some species are likely to
become serious pathogens in mariculture, particularly of cod and haddock. It
is clear from our assessment that a great deal has still to be learned about
their taxonomy, host specificities, life cycles and general ecology. For their
more efficient use as tags and indicators, and for successful control of infections and the application of preventative measures in mariculture, more information on the their biology and ecology is essential. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V

Abstract: Enlargement and membrane destabilisation in digestive cell lysosomes of mussels are biomarkers of pollution effect. Cytochemical methods
are currently applied to determine lysosomal membrane stability (LMS) and
lysosomal structural changes (LSC). LMS, determined after grading N-acetylbeta-hexosaminidase activity on cryotome sections of digestive gland, is measured as labilisation period (LP). LSC, determined after image analysis of
cryotome sections where beta-glucuronidase activity is revealed, are measured as lysosomal volume (Vv), surface (Sv), numerical (Nv) densities and surface-to-volume ratio (S/V). Both methods have now been compared in a field
study. Mussels were collected from Biscay Bay (Plentzia, reference; Muskiz,
moderately polluted) and North Aegean Sea (Olympiada, reference; Limani,
heavily polluted). Higher Vv and Sv and lower S/V and LP were recorded in
polluted sites than in reference sites. Significant correlations with LP were
found for Vv and S/V. The cost/effectiveness and environmental significance
of both methods are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: The submarine sewage outfall of Santos (SSOS) is situated in the
Santos Bay (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and is potentially a significant source of contaminants to the adjacent marine ecosystem. The present study aimed to assess the influence of SSOS on the sediment toxicity and contamination at
Santos Bay. At the disposal site, sediments tended to be finer, organically richer and exhibited higher levels of surfactants and metals, sometimes exceeding the "Threshold Effect Level" values. The SSOS influence was more evident toward the East, where the sediments exhibited higher levels of TOC, total S and metals during the summer 2000 sampling campaign. Sediment toxicity to amphipods was consistently detected in four of the five stations studied.
Amphipod survival tended to correlate negatively to Hg, total N and % mud.

Abstract: The concept of live fish tanks in trawlers is to use the catch in a better condition and to reduce marine pollution. It also reduces the infrastructure
meant to freeze the catch to preserve it for longer period. But the presence of
additional free surface in the vessel challenges the stability of the vessel. This
is besides the sloshing effect due to the moving liquid mass in the tank. Roll
motions are initiated due to various factors related to the hull characteristics of
the vessel, loading and operating conditions and its interaction with the environment. Location of fish tank, its orientation, arrangement of baffles inside
the tank to reduce the free surface affects and careful design of tank opening
are to be given priority during the design, manufacturing and tank testing. The
results obtained from tank test of model are compared with that of analytical
method, The non-linear roll performance become further complicated due to
the free surface and sloshing effects of the mass in the live fish tank. Wave
makers are used for generating waves under laboratory conditions compatible
with the scaled down model of the trawler model. The tests are conducted in
the towing tank of Pusan National University. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

a host for trace metal pollutants from overlying waters, therefore determination
of their content is critical in evaluating and detecting sources of marine pollution. This paper presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis of
geochemical assessment for trace metals in coastal sediments of the Gulf of
Paria. This GIS approach facilitates interpretation of the spatial relationships
among key environmental processes. The GIS development involves the integration of spatial and attribute data pertaining to bathymetry, current systems,
topography, rivers, land use/land cover and coastal sediments. It employs
spatial interpolation and retrieval operations to analyze the total trace metal
concentrations of aluminum, copper and lead in the sediments and the clayenriched sediments, to determine whether they are related to sediment type or
are affected by the discharge from anthropogenic sources. Spatial distribution
modeling of element concentrations are produced to indicate contamination
plumes from possible anthropogenic sources such as rivers entering the Gulf
of Paria, and to reveal potential hot spots and dispersion patterns. A direct
spatial correlation between clay-enriched sediments and high concentrations
of aluminum and lead is detected, however regions of high concentrations of
copper and lead indicate a relationship to anthropogenic sources. The effectiveness of GIS for visualization, spatial query and overlay of geochemical analysis is demonstrated

Abstract: The increase of stress induced changes in marine environments
caused by different types of marine pollution made necessary the search for
indicators that assist in assessing pollution effects at the community level. The
main goals, with a view to an effective management, are the early detection
and evaluation of environmental responses to pollution and to avoid or mitigate negative impacts that different uses may generate. Exergy has been considered as a promising indicator of ecosystem integrity, acquiring a considerable interest in the context of systems ecology. In this research we have tested
the capability of exergy (both the exergy index and specific exergy) alongside
other diversity indices (Shannon and Margalef indices) of distinguishing organically enriched areas in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon (El Mar Menor). Results show that the exergy index and specific exergy were able to give useful
information on community structure, although they were not capable of distinguishing high and poor organically enriched areas or affected by any other type of pollution. Diversity indices were more sensitive to organic pollution. We
may say that the exergy and specific exergy are still not applicable as the only
ecological indicators in a generalized way in the field of environmental management. Therefore, they still require further application in a wider range of
geographical areas and in different conditions in order to study more widely
the properties of exergy as an ecological indicator. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All

Abstract: Public participation is an essential part of sound and legitimate political decision-making, since the awareness of environmental problems on the
side of potential investors and that of the public may have a significant effect
on environmental protection in the area. The subject of this investigation is the
perception of the environmental pressures in the Slovene coastal area by different social groups, where the opinions of the general population and employees of the Port of Koper are analysed and compared. Results show that the
group of employees grade ports' impacts on the environment significantly lower with respect to the general population, while both groups grade environmental impacts not connected to the port's activities similarly. Respondents
rank sources of marine pollution and noise generation in accordance to environmental research in the area and rank the impact of road traffic on air quality too low. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: In response to a public demand for action, following a series of high
profile marine pollution events in their waters, several European States sought
designation, by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), for an extensive marine area as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA). The approval 'in
principle' of this area as a PSSA led to demands by several States to reexamine and constrain the entire PSSA concept. This paper analyses the European application and the response, by many IMO members, to the decision
to approve the application in principle. Consideration is given to the legal basis for such an application as well as the potential implications the decision
may have on future PSSA applications. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

at several spatial scales: from meters up to hundreds of kilometers. We wished to test the hypothesis that multivariate variation and biodiversity would vary significantly at different spatial scales in different ways for the major phyla
in the holdfast community (Arthropoda, Annelida, Mollusca and Bryozoa). Biodiversity was considered in terms of richness, total abundance, structural
composition (as measured by the Bray Curtis dissimilarity measure) and taxonomic breadth for each major phylum and for the assemblage as a whole. We
also examined the effect of taxonomic resolution on multivariate patterns.
- 24 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
Species richness and total abundance increased with increases in holdfast volume. Multivariate variation was greatest at the smallest spatial scale for all
phyla, but different phyla showed different patterns of multivariate variation at
different spatial scales. Variations among locations at the largest spatial scale
were primarily due to differences in the composition and richness of bryozoans and molluscs. Location effects became less and less distinct with decreases in taxonomic resolution. There were very few significant differences in
richness or abundance for holdfasts of a given volume, taxonomic breadth did
not vary significantly across locations, nor did the proportional abundances of
phyla. These consistencies across large spatial scales in the absence of environmental impacts and results from other studies suggest that holdfast communities in New Zealand systems would provide a useful model assemblage
against which future impacts may be detected as changes in proportions of
component phyla. In addition, high variability detected at small and large scales at the species level, especially for bryozoans and molluscs, suggest that
these communities may also provide unique opportunities for studying and
understanding sources and functions of marine biodiversity. (c) 2005 Elsevier

Abstract: The "bioeffect assessment index" (BAI) is based on the integration
of several pathological endpoints measured in the liver of European flounder
(Platichthys flesus (L.)) during a long term study of biological effects of pollution in the German Bight. The BAI represents a modification of the "health assessment index" since it includes solely validated biomarkers reflecting toxically induced alterations at different levels of biological organisation in order to
quantify the effects of environmental pollution. The concept of the BAI is based on the observation of progressive deleterious effects from early responses to late effects. Specific "key events" were detected, representing progressive stages of functional deterioration. The biomarkers selected from a whole
battery of cellular markers for the BAI calculation reflect deleterious effects of
various classes of contaminants such as heavy metals, organochlorines, pesticides, PAHs, and therefore reflect general toxicity in an integrative manner.
Selected biomarkers were: lysosomal perturbations (reduced membrane
stability), storage disorders (lipid accumulation) as early markers for toxic
effects of liver cells, and the size of macrophage aggregates and their acid
phosphatase activity. The latter two markers are indicative for the modulation
of non-specific immune response which represents longer time scale

Abstract: The population genetic structure of a species can be an important
conservation tool informing us about the potential for genetic loss and the capacity for species recovery. Depending on the nature of population subdivision, it can also provide a means for assessing the source population of dead
or injured individuals of unknown geographic origin. This type of information
can be particularly useful in instances of large-scale environmental accidents,
such as oil spills. Following the wreck of the 'Erika' oil tanker in the Bay of Biscay in December 1999, more than 80 000 seabirds were washed ashore
along the west coast of France. The most heavily affected species (80% of all
birds) was the common guillemot Uria aalge, a widespread long-lived colonial
seabird. In an attempt to evaluate the 'true' geographic extent of this accident,
we carried out population genetic analyses using 6 microsatellite markers on
samples from 22 breeding colonies in the North Atlantic and on individuals collected after the oil spill. A pattern of isolation by distance was detected among
common guillemot populations, but populations were only weakly structured,
even at large spatial scales. The low level of genetic differentiation between
colonies prevented clear assignments of oiled birds to their population of origin using only the genetic information. The weak genetic structure suggests
that little genetic variability was lost during the oil spill and implies a high potential for population recovery via dispersal. However, current gene flow
among extant colonies may overestimate the capacity of locally extinct colonies to recover due to the behavioural processes involved in recruitment.
Clearly, the mortality of tens of thousands of high-latitude seabirds due to oil
pollution warrants ongoing scientific scrutiny and conservation effort

Abstract: Prior to environmental legislation in the 1980s, anthropogenic waste in Antarctica was often deposited into landfill sites or into the sea. This resulted in metal contamination in terrestrial and near- shore marine environments. In this study, we assess the feasibility of using both past and present
diatom assemblages to reconstruct and monitor past and future metal contamination. Our dataset included the analyses of both surface sediment samples and sediment cores from a contaminated site near Casey Station, Antarctica. Redundancy analyses indicated a strong relationship between metal
concentrations and the composition of diatom communities. Within the surface
sediment samples, tin and lead individually explained 43% of the variation observed in the diatom data; copper and iron explained 42% of this variation. In
the sediment cores, tin and lead individually explained 53% of the variation in
diatom community composition. In the same samples copper explained 47%
of this variation, with iron explaining 46% of the observed variation. Once one
metal had been selected, incorporating further metal data into the analyses
added little extra information. Modern analog technique ( MAT) analyses showed a strong correlation between actual and predicted values within one dataset (R-2: Cu 0.75; Pb 0.86; Sn 0.89; p &LT; 0.05 for each). MAT reconstructions of metal concentrations closely followed measured concentrations, with
both high and low concentrations recorded. MAT analyses performed favorably when compared to predictive techniques based on multivariate linear regression and multilayer perceptron neural networks. This study demonstrates
that the composition of benthic diatom communities is a good indicator of
anthropogenic metal contamination, and may be useful in monitoring the success of environmental remediation strategies in Antarctica and elsewhere

Abstract: Following the grounding and subsequent explosion, in October
2003, of a nuclear submarine in the waters of the La Maddalena National Marine Park, fears arose of possible radioactive leakages. However, isotopic
analyses on algae showed that the gamma-ray emitting artificial radionuclides
that one might expect to leak from a damaged nuclear reactor (such as U-235,
I-131, Cs-137) were absent, and that U-238/U-234 activities were in equilibrium with values typical of sea water; this excluded any direct anthropogenic
contamination as a result of the accident. We used alpha autoradiographic
techniques to detect possible traces of transuranium radionuclides; 160 samples of algae, granites, sea urchins, gastropods, limpets, cuttlefish and jellyfish were collected from the area, as well as from other Mediterranean coastlines and the Baltic Sea. All samples were auto radiographed, and selected
samples further analysed by alpha spectrometry. There were no alpha track
concentrations above background levels in our control Mediterranean specimens. In the samples from the La Maddalena and Baltic areas two different
track distributions were observed: - those homogeneously distributed over the
surfaces examined; - groups (10 to over 500) of radially distributed alpha
tracks (forming "star" bursts, or "hot spots") emanating from point sources. By
comparing radionuclide activities measured by alpha spectroscopy with alpha
track densities, we extrapolated Pu activities for all samples. About 74% of algae had Pu activities of less than 1 Bq/kg and 0.25 Bq/kg, 16% had
accumulated Pu to levels between 1 and 2 Bq/kg, and a very few specimens
had concentrations between 2 and 6 Bq/kg. Plots showed that alpha tracks
and stars concentrate around the northern and eastern margins of the Rada
(Basin) di Santo Stefano, sites facing the nuclear submarine base on the
eastern shore of the island of Santo Stefano. What is the source of these
nuclides: last century's atmospheric nuclear testing, Chernobyl or a local
source? Their concentrated, extremely localised occurrence seems difficult to
explain in terms of left-over worldwide nuclear pollution. A local source seems
more plausible. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The topic of endocrine disruption and the broad range of physiological effects caused by endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can only be
meaningfully framed within an ecological and evolutionary context. Environmental pollutants and EDCs operate by disrupting the "chemical communication" that coordinates signaling within an organism. Here we discuss how
EDCs are also able to disrupt the chemical communication between plants
and soil bacteria necessary for initiating nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. We also
examine, through examples of pollutant-related impacts on a wide range of invertebrates, the need for identifying emerging targets of EDCs. We suggest
broadening the defined field of endocrine disruption to encompass the effects
of synthetic chemicals that interfere with signaling and communication, not only within an organism, but also between organisms and linking ecosystems.
The ecological consequences of failing to recognize novel targets of chemical
pollutants and EDCs may be a net loss of biological diversity and a further imbalance of the global nitrogen cycle

Abstract: Ship damage due to maritime casualties leads to marine pollution,
loss of life and properties. The maritime casualties generally come from the
rough sea and bad weather condition. Therefore the large-scaled casualties
will be derived from loss of structural strength and stability due to the progressive flooding and enlargement of damage by the effect of wave and wind. The
improvement of damage survivability is very important in maritime safety. This
paper describes the framework for damage survivability assessment system,
which can evaluate and improve the ship's safety considering loading, sea
and damage condition. The decision criteria for damage stability and structural
safety are established. The ship modeler, damage stability calculation module
considering wave and structural safety module is developed. Finally current
research work is also discussed. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Measurements of dry deposition flux to surrogate surfaces were
made in Qingdao in July 2001 and March 2002, and airborne concentration
measurements of Fe, Al, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd were made from April 2001 to
May 2002 to determine atmospheric inputs of pollutants to the coastal waters.
Size-dependent particle dry deposition velocities were obtained using Williams' model with meteorological inputs from past observations, taking into
account the particle growth in the humid region near the air/sea interface.
Sensitivity tests show that the model provides deposition velocities comparable with recent reference values. A comparison of the modeled dry deposition
fluxes with measurements and GESAMP (Group of Experts on Scientific Aspects of Marine Pollution) suggestions demonstrated that the current Williams'
model produced reasonable results. Using the averages of measured concentrations of six metal elements, the dry deposition fluxes for four seasons in the
Qingdao area were calculated. The results showed that the deposition fluxes
of crustal elements Al, Fe and Mn in spring and winter account for more than
70% of the whole year's deposition, while fluxes of Cu, Pb and Zn in autumn
and winter contribute more than 70% of the whole year's deposition. (c) 2005

Abstract: Mercury concentrations were measured in tissues of 12 individuals
of Octopus vulgaris, captured by the commercial fishery at two points along
the Portuguese coast, Viana do Castelo and Cascais, in spring 2002. Concentrations were determined in six tissues (digestive gland, branchial hearts, gills,
mantle, arms, and gonads). Correlations between mercury concentrations in
different tissues were examined as were correlations between mercury levels
and total length, mantle length, weight, gonadosomatic index, digestive gland
index, and state of maturation. Differences between sexes and localities were
analysed. The concentration of mercury in the digestive gland (Viana, 0.58 +/0.08, and Cascais, 3.43 +/- 2.57 mg/kg dry weight) was higher than in the other tissues, and values were generally similar to those recorded in previous
studies on octopods. Arm muscle contained most of the mercury with 56% of
the total body burden followed by the digestive gland with 31%, mantle with
- 30 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
11%, gills with 0.8%, gonad with 0.5%, and branchial heart with 0.2%. In all
tissues, mercury concentrations were slightly higher in samples from Cascais
than in Viana do Castelo, which is consistent with higher concentrations recorded in seawater at Cascais. Levels of mercury determined in octopus were
within the range of values legally defined as safe for human consumption. (c)

dante Ferraz (Ferraz). Total and bioavailable concentrations of sixteen elements were determined in 32 sediment and 14 soils samples. Factor analysis
allowed us to distinguish three groups of samples: (1) Ferraz sediments, with
higher content of total trace metals and organic matter; (2) control sediments,
with intermediate characteristics; (3) Ferraz soils, with higher bioavailability of
most metals due to its oxidizing condition and low organic matter content. Major elements such as Fe, Al, Ca and Ti presented similar levels in all three
groups. Enrichment factor calculations showed that paints, sewage and petroleum contamination enhanced metal concentrations in Ferraz surface sediments as follows: B, Mo, and Pb (> 90%); V and Zn (70-80%); Ni, Cu, Mg, and
Mn (30-40%). Despite evidence of contamination in these sediments, the low
bioavailability, probably caused by iron-sulfide, indicates small environmental
risks. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: A long-term study of temperature, pH, turbidity, suspended solid,
salinity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen has been performed in a port and harbour region in India for four years
from December 1996 to November 2000. Marine water quality results showed
no regular trend. The mean monthly values of temperature, pH, turbidity, suspended solid, salinity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand and
ammonia nitrogen were in the range of 22.64 +/- 0.4 to 29.05 +/- 1.37 degrees
C; 7.65 +/- 0.04 to 7.81 +/- 0.13; 28.8 +/- 14.7 to 64.2 +/- 32.0 NTU; 283.5 +/81.8 to 356.0 +/- 159.7 mg/L; 29.78 +/- 7.18 to 29.78 +/- 1.04 ppt; 4.67 +/0.50 to 6.01 +/- 1.02 mg/L; 5.41 +/- 1.92 to 7.56 +/- 2.1 mg/L; and 0.25 +/0.07 to 0.63 +/- 0.49 mg/L, respectively. The results of correlation analysis
showed that biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was inversely correlated dissolved oxygen (DO) and poorly correlated with all other parameters. Turbidity
and suspended solid were moderately correlated with each other while salinity
was moderately correlated with other water quality parameters. In factor analysis, four factors were drawn out of the eight variables, which represented
74% of the variance of the original data. Factor I was related to suspended solid and turbidity. Factor II represented mainly temperature and DO showing inverse relation between these two. Factor III implied the degree of pollution at
any monitoring station. Factor IV included pH and salinity. It could be concluded that the factor model represented almost all the variables

Abstract: Twenty-nine Marine sediment samples collected from 1996 through
2002 from the Golfo Dulce embayment of Costa Rica were analyzed for PCB
concentrations. The Esquinas River and Rincon Bay in the northern and western part of the gulf had relatively low overall concentrations of PCBs. with no
samples having greater than 2.1 mug/g dw sediment. The Port of Golfito had
the highest overall concentrations. rang-me up to 15.7 mug/g dw sediment.
These samples were also dominated by higher chlorinated congeners. Samples from the deeper (>100m) waters in the northern part of the gulf. as well
as within the sediment plume from the Rio Coto Colorado had intermediate
values. Within the Rio Coto Colorado sediment plume the concentrations did
decrease with increasing depth and the congeners showed a shift towards
less chlorinated congeners with depth. However, the deep northern basin had
some of the highest PCB concentrations and the shift towards less chlorinated
congeners was not apparent or significant. Whether the anoxic conditions that
exist in the deep waters are capable of initiating dechlorination is still unknown. Overall. the data from Golfo Dulce show moderate PCB contamination,
despite the pristine nature of the gulf and surrounding lands

pattern was found for any metal. Iron and copper mean concentrations were
higher in Golfito Bay (5.8% and 87 mug / g, respectively) and lower in Moin
Bay (3.4% and 52 mug / g, respectively). Zinc mean concentration was also
higher in Golfito Bay (96 mug / g), but lower in Culebra Bay (66 mug / g). Lead
mean concentration was higher in Moin Bay (6.4 mug / g) and lower in Culebra Bay (3.0 mug / g). Lead highest concentrations occurred in the Caribbean
and in Golfito Bay, and for the rest of the elements the maximum values were
found in Golfito Bay. On the basis of data obtained in this work. Culebra Bay
was considered a relatively unpolluted location: Golfito Bay was more contaminated, and Moin Bay and the Gulf of Nicoya showed an intermediate condition

Abstract: Mytilid mussels have been extensively used in marine pollution
monitoring programmes in temperate regions of the world although widespread subtropical representatives such as Perna viridis have only comparatively recently been utilised to monitor the sublethal effects of pollution in Southeast Asia. P viridis is considered a subtropical equivalent of the temperate
Mytilus sp. and has considerable potential for pollution monitoring throughout
its geographical range. This paper reviews the current status of biomarkers in
P viridis and provides some recommendations on biological-effects monitoring
to facilitate the assessment of coastal pollution in Southeast Asia. (C) 2004

Abstract: In December 2000, the ship 'Coral Bulker' ran aground at the entrance of the port of Viana do Castelo (North-west coast of Portugal). A large
amount of fuel oil was spilled and part of it reached the shore. To evaluate the
spatial and temporal impact of this oil spill, a field study, and several laboratory toxicity tests were performed using Mytilus galloprovincialis as biological indicator of environmental contamination and the biomarkers glutathione Stransferases (GSTs) and acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) as indicative criteria.
Fifteen days after the oil spill, mussels collected at stations located near the
ship presented higher and lower values of GSTs and AChE activity, respectively. These results, and those obtained in the laboratory toxicity tests, evidence that these biomarkers were sensitive indicators of exposure to this kind of
pollution and were able to monitor a spatial impact of the oil spill of at least 10
km, confirming the higher level of contamination near the ship and a contamination gradient along the sampling stations. One year after the accident, such
a contamination gradient was no longer evident. This study highlight the potential suitability of a biomarker approach for assessing spatial and temporal
impacts of marine pollution accidents, such as fuel oil spills, suggesting the
inclusion of these biomarkers in risk assessment studies, as cost-effective and
early warning recognized tools. Major advantages and limitations of the biomarker approach used in this study are further discussed

Abstract: Data from several sources and original data, are presented regarding sightings, strandings and incidental captures of leatherback sea turtles
(Dermochelys coriacea) on the Brazilian coast in a 33 year period, from 1969
to 2001. Two of the turtles were small juveniles (curved carapace length = 40
cm and approximately 85 cm) and the remaining animals with known carapace size were large Juveniles or adults. The origin of leatherbacks observed in
Brazil is unknown. Several colonies in South America, including a Brazilian
one, in the Caribbean, in western Africa and even in eastern South Africa
could be the source of these turtles. The data presented here suggest that
more efforts should be directed to the assessment of the impact of fishing
gear and marine pollution on leatherbacks and that systematic surveys on
- 35 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
beaches should be maintained in order to monitor long term fluctuations in
stranding levels and spatial stranding patterns. Genetic studies and satellite
telemetry would be helpful in clarifying the origin of leatherbacks stranded or
incidentally captured on the Brazilian coast

Abstract: Stormwater runoff plumes, municipal wastewater plumes, and natural hydrocarbon seeps are important pollution hazards for the heavily populated Southern California Bight (SCB). Due to their small size, dynamic and episodic nature, these hazards are difficult to sample adequately using traditional
in situ oceanographic methods. Complex coastal circulation and persistent
cloud cover can further complicate detection and monitoring of these hazards.
We use imagery from space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), complemented by field measurements, to examine these hazards in the SCB. The
hazards are detectable in SAR imagery because they deposit surfactants on
the sea surface, smoothing capillary and small gravity waves to produce areas
of reduced. backscatter compared with the surrounding ocean. We suggest
that high-resolution SAR, which obtains useful data regardless of darkness or
cloud cover, could be an important observational tool for assessment and monitoring of coastal marine pollution hazards in the SCB and other urbanized
coastal regions. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: We developed a continuous-extraction system for sampling of
hazardous chemicals in seawater, suitable for mounting on a merchant vessel. By mounting this system in the ferry "Kurosiwo" which navigated between
Osaka Port and Naha New Port from December 1996 to Februry 1998, and
the ferry "Sunflower Ivory" which navigated the Seto Inland Sea from December 1998 to March 2000, we observed the concentrations of hazardous chemicals in seawater and confirmed the usefulness of the system. Using these
observations, we analyzed the dynamics of hazardous chemical pollution in
seawater. From these results, it is clear that frequent observations are indispensable to gain a grasp of the dynamics of marine pollution by hazardous
chemicals. By observing their concentraions at various times and locations, it
was possible to estimate the dominant origins of HCHs and chlordanes

Abstract: Although the cardiac activity of invertebrates is now widely used as
a biomarker of marine pollution, few studies consider the intrinsic factors causing the variability of heart rate (HR), including the physiological states associated with metabolic depression and behavioural isolation. We examined the
cardiac responses to copper exposure of a pulmonate limpet (Siphonaria capensis Quoy and Gaimard), known to adaptively depress heart rate (and metabolic rate) under naturally stressful conditions (hyposalinity). Analysis of variance was used to assess the effects of copper concentration (0-1000
mug/L), exposure time (0-2 h), and individual difference (eight limpets per
concentration) on heart rate parameters. Minute by minute heart rate (HR)
and heart rate variability (HRV), and bradycardia (less than or equal to10
beats/min) were determined from continuous recording traces. Most of the HR
variance was attributable to the interaction of concentration and individuals
(35.8%). Considerably lower mean HRs for the higher range of copper concentrations (250 to 1000 mug/L), compared to the lower range (0 to 50
mug/L), were attributable to the virtually exclusive induction of bradycardia in
the higher concentration treatments. With increasing concentration, bradycardia was induced sooner and became less interspersed with near normal heart
rates (i.e., less episodic). This regulated bradycardial response is apparently
associated with isolation (avoidance) behaviour rather than with copper uptake. These findings have implications for biomarker exercises which use heart
rate, in cases where invertebrates depress metabolism. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract: Within the framework of the biointegrator network (RINBIO), 92
man-made cages containing mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis), distributed
over 1800 km of the French Mediterranean coast, made it possible to assess
chemical contamination by heavy metals (Cd, Hg, Zn, Pb, Cu, Ni, Cr, As) and
organic compounds (DDT, PCBs, HAP). The caging technique was adopted to
compensate for the scarcity of natural shellfish stocks in the Mediterranean
and to enable comparison of the sites regardless of their physicochemical and
trophic characteristics. Models linking a biometric parameter (the condition index) to pollutant levels make it possible to adjust raw data on contamination
for a reference individual, by making a clear distinction between physiological
factors (growth) and environmental ones. The results demonstrate significant
levels of pollutants in sites heretofore unsampled; the pollution occurs at limited areas, and the sources have been identified. Moreover, average contamination levels are comparable to those measured in wild species and in other
areas. Overall, the research demonstrates the reliability of this methodological
approach for monitoring marine pollution, especially in the Mediterranean. (C)

Abstract: The abundance and composition of marine benthic debris was investigated in shallow coastal areas of Greece ( eastern Mediterranean). The
mean total density of marine debris in the areas surveyed was 15 items per
- 38 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
1000 m(2) and ranged from 0 to 251 items per 1000 m(2), with plastics dominating. Much higher marine debris densities were found in this study than those found in most studies surveying the continental shelf or the deep seafloor,
indicating that pollution with marine debris is more intense in coastal areas.
Greater abundance of marine debris was found in bays than in open areas.
Artisanal fishing activities were found to significantly contribute to marine pollution with debris. In the Saronicos Gulf, a densely populated and highly industrialized area, the abundance of marine debris was higher than the rest of
the Greek areas surveyed

Abstract: The region of Skikda is one of the most important industrial poles of
Algeria. The aim of the study is a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the
pollution by heavy metals of the marine water of the bay. The pollutants investigated are lead, cadmium and mercury because of their toxicity. The study is
concerned mainly with the spatiotemporal evolution of the pollution on the extent of the bay. Concentrations of heavy metals metals vary from 4 mug l(-1)
to 55 mug l(-1) for lead, 1 mug l(-1) to 17 mug l(-1) for cadmium and 0,1 to 1,1
mug l(-1) for mercury, which indicates a beginning of pollution of the site. Only
small variation of the contents have been noted in a second investigation carried out one decade after the first one

Abstract: The environmental and weather conditions cause flashover on polluted insulators leading to outages in a power system. It is generally recognized that the main causes leading to the contamination of insulators are marine
pollution as found in the immediate neighborhood of the coastal regions, and
solid pollution as found in the dense industrial areas. This research is directed
towards the study of contamination of insulator under marine pollution. The effects of various meteorological factors on the pollution severity have been investigated thoroughly. A new approach using ANN as a function estimator has
been developed and used to model accurately the relationship between ESDD
with temperature (T), humidity (H), pressure (P), rainfall (R), and wind velocity
(WV). The ANN-predicted ESDDs have been compared with the measured
ones for a practical system. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: The need for new tools to assess the environmental status of coastal and estuarine systems encouraged Borja et al. [Mar. Pollut. Bull. 40 (2000)
1100] to develop a new index, the AZTI's Marine Biotic Index (AMBI), which
needs to be tested as much as possible in different geographical areas to assess its applicability. This index was applied in the Mondego estuary (western
coast of Portugal) together with the Shannon-Wiener, Margalef, Simpson, and
W-statistic indices, which are widely used in detecting the effects of marine
pollution. Results show that, in some cases, the AMBI provides a more accurate assessment of environmental conditions than the other indices, which were influenced by the dominance of certain species, allowing us to consider it
as a promising tool to characterize marine and estuarine environmental quality. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The Florida Keys coral reef ecosystem supports multimillion-dollar
commercial and recreational fisheries. The ecological effects caused by fishing gear that is lost when cut or broken after snagging on the bottom is a
growing concern to managers and scientists. Few data exist, however, to assess the impacts of lost fishing gear to benthic organisms and habitat structure. In this study, 63 offshore coral reef and hard-bottom sites were surveyed
during 2001 to quantify the impacts of lost fishing gear to coral reef sessile invertebrates. Lost hook-and-line fishing gear accounted for 87% of all debris (N
= 298 incidences) encountered and was responsible for 84% of the 321 documented impacts to sponges and benthic cnidarians, predominantly consisting of tissue abrasion causing partial individual or colony mortality. Branching
gorgonians (Octocorallia) were the most frequently affected (56%), followed
by milleporid hydrocorals (19%) and sponges (13%). Factors affecting the impacts of lost fishing gear include sessile invertebrate density, the density of
lost fishing gear, and gear length. While lost hook-and-line fishing gear is ubiquitous in the Florida Keys, less than 0.2% of the available milleporid hydrocorals, stony corals, and gorgonians in the habitats studied are adversely affected in terms of colony abrasions and partial mortality.

Abstract: During the Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) intensive field campaign conducted in the spring of 2001,
aerosol properties were measured on board the R/V Ronald H. Brown to study
the effects of the Asian aerosol on atmospheric chemistry and climate in
downwind regions. Aerosol properties measured in the marine boundary layer
- 41 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
included chemical composition; number size distribution; and light scattering,
hemispheric backscattering, and absorption coefficients. In addition, optical
depth and vertical profiles of aerosol 180degrees backscatter were measured.
Aerosol within the ACE-Asia study region was found to be a complex mixture
resulting from marine, pollution, volcanic, and dust sources. Presented here
as a function of air mass source region are the mass fractions of the dominant
aerosol chemical components, the fraction of the scattering measured at the
surface due to each component, mass scattering efficiencies of the individual
components, aerosol scattering and absorption coefficients, single scattering
albedo, Angstrorm exponents, optical depth, and vertical profiles of aerosol
extinction. All results, except aerosol optical depth and the vertical profiles of
aerosol extinction, are reported at a relative humidity of 55+/-5%. An overdetermined data set was collected so that measured and calculated aerosol properties could be compared, internal consistency in the data set could be assessed, and sources of uncertainty could be identified. By adjusting the measured size distribution to take into account nonsphericity of the dust aerosol,
calculated and measured aerosol mass and scattering coefficients agreed
within overall experimental uncertainties. Differences between measured and
calculated aerosol absorption coefficients were not within reasonable uncertainty limits, however, and may indicate the inability of Mie theory and the assumption of internally mixed homogeneous spheres to predict absorption by
the ACE-Asia aerosol. Mass scattering efficiencies of non-sea-salt sulfate aerosol, sea salt, submicron particulate organic matter, and dust found for the
ACE-Asia aerosol are comparable to values estimated for ACE 1, Aerosols99,
and the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX). Unique to the ACE-Asia aerosol
were the large mass fractions of dust, the dominance of dust in controlling the
aerosol optical properties, and the interaction of dust with soot aerosol

Abstract: Background. Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been dispersed ubiquitously in the environment. Bottom sediments act as sinks for these
compounds and their concentrations often reflect the degree of anthropogenic
pollution. This study was designed to evaluate the occurrence and distribution
of OCPs in superficial streambed sediments and their relation to land use in
two creeks that contribute to the coastal pollution of the southeastern region of
Argentina. Methods. Sampling sites were selected by a combination of land
use and stream type. Las Brusquitas creek, which passes through vast agricultural areas, and La Tapera creek which originates in a natural wetland and
passes through horticultural farming and urban areas. OCPs quantification
was carried out by GC-ECD. Results and Discussion. Results showed similar
total OCP concentrations in sediments from both creeks in the range of 6-25
- 42 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
ng/g dry wt. However, when OCPs were expressed in ngig total organic carbon (TOC), La Tapera creek presented 4-fold higher total levels as a consequence of a higher OCP input during the recent past in that watershed. La
Tapera outfall showed 4-fold higher levels than that seen in Las Brusquitas,
although both values were below the sediment quality criteria demanded to
protect wildlife. SigmaEndosulfans, SigmaDDTs and Sigmachlordanes were
the main OCP group in all samples, with Endosulfan sulfate being the most
frequent and abundant compound. The predominance of metabolites with
respect to parent compounds suggests a contamination mainly by runoff from
aged and weathered agricultural soils. Conclusions. Despite OCPs being
banned, they still exist in creek sediments from the studied region, representing continuous contributions of land-based source contaminants to the marine
environment. Outlook. Future research on OCP levels in suspended sediments is recommended in order to determine the total OCP concentrations in
the selected stream systems

Abstract: On average, only 30-40% of the global fishery production is consumed fresh and the rest 60-70% is processed for human consumption and
other purposes. Although the proportion of the total fishery production that are
processed remained relatively stable over the last decade, the total bulk of
processed fishery commodity increased due to the steady increase in the total
fishery production. Processing of large bulk of fish, shrimp and other aquatic
organisms produces a corresponding large bulk of by-products and wastes.
Although recent trend shows that much of these wastes are made into various
value added products, considerable quantities are discharged as the processing effluents with large volume of waters used in processing. Reports suggest that fish and shrimp processing effluents are very high in biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids
(TSS), fat-oil-grease (FOG), pathogenic and other microflora, organic matters
and nutrients, etc. Fish and shrimp processing effluents are, therefore, highly
likely to produce adverse effects on the receiving coastal and marine environments. Although substantial reduction of the waste loads is possible by
applying available simple techniques, this is not in practice in most part of the
world due to lack of proper managerial and regulatory approach. The present
paper reviews the characteristics of fish and shrimp processing effluents as a
potential source of coastal and marine pollution and, using the existing data,
analyzes the global production and discharge of waste loads from the processing plants and discusses available options for waste treatment and management. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The present study clearly indicated possible prolonged and chronic
marine pollution by polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) unless the international regulatory measures are reinforced substantially. Fat tissues of female northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus), collected at 10 time periods between 1972 and 1998 from the Pacific coast of northern Japan,were analyzed
for PBDEs and organochlorine compounds (M). PCBs and DDTs were the
predominant contaminants in the fur seal samples. PBDEs were detected in
all the samples analyzed, the values ranging from 0.33 to 100 ng/g lipid wt.
with predominance of BDE-47. The lowest PBDE levels were in the fur seals
collected in 1972, with the peak concentration around 1991-1994 and then
decreased to about 50% in 1997-1998. Compositions of higher brominated
congeners increased since 1972, while some lower brominated congeners
decreased, implying a change in the pattern of use, particularly the increased
use of highly brominated diphenyl ethers during 1972-1998. In the meantime,
PCB compositions in fur seals showed no temporal variation, suggesting a
continuous input of PCBs into the marine environment in significant quantities.
As peak concentrations of PBDEs occurred later than OCs, it is essential to
follow up the patterns of PBDEs pollution that may be of great concern in the

Abstract: Boundary layers between different environmental compartments
represent critical interfaces for biological, chemical and physical processes.
The sea-surface microlayer (uppermost 1-1000 mum layer) forms the boundary layer interface between the atmosphere and ocean. Environmental processes are controlled by the SML, and it is known to play a key role in the global
distribution of anthropogenic pollutants. Due to its unique chemical composition, the upper organic film of the SML represents both a sink and a source for
a range of pollutants including chlorinated hydrocarbons, organotin compounds, petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)
and heavy metals. These pollutants can be enriched in the SML by up to 500
times relative to concentrations occurring in the underlying bulk water column.
The SML is also a unique ecosystem, serving as an important habitat for fish
eggs and larvae. Concentration ranges and enrichment factors of pollutants in
the SML in different areas of the world's oceans have been critically reviewed,
together with available toxicity data for marine biota found within the SML.
Overall, the SML is highly contaminated in many urban and industrialized
areas of the world, resulting in severe ecotoxicological impacts. Such impacts
may lead to drastic effects on the marine food web and to fishery recruitment
in coastal waters. Studies of the toxicity of fish eggs and larvae exposed to the
SML contaminants have shown that the SML in polluted areas leads to significantly higher rates of mortality and abnormality of fish embryos and larvae. (C)

Abstract: Circulating c-reactive protein (CRP) levels can be used as a bioindicator of the acute phase inflammatory response and as a possible biomarker of inflammation and neurogenic stress in vertebrates. Currently, there are
no data describing the ranges of CRP levels in sharks living in different habitats, especially habitats of differing degrees of pollution. Developing antibodies against CRP is a first and critical step towards developing sensitive methods for quantifying CRP, and thus inflammatory and stress responses in
sharks. Sharpnose shark, Rhizoprionodon terraenovae, serum C-reactive protein was purified sequentially over AH-sepharose 4B-PC and sepharose CL4B columns and used to immunize balb/c mice for generating stocks of polyclonal anti-sera. Serum samples from 131 sharpnose sharks were collected
from three different geographical regions along the coast of SC and GA, USA
- 45 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
between June and November 2002. Total CRP concentrations were quantified
by ELISA and found to be highest in the sharpnose shark population collected
in the summer from Charleston, SC, compared to Beaufort, SC and Brunswick, GA. Seasonal comparisons indicated a higher CRP concentration in the
summer of the Charleston, SC population compared to the fall. These data
suggest that sharks living in the Charleston, SC harbor estuary may be exposed to a suite of pathogens or other stressors that are different than those
found in the Beaufort, SC and Brunswick, GA estuaries. These data support
the use of CRP as a bioindicator of health status in elasmobranchs. (C) 2004

Abstract: This risk assessment on dichloromethane was carried out specifically for the marine environment, following methodology given in the EU risk assessment Regulation (1488/94) and Guidance Document of the EU New and
Existing Substances Regulation (TGD, 1997). The study consists of collection
and evaluation of data on effects and environmental concentrations from analytical monitoring programs in large rivers and estuaries in the North Sea area.
The risk is indicated by the ratio of 'predicted environmental concentrations'
(PEC) to 'predicted no- effect concentrations' (PNEC) for the marine aquatic
environment. In total, 23 studies for fish, 17 studies for invertebrates and 6
studies for algae were evaluated. Both acute and chronic toxicity studies were
taken into account and appropriate assessment factors used to define a
PNEC value of 830 mug/l. Most of the available monitoring data apply to rivers
and estuaries and were used to calculate PECs. The most recent data ( 1983
- 1995) support a typical PEC for dichloromethane lower than 0.2 mug/l and a
worst case PEC of 13.6 mug/l. Dichloromethane is not a 'toxic, persistent and
liable to bioaccumulate' substance sensu the Oslo and Paris Conventions for
the Prevention of Marine Pollution (OSPAR-DYNAMEC). The calculated
PEC/PNEC ratios give margins of 60 to 4000 between the PNEC and PEC, dilution within the sea would further increase these margins. It can be concluded that the present use of dichloromethane does not present a risk to the
marine aquatic environment

Abstract: This risk assessment on carbon tetrachloride was carried out specifically for the marine environment, according to the methodology laid down in
the European Union (EU) risk assessment Regulation ( 1488/94) and the
Technical Guidance Documents for New and Existing Substances (TGD,
1996). The Montreal Protocol on ozone depleting substances scheduled a
phase-out of carbon tetrachloride except for some essential and feedstock
uses. This study consisted of the collection and evaluation of data on effects
and environmental concentrations from analytical monitoring programs in large rivers and estuaries in the North Sea area. The risk is indicated by the ratio
of the Predicted Exposure Concentration (PEC) and the Predicted No-Effect
Concentration (PNEC) for the marine aquatic environment. In total 16 studies
for fish, 7 studies for invertebrates and 5 for algae have been evaluated. The
appropriate assessment factor has been used to calculate a PNEC of 7 mug/l
based on long-term exposure for three trophic levels. For coastal waters and
estuaries a typical and worst case PEC of 0.003 and 0.31 mug/l are derived.
For river waters a typical and worst case PEC of 0.02 and 0.12 mug/l are derived, respectively. These ratios, which do not take into account any dilution
within the sea, correspond to safety margins from 25 to 2500 between the
aquatic effect and the exposure concentration. Carbon tetrachloride does not
meet the criteria of 'toxic, persistent and liable to bioaccumulate' substances
as mentioned by the Oslo and Paris Conventions for the Prevention of Marine
Pollution (OSPAR-DYNAMEC). It can be concluded that the present use of
carbon tetrachloride does not present a risk to the marine aquatic environment

Abstract: This risk assessment on 1,1,1-trichloroethane was carried out specifically for the marine environment, accordingly to the methodology laid down
in the EU risk assessment Regulation (1488/94) and the Guidance Document
- 47 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
of the EU New and Existing Substances Regulation (TGD, 1996). 1,1,1trichloroethane is being phased out of most uses because of its ozone depletion potential (ODP) under the Montreal Protocol. Production for emissive
uses has already been phased out end 1995 in Europe and 1996 in the United
States, Japan and other industrial countries. The risk assessment study consists of the collection and evaluation of data on effects and environmental
concentrations from analytical monitoring programmes in large rivers and estuaries in the North Sea area. The risk is indicated by the ratio of the Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC) and the Predicted No-Effect Concentration (PNEC) for the marine aquatic environment. In total 14 studies for fish,
7 studies for invertebrates and 9 studies for algae have been evaluated. Both
acute and chronic studies have been taken into account and the appropriate
assessment factors have been used to calculate a PNEC value of 21 mug/l
based on long term exposure. The PEC was derived from monitoring data.
The PEC was set at 0.206 mug/l ( worst case) and 0.024 mug/l ( typical case)
for coastal waters and estuaries and 0.6 mug/l ( worst case) and < 0.1 &mu;g/l
( typical case) for river waters. The calculated PEC/PNEC ratios, which do not
take into account any dilution factor within the sea, correspond to a safety
margin of 35 to 1000 between the aquatic effect and the exposure concentration. 1,1,1-trichloroethane is not a 'toxic, persistent and liable to bioaccumulate' substance according to the criteria as mentioned by the Oslo and Paris

Abstract: This risk assessment on monochlorobenzene was carried out for
the marine environment, following methodology given in the EU risk assessment Regulation (1488/94) and Guidance Document of the EU New and Existing Substances Regulation (TGD, 1996). Data from analytical monitoring programmes in large rivers and estuaries in the North Sea area were collected

by the ratio of predicted environmental concentration (PEC) to predicted noeffect concentration (PNEC) for the marine aquatic environment. In total, 27
data for fish, 24 data for invertebrates and 13 data for algae were evaluated.
Acute and chronic toxicity studies were taken into account and appropriate
assessment factors used to define a final PNEC value of 32 mug/l. Recent
monitoring data indicate that monochlorobenzene levels in surface waters are
below determination limits of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 mug/l used in monitoring programs.
Assuming that half of the lowest determination ( 0.1 mug/l) is typical, a PEC of
0.05 mug/l was derived. A worst case of 0.5 mug/l is assumed. PEC/PNEC ratios give safety factors of 60 to over 500, taking no account of dilution in the
sea. Monochlorobenzene is not a 'toxic, persistent and liable to bioaccumulate' substance sensu the Oslo and Paris Conventions for the Prevention of Marine Pollution (OSPAR-DYNAMEC) criteria.

Abstract: During the past two decades, a variety of histopathological alterations in fish and bivalves have been developed and used as biomarkers in pollution monitoring. Some of these have been successfully adopted in major national monitoring programmes, while others. although show promise, are still
in the experimental stage. This paper critically reviews the scientific basis,
cause and effect relationship, reliability, advantages and limitations of 14 histo-cytopathological biomarkers. The usefulness and practical application of
each biomarker have been evaluated against a number of objective criteria including: ecological relevance, sensitivity, specificity, dose-response relationship, confounding factors, technical difficulties and cost-effectiveness. (C) 2004

Abstract: The Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) is an endangered species found only in the Hawaiian Island chain. The largest subpopulation, at French Frigate Shoals, has been in decline since 1989. In order to assess organochlorine (OC) levels in the Hawaiian monk seals, whole blood and
blubber samples were collected in 1999 from 46 free-ranging Hawaiian monk
seals at French Frigate Shoals, and were analyzed for eight dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as well as six other PCB congeners, DDT and
DDT metabolites. Average levels of the total PCBs in blood samples from
adult mate, juvenile and reproductive female groups were 4800, 4000 and
3000 ng/g lipid wt., respectively, whereas 3200, 1300 and 1200 ng/g, respectively, in blubber from the three corresponding groups. p,p'-DDE was the only
DDT detected in blubber samples, and no DDTs were detected in blood samples. Concentrations of the total PCBs in adult males were significantly higher
than the levels measured in either reproductive females or juveniles. There
were significant correlations between age and blubber p,p'-DDE, estimated
mass and total blood PCBs or blubber p,p'-DDE, and body condition and total
blood PCBs. Although it is clear that the Hawaiian monk seal has been exposed to OCs, it is unclear what biological effects, if any, these xenobiotics may
have on the animals. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: The Clean Seas project focused on the role that existing Earth observing satellites might play in monitoring marine pollution. Results are presented here from August 1997, for the North Sea test site, using sea surface
temperature (SST), colour and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images in conjunction with a hydrodynamic model. There was good correlation between data sources, e. g. between SST and ERS-2 SAR images. Both datasets showed the development of fine plume structures close to the Rhine outflow, apparently associated with the outflow, and possibly caused by tidal pulsing of
the Rhine Plume. The model reproduced general temperature and sediment
distributions well, but fine structures were not reproduced. Model sediment
distribution patterns were verified using 'chlorophyll concentration' data from
colour sensors, representative of sediment concentration in turbid water. In
conjunction with the visible channels of the Advanced Very High Resolution
Radiometer and Along-Track Scanning Radiometer, they give an uncalibrated
measure of the sediment load. The model gives a more complete picture of
the temporal dispersion of the Rhine Plume over time than is evident from the
remotely sensed data alone

Abstract: Anguilla anguilla L. were exposed to 0.3, 0.9 and 2.7 muM betanaphthoflavone (BNF) as well as to clean water (control) for 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24,
48, 72, 144 and 216 hours under laboratorial conditions. Genotoxic responses
were determined as blood and liver DNA strand breaks by alkaline DNA unwinding technique. Genotoxicity measured as blood DNA integrity decrease
was found after 8 hours exposure to 2.7 muM BNF, as well as after 48 and 72
hours exposure to 0.9 muM BNF. In the liver, DNA integrity decrease was observed after 24 hours exposure to 0.9 muM BNF and after 6, 8, 16, or 24
hours exposure to 2.7 muM. Liver DNA of Anguilla anguilla L. was more sensitive to BNF exposure compared to blood DNA

Abstract: Bivalve molluscs are filter feeders, with pearl oysters able to filter
water at rates up to 25 1 h(-1) g(-1) of dry wt. tissue. Since this process leads
to rapid bioaccumulation of recalcitrant pollutants such as heavy metals, organochlorine pesticides and hydrocarbons from impacted sites, it has prompted the widespread use of molluscs as biomonitors to quantify levels of marine
pollution. This paper proposes pearl oyster deployment as a novel bioremediation technology for impacted sites to remove toxic contaminants, reduce
nutrient loads and lower concentrations of microbial pathogens. Estimates extrapolated from the literature suggest that a modest pearl oyster farm of 100 t
oyster material per year could remove 300 kg heavy metals plus 24 kg of organic contaminants via deposition into the tissue and shell. Furthermore, it
was estimated that up to 19 kg of nitrogen may be removed from the coastal

ecosystem per tonne of pearl oyster harvested. Pearl oysters are also likely to
filter substantial amounts of sewage associated microbial pathogens from the
water column. Method of cultivation and site selection are the key to minimising negative environmental impacts of bivalve cultivation. Deployment of oysters at sites with high nutrient and contaminant loadings would be advantageous, as these compounds would be removed from the ecosystem whilst
generating a value-added product. Future potential may exist for harvesting
bio-concentrated elements for commercial production. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: The oceans play an important role as a global reservoir and ultimate sink of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls congeners (PCBs). However, the physical and biogeochemical variables that affect the oceanic capacity to retain PCBs show an important spatial
and temporal variability which have not been studied in detail, so far. The objective of this paper is to assess the seasonal and spatial variability of the
ocean's maximum capacity to act as a reservoir of atmospherically transported and deposited PCBs. A level I fugacity model is used which incorporates
the environmental variables of temperature, phytoplankton biomass, and
mixed layer depth, as determined from remote sensing and from climatological datasets. It is shown that temperature, phytoplankton biomass and mixed
layer depth influence the potential PCB reservoir of the oceans, being phytoplankton biomass specially important in the oceanic productive regions. The
ocean's maximum capacities to hold PCBs are estimated. They are compared
to a budget of PCBs in the surface oceans derived using a level III model that
assumes steady state and which incorporates water column settling fluxes as
a loss process. Results suggest that settling fluxes will keep the surface
oceanic reservoir of PCBs well below its maximum capacity, especially for the
more hydrophobic compounds. The strong seasonal and latitudinal variability
of the surface ocean's storage capacity needs further research, because it
plays an important role in the global biogeochemical cycles controlling the ultimate sink of PCBs. Because this modeling exercise incorporates variations
in downward fluxes driven by phytoplankton and the extent of the water column mixing, it predicts more complex latitudinal variations in PCBs concentrations than those previously suggested. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The assessment of environmental pollution of the coastal areas of
the Malaysian Peninsula was done by analyzing the contents of the heavy and
trace elements in the bivalves blood clams (Anadara granosa) and green
mussels (Perna viridis) and sediments at twenty-two sampling stations to look
for prevailing trends. Heavy and trace elements analyzed in this study were
As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Se and Zn. Two techniques, namely the neutron activation
analysis (NAA) and atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) were used in
the quantitative determination of the heavy metals while Marine Sediment Reference Material (BCSS) and Lobster Hepatopancreas (TORT-1) provided the
certified reference materials in the quality assurance control. The potential use
of these bivalves as suitable bio-indicators was evaluated from correlation
tests based on the concentrations of heavy and trace elements in the sediment-metals system to those in the bivalves

Abstract: An assessment of marine pollution due to metals was made in the
Caspian Sea based on coastal sediment collected in Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan. Despite the high carbonate content, the
distribution of most metals was largely controlled by terrigenous inputs. Several metals (As, Cr, Ni) exhibited concentrations that exceed sediment quality
guidelines. Such metals have a high natural background but anthropogenic
activities, notably mining, may further enhance concentrations. This would explain hot spots for Cu and Zn in Azerbaijan and Iran, and Cr at the mouth of
the Ural River in Kazakhstan. Contamination by Hg was observed to the south
of Baku Bay, Azerbaijan. Some anomalously high concentrations of Ba in the
central Caspian are probably from offshore drilling operations, but the elevated U concentrations (up to 11.1 mug g(-1)) may be natural in origin. Several
metals (Ag, Cd, Pb) have relatively low levels that pose no environmental
concerns. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: In order to develop a viable foraminiferal proxy for heavy metal pollutants, juvenile specimens of Rosalina leei were subjected to different mercury concentrations (0-180 ng/l). Initially considerable growth was observed in
specimens kept in saline water having a mercury concentration up to 100 ng/l.
But with the gradual increase in concentration of mercury the growth rate started decreasing. Total growth achieved was significantly lower in case of specimens kept at relatively higher mercury concentrations then those maintained
in normal saline water. The most significant result of this experiment was the
addition of abnormal chambers in the specimens kept at higher mercury concentration. Later the specimens kept at highest concentration (180 ng/l) were
subjected to progressively increasing concentration of mercury to see the further effects and it was found that the specimens were still living at as high a
mercury concentration as 260 ng/l although there was no growth. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Marine sand and seawater samples were collected in March 2002
from Laysan Island in the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, where a
small area was contaminated by the carbamate insecticide carbofuran. Carbofuran was still detected at mugg(-1) levels in the Laysan sand after its identification in 1998 and initial observation of the toxicity in 1988. The persistence of
carbofuran in the marine sand was investigated in the dark in a 30 C oven,
and in distilled deionized water and seawater samples exposed to artificial
300 ran light and to direct sunlight. The laboratory study showed a half-life
(t(1/2)) of approximately 40 days for carbofuran in the native sand and in Ottawa sand. The photolysis of carbofuran was faster in seawater than in distilled deionized water when it was exposed to 300 nm light (t(1/2), 0.1 vs. 3.1 h)
and to direct sunlight (t(1/2), 7.5 vs. 41.6 h). The large difference between the
laboratory results and the field observation of carbofuran dissipation suggests
that carbofuran degradation at the remote, undisturbed marine site may be
governed by its unique environmental factors. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

- 58 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
ture update is given for the period 1995-2001. An analysis of the publications
cited is used to provide 10 refined criteria for selecting parasites as indicator/monitor species. Previously unpublished data on Diclidophora merlangi
and Dictyocotyle coeliaca confirm their value as potential indicators of hydrocarbon pollution in the North Sea. An extensive knowledge of D. merlangi is
summarised to emphasize its potential value as an indicator species and also
to encourage studies on the health status and immune responses of its host
when subjected to pollutant stressors and infection with this monogenean. A
discussion focuses on publications which have reported significant recent advances in this area of research and also on accompanying issues, problems
and controversies. These selected publications are used to suggest species,
stages in the development of species and assemblages of species worthy of
further more detailed investigations into their value as indicators/monitors of
pollution. It is predicted that further good progress will be made when contaminants can be accurately identified, their precise effects on both host and parasite can be measured by histochemical and biological methods and the roles of contaminants and parasites in causing disease can be assessed separately.

Abstract: Bangladesh has vast coastal and marine resources along its south
edge. Due to the geographical position and climatic condition, the coastal area
of the country is known as one of the highly productive areas of the world.
Bangladesh is rich not only in terms of its vast water areas but also in terms of
the biological diversity. One of the unique features of the coastal areas is the
influence of the mangrove forests, which support a high number of fishes and
other commercially important aquatic organisms. The biological and ecological
values of the Bay of Bengal have been pointed out by many authors. The
coastal and marine fisheries have been playing considerable roles not only in
the social and economic development of the country but also in the regional
ecological balance. A large number of commercially important fishes have
long been exploited which are of high export values. Shrimp aquaculture has
become a highly traded export-oriented industry for the last few decades. In
spite of having bright prospects, marine aquaculture on a commercial basis as
well as marine stock enhancement and sea ranching are yet to be developed.
The marine fisheries sector has been suffering from chronic disintegration and
mismanagement that have led to many consequences. Most of the commercially important fish stocks are either overexploited or under threat. Marine pollution has reached a level that could create an unmanageable situation in the
near future; coastal shrimp farming has generated considerable debates due
to its adverse environmental and socioeconomic impacts. The Bay of Bengal
and its coastal areas are, one of the most poorly studied areas of the world
although it possesses high potential for further stock improvement. Proper at-
- 59 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
tention is needed in every aspect of exploitation, handling and processing, export and marketing as well as in biological and institutional management strategies. The Bay of Bengal has been increasingly important for local development as well as for a global perspective. The coastal and marine fisheries of
the Bay of Bengal are briefly reviewed in this paper to provide a salient feature
of the available information and resource base and to identify future research
and management needs. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Marine fouling is the result of the settling and subsequent growth of
organisms on surfaces immersed in seawater, Fouling of ships' hulls has been
traditionally controlled through the use of toxic antifouling paints, but increased ecological awareness and the strict regulations of biocides used in such
paints have led to the development of low toxic content or non-toxic coatings
to control fouling. Results of investigations on the performance of five antifouling formulations in exposure trials carried out at Mar del Plata harbour (Argentina) are presented. The tests have revealed that these paints, which were
formulated with a combination of a thin layer or shell of toxic pigment (cuprous
thiocyanate) surrounding a core particle of non-toxic pigment (herein termed
core-shell pigments), prevented the settlement of foulers, reducing costs and
marine pollution

Abstract: Concentrations of trace elements and organic pollutants were determined in marine sediments and molluscs from the Mediterranean and Red
Sea coasts of Israel. Two bivalve species (Donax trunculus, Pteria aegyptia),
two gastropod species (Patella caerulea, Cellana rota) and sediments were
sampled at polluted and relatively clean, reference, sites. Along the Mediterranean coast of Israel, sediments and molluscs from Haifa Bay stations were
enriched with both organic and trace element contaminants. In the Red Sea,
differences between the polluted and reference sites were less pronounced.
Bio-concentration factors indicate a significant concentration of Zn, As, Cd, Sn
and Pb in animal tissue relative to the concentrations of these elements in the
sediments. In contrast, Ce, La and U were not concentrated in molluscs. The
trace element results indicate a saturation of the detoxification mechanisms in
molluscs from polluted sites. The concentrations of organic pollutants at the
same sites are at the lower range of values recorded in other studies. However, synergistic effects between these compounds and between them and metals can lead to acute toxicity

Abstract: Eight sandy beaches on Malta and two on Gozo were sampled for
macrofauna to test the hypothesis that Maltese beaches have an intrinsically
low diversity. Stations distributed in the supralittoral (dry zone), mediolittoral
(wet zone) and upper infralittoral (submerged zone to I in water depth) were,sampled by sieving core samples and standardised searching during day
time,and pitfall trapping and standardised sweeping of the water column using
a hand-net at night, as appropriate. Physical parameters of the sediment were
measured and human occupancy of the beaches was estimated. From the
supralittoral and mediolittoral, 39 species represented by I 5,84:individuals
were collected by the combined techniques of pitfall trapping, sieving and
standard searching. For Ramla beach, which had the highest diversity, 267
individuals representing 25 infaunal species were collected by sieving from a
combined volume of 1.175 m(3) of sand, and 149 individuals representing 28
epifaunal species were collected by standardised searching from a combined
area,of 700 m(2) of sand during two winter and,two summer sampling sessions between 11992 and 1993. For nine other beaches sampled during the
summer of 2000, only six macrofaunal species were collected from core samples, with overall population densities ranging from 4.13 to 45.45 individuals

and staphylinid beetles generally abundant on Mediterranean sandy beaches,
were entirely absent from the beaches sampled. Few correlations that,could
explain the impoverishment of Maltese sandy beaches were found between,physical parameters and faunal abundances, and other factors such as
inadequate sampling effort, human disturbance and marine pollution were also excluded; however, seasonally biased sampling may partly explain the results obtained. One factor that may explain why certain species are missing
could be lack of recruitment, due to Malta's geographical isolation from the
European and African mainlands. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The small mysid crustacean Neomysis awatschensis was collected
in the west coast of Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao, China in 1992 and acclimated
and cultured in laboratory conditions since then. Standard acute toxicity tests
using 4-6 d juvenile mysids of this species were conducted and the results
were compared with Mysidopsis bahia, a standard toxicity test organism used
in the US in terms of their sensitivities to reference toxins, as well as their
taxonomy, morphology and geographic distributions. Because of its wide distribution along the Chinese coast, similar sensitivity to pollutants as M. bahia,
short life history, small size and the case of handling, this study intended to
use N. awatschensis as one of the standard marine organisms for toxicity testing in China. The species were applied to acute toxicity evaluations of drilling
fluid and its additives I organotin TPT and toxic algae, and to chronic ( life cycle) toxicity assays of organotin TPT and a toxic dinofalgellate Alexandrium
tamarense, respectively. Using N, awatschensis as a standard toxicity testing
organism in marine pollution assessment in China is suggested

Abstract: In the last decade a great number of studies have been directed
especially to the evaluation of the environmental impact of heavy metal concentration levels in coral barriers. Related to studies in scleractinian corals,
many chemical techniques have been proposed to determine heavy metals
but Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) is the most widely used; however,
regarding sample pretreatment methods there is not a unique criterion on the
requirements to obtain the precise and accurate results needed in this analysis. So, in this paper the application of several widely used pretreatment methods for digestion of corals and sediments were studied in which HNO3, HCl
and HClO4 are used in different conditions (concentration, temperature, etc.),
with the aim of comparing their efficiency. The method in which a combination
of HNO3 and HClO4 was used resulted the most effective one. A 2(2) experimental design was carried out to study the influence of the HNO3 volume as
well as to optimize the HNO3:HClO4 mixture. Finally the method was validated using reference certificate material (SOIL-7) using the NIST accuracy test
and applying it in the analyses of different coral samples which produced results with appropriate analytical quality

Abstract: A standardisation of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis embryo-larval
bioassay for marine pollution assessment has been developed. The minimum
percentage of embryogenesis success was established to assess the quality
of the biological material used; minimum sample size and number of replicates per treatment were also estimated. The suitability of artificial and natural
seawater for the incubation of ascidian embryos and larvae was compared,
and the optimum conditions of temperature, salinity, pH, density of embryos in
the vials and the sperm/egg ratio were investigated. On the basis of the 10th
percentile of the distribution of larval abnormalities, we proposed a threshold
of 50% normal larvae in the control in order to consider the test of acceptable
biological quality. According to our results n = 5 is a sufficiently high replication to detect 5% differences among treatment means with a power of P =
90% and alpha = 0.05, and a sampling size greater than or equal to222 allows
a 95% confidence in the estimate with an error of 0.05. Egg density did not affect larval development within the range 1-20 eggs/ml, and the optimum
sperm/egg ratio which fertilise 100% of the eggs was 3000-30,000 sperm/egg
(i.e. 10(8)-10(7) sperm/ml). There were not significant differences between the
two water types tested, and the optimum tolerance ranges were 18-23 degreesC temperature, 34-42 ppt salinity (42 ppt was the highest salinity tested),
- 63 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
and 7.4-8.8 pH. The median effective concentration (EC50) of copper (Cu)
causing a 50% reduction of normal hatched larvae was 54.2 mug/l (0.85
muM), which shows a sensitivity of this species similar to the commonly used
bivalve and sea-urchin tests. The ascidian embryo-larval bioassay is an accurate, reliable, simple and rapid method that can be used in ecotoxicological
studies. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: We have examined trends in marine pollution research in South
Africa over the past 40 years, based on analyses of the primary literature.
There has been a striking decline in the quantity of research outputs in the
past two decades. New initiatives are needed to rebuild a research culture in
this discipline

Abstract: The Mediterranean environment is exposed to various hazards, including oil spills, forest fires, and floods, making the development of a decision support system (DSS) for emergency management an objective of utmost importance. The present work presents a complete DSS for managing
marine pollution events caused by oil spills. The system provides all the necessary tools for early detection of oil-spills from satellite images, monitoring
of their evolution, estimation of the accident consequences and provision of
support to responsible Public Authorities during clean-up operations. The
heart of the system is an image processing-geographic information system
and other assistant individual software tools that perform oil spill evolution si-
- 64 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
mulation and all other necessary numerical calculations as well as cartographic and reporting tasks related to a specific management of the oil spill event.
The cartographic information is derived from the extant general maps representing detailed information concerning several regional environmental and
land-cover characteristics as well as financial activities of the application area.
Early notification of the authorities with up-to-date accurate information on the
position and evolution of the oil spill, combined with the detailed coastal maps,
is of paramount importance for emergency assessment and effective clean-up
operations that would prevent environmental hazard. An application was
developed for the Region of Crete, an area particularly vulnerable to oil spills
due to its location, ecological characteristics, and local economic activities

Abstract: We coordinated a collaborative research project to investigate environmental conditions in Vancouver Harbour, British Columbia, Canada, between 23 May and 7 June 1999. This special volume of Marine Environmental
Research presents a collection of papers giving results of these studies. The
project was part of a practical workshop sponsored by the Marine Environmental Quality (MEQ) committee of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES). Twenty-four scientists from PICES countries (USA, Canada,
Russia, Japan, Korea, and China) participated. A wide variety of data was collected, including community structure of benthic invertebrates and fish, evaluation of fish health using biological markers and exposure data, evaluation
of contaminant exposure in inter-tidal invertebrates, imposex in gastropods,
and information about natural toxins produced by algae. The workshop provided an opportunity for PICES participants to gain an improved appreciation of
the approaches and techniques used by other member countries to assess
the effects of marine pollution. The purpose of this introductory paper is to
briefly describe the project, provide background information on how it was organized, and give an overview of our knowledge about the harbour's environment. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd

Abstract: The decomposition and the recovery of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) using marine phytoplankton were demonstrated as one of the
possible bioremediation methods. Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate and bisphenol A
tended to gradually accumulate into the plankton cells during incubation. Furthermore, the recovery of bisphenol A from the synthetic seawater was achieved using a marine pollutant collecting model (eco-system) that combined
phyto- and zooplanktons. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: A field measurement and computer modeling effort was made to
assess the dilution field of pulped waste materials discharged into the wake of
a US Navy frigate. Pulped paper and fluorescein dye were discharged from
the frigate's pulper at known rates. The subsequent particle and dye concen-
- 66 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
tration field was then measured throughout the wake by a following vessel
using multiple independent measures. Minimum dilution of the pulped paper
reached 3.2 x 10(5) within 1900 in behind the frigate, or about 8 min after discharge. Independent measures typically agreed within 25% of one another
and within 20% of model predictions. Minimum dilution of dye reached 2.3 x
10(5) at a down-wake distance of approximately 3500 in, or roughly 15 min.
Comparison to model measurements were again within 20%. The field test
was not only successful at characterizing wake dilution under one set of atsea conditions, but was successful at validating the computer model used for
assessing a wide range of ships and conditions. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All

Abstract: The primary problems concerning water resources in Sri Lanka are
the depletion and degradation of the resource caused by Various anthropogenic activities. Surface inland-waters in urban areas are polluted heavily with
domestic sewage and industrial effluents, and in rural areas with agricultural
runoff. With regard to ground water in certain areas of the dry zone, there is a
high fluoride content and in hard, rocky, alluvial areas, there is a-high concentration of iron. In urban over-crowded cities, there is biological contamination
of ground-water. Over-utilization, particularly through tube wells, is another
major problem affecting ground water resources in Sri Lanka; Oil spills, dumping of waste from ships, coral and sand mining, and industrial activities are
the main causes of marine pollution in the country. Except,for pipe-borne water supply, irrigation and hydropower schemes, in general water resources in
Sri Lanka are managed very poorly. Regulations are available to control most
water related problems but enforcement of these regulations is lacking. The
ultimate result of degradation and depletion of water resources is the increasing health hazards. Water-borne and vector-borne diseases are prevalent,
particularly amongst urban low-income communities with poor sanitary facilities and drainage. Despite government initiatives and legislation, very slow
progress has been made towards combating water pollution. This paperexamines the most significant water and wastewater related issues in Sri Lanka and their controlling mechanisms

Abstract: Coastal areas are prone to varying degrees of anthropogenic chemical contamination. In many coastal environments experiencing reducing
conditions in the water column, nitrite is produced as a result of denitrification.
With a view to determining the effect of a natural stress such as the presence
of nitrite in water on the xenobiotic metabolism in fish, the euryhaline cichlid
Oreochromis mossambicus was exposed for up to 9 days to environmentally
relevant concentrations of water-borne nitrite and phenanthrene, a polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbon. Analyses of different biomarkers in the treated fish indicated significant increase in the metabolism of phenanthrene as a result of
exposure to nitrite. For example, the activity of the biotransformation enzyme
measured as 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity was, in the presence of
1 muM nitrite, nearly twice that produced by phenanthrene alone. Similarly, biliary fixed fluorescence values reflecting phenanthrene and its metabolites were rendered 1.7 times higher when exposed simultaneously to nitrite. Contact
with nitrite and phenanthrene together also led to severe hepatic damage with
possible cell death as inferred from the large enhancement in sorbitol dehydrogenase activity in the serum and reduced liver somatic index. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

sea-urchin and ascidian sediment elutriate embryo-larval bioassays. Trace
metal contents in seawater, sediments and mussels were also determined
and subjected to multidimensional scaling methods which grouped stations
according to chemical contamination. High metal contents were found in seawater, sediments and mussels from the Ria of Pontevedra, and moderate le-

Abstract: This study presents a bio-economic model in which the dynamics of
a fishery are affected by marine pollution both directly and indirectly. From the
optimality analysis it can be seen that, as long as a contaminating sector
exists near coastal areas, the policy on fish resource harvest will be more intense initially (when the environmental situation is better) and less intense in
subsequent periods, that is, the fish resource will be managed as if it were a
non-renewable resource. It will be also shown that, while the effect of pollution
coexists with resource exploitation, the resource stock cannot be thought of as
being in a stationary state, which leads the regulator to adopt a policy whereby the release of pollutants can be better controlled

Abstract: The aim of this study was to make a diagnosis of coastal pollution
through bacteriological analysis of water taken from stormwater drain systems
and the nearby seashore. The results were submitted to statistical analysis as
to differences in the Most Probable Number (MPN) of fecal coliform (FC)
found between the stormwater drain systems and adjacent seashore locations
both at low and high tides. The main conclusions were: (a) most water samples collected from the stormwater systems presented MPN values for FC
above 1,000 per 100 ml; (b) only 20% of the samples from the adjacent seashore presented MPN values for FC above 1,000 per 100 ml, a fact which may
be explained by the distance between the drain system outlets and the actual
seashore; (c) FC/100 ml values were invariably higher in the stormwater drain
systems than in seawater; (d) out of the 180 strains isolated, 118 were Escherichia coli; (e) the highest in-sewer pollution rate was found at the sampling location in front of Imperial Othon Palace Hotel (IO-SEW), characterized by the
presence of an everlasting puddle, while the most polluted seawater sample
was taken in front of Statue of Iracema (SI-SEA); (g) the high tide regime enhances the chance of pollution of the coastal zone by fecal coliforms; (h) the
high pollution indices by fecal coliforms can only be accounted for by the existence of illegal sewage pipelines connected to the stormwater drain systems

Abstract: The mytilid mussel Perna viridis is distributed throughout the IndoPacific region and is potentially a suitable candidate for biological effects
(biomarker) monitoring in the subtropics. A suite of cytological and physiological responses to acute (48-72 h) copper exposures of 50-200 mug 1(-1) were
assessed in order to determine the suitability of P. viridis for marine pollution
monitoring. Copper elicited significant destabilisation of the haemocyte lysosomal membranes and also impaired phagocytosis. Survival during emersion
following exposure to copper was not related to the experimental copper exposures suggesting that higher metal concentrations may be required to interfere with anaerobic enzymes responsible for suppression of metabolism. Based on this preliminary study, cytological biomarkers evaluated in the haemocytes extracted from P. viridis should prove an effective non-destructive
means of assessing metal pollution throughout the mussels subtropical range.

- 71 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
analytical chemistry of seawater and sediments, bioaccumulation in the marine mussel, and embryo-larval sediment toxicity bioassays, in order to link biological and chemical criteria for the assessment of coastal pollution. Maximum
values of Hg and Cu in seawater, sediment and mussels, were found in the
inner part of Ria of Pontevedra, while maximum levels of organics (polychlorinated biphenyls, hexachlorobenzene and aldrin) were found in mussels from
A Coruna. Outstanding values of Cu, Pb and Zn have been found in seawater
and sediment from a single site, P3, which also was the most toxic in the
embryo-larval bioassays performed with four different phyla of marine organisms: mollusks, echinoderms, arthropods and chordates. Sediment quality
effects range-median values provided a valuable reference to predict biological effects from sediment chemistry data, while effects range-low values were
too conservative. Sediment toxicity could also be predicted by using a toxicunit model based on published EC50 values for trace metals and mobilization
factors independently obtained from measurements of metal contents in sediments and their elutriates. When chemical and toxicological data are independently used to arrange sampling sites by using non-metric multidimensional scaling, a remarkable degree of concordance between both types of configurations could be observed.

Abstract: Oceanic circulation patterns deposit significant amounts of marine
pollution, including derelict fishing gear from North Pacific Ocean fisheries, in
the Hawaiian Archipelago [Mar. Pollut. Bull. 42(12) (2001) 1301]. Management responsibility for these islands and their associated natural resources is
shared by several government authorities. Non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) and private industry also have interests in the archipelago. Since the
marine debris problem in this region is too large for any single agency to manage, a multiagency marine debris working group (group) was established in
1998 to improve marine debris mitigation in Hawaii. To date, 16 federal, state,
and local agencies, working with industry and NGOs, have removed 195 tons
of derelict fishing gear from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. This review
details the evolution of the partnership, notes its challenges and rewards, and
advocates its continued use as an effective resource management tool. (C)

Abstract: Correlations between the spatial distribution of soft-sediment assemblages and environmental variables were evaluated at a number of control and potentially impacted locations (waste dumps, a sewage outfall and a
wharf) at Casey Station, East Antarctica. Patterns of assemblage composition
were compared with patterns of environmental variables using univariate and
multivariate techniques. The utility of these methods, however, is uncertain in
areas of significant habitat heterogeneity (at scales < 10 m), such as at Casey
Station. A number of environmental variables were measured to determine
their potential influence on assemblage structure including sediment heavy
metal concentrations, total organic carbon (TOC), grain size and depth. Softsediment assemblages clustered strongly into two groups and this pattern was
found to be most highly correlated with concentrations of heavy metals of
anthropogenic origin: cadmium, copper, lead, tin and zinc. The relationship,
however, is complex and is likely to be further influenced by variables affecting the bioavailability of metals such as grain size, TOC and sediment anoxia.
Impacted locations were characterised by fewer taxa, lower diversity and lower species richness. One of the control locations was found to have naturally
high levels of cadmium, nickel and zinc and had assemblages very similar to
those at the potentially impacted, polluted locations. One of the potentially impacted locations had coarse sediments and low levels of heavy metals but
had assemblages very similar to other impacted locations. Problems of sampling design for human impacts detection in real world situations are discussed in relation to this study. This study provides evidence that these multivariate statistical methods are useful in heterogeneous environments and across
pollution gradients where pollutants have the potential to act as a primary
cause of spatial variation in assemblage structure. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science

Abstract: Winter Quarters Bay (WQB) is a small embayment located adjacent
- 73 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
to McMurdo Station, the largest research base in Antarctica. The bay is approximately 250 m wide and long, with a maximum depth of 33 m. Historically,
trash from the McMurdo Station was piled on the steep shoreline of WQB,
doused with fuel and ignited. That practice has ceased, and the adjacent land
area has been regraded to cover the residual waste. The bottom of WQB remains littered with drums, equipment, tanks, tires, cables, and other objects,
especially the southeastern side of the bay where dumping took place. Sediments are contaminated with PCBs, metals, and hydrocarbon fuels. The objectives of this study were to map the distribution of organic contaminants in
WQB, assess the toxicity of WQB sediments using a simple microbial test,
and determine correlations between toxicity and contaminant levels. The study suggests that adverse ecological effects have occurred from one or more
of the contaminants found in WQB but the source of the toxic impacts to bay
sediments remains unknown. Whole sediment toxicity was only correlated with
oil-equivalent while solvent extracts of sediments were correlated with PAHs
and oil-equivalent. The authors recommend that an integrated research plan
be developed that focuses on determining what additional information is needed to make informed decisions on possible remediation of WQB

Abstract: Mutagens in the environment may represent a long-term risk for
ecosystems. The reproductive potential of populations can be affected by alterations in the fecundity and offspring viability caused by germ cell mutations.
Despite the ecological relevance of these effects, there are few studies on
germ cell mutagenicity in natural populations. Biomphalaria glabrata was chosen for this study because of the scarcity of data on freshwater invertebrates
and the ecological importance of this group. The aim of this study was to establish a germ cell mutagenicity test in B. glabrata by using a similar approach
to that used in the dominant lethal test in rodents. Mitomycin C was used as a
direct mutagen and cyclophosphamide as a mutagen that requires metabolic
activation. Wild-type snails were exposed for 10 days to three concentrations
of each agent and crossed with non-exposed albino snails at the end of the
treatment. The total frequencies of malformations were analyzed in the offspring of wild-type snails; among the offspring of albino snails, only the heterozygous wild-type embryos were analyzed for malformations. Both agents induced germ cell mutations. The analysis of the offspring of the wild-type snails
showed an effect of the exposure up to approximately 5 days after the end of
- 74 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
the treatment with cyclophosphamide; the effect of mitomycin C was observed
until 45 days after the end of the exposure. There was an increase in the frequencies of malformations in the wild-type offspring of the non-exposed albino
snails crossed with the wild-type snails exposed to both agents. The dominant
lethal test in B. glabrata proposed in this work is easy to perform, efficient,
specific and sensitive in the evaluation of germ cell mutations induced by reference mutagens. The possibility of expanding its use to environmental biomonitoring studies seems very promising and worth trying. (C) 2003 Elsevier

Abstract: While the Azov and Black seas are subject to anthropogenic pollution to a much higher extent than any other seas, this has been little studied
with only a few critical reviews of contaminant fluxes to these seas. Riverine
fluxes of the organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)
and DDT to the Azov and Black seas from the former Soviet Union and Russian Federation were thus reviewed for 1986 to 1996. The review was based
on official data and data obtained by independent specialists. The amount of
HCH used, and the intensity of usage, in these river catchments decreased
during the review period. Concurrently, OCP concentrations in the rivers and
their fluxes also decreased according to both official and independent data. A
comparison of the official and the independent data sets for 1988 revealed
significant differences, reflecting the need for more rigorous sampling and
analytical protocols for both data sets. According to the OGSNK/GSN data,
the flux fates of the five largest rivers were ranked (from largest to smallest) as
follows: Don > Dnestr > Danube > Kuban > Dnepro (ce-HCH); Danube > Don
> Dnestr > Dnepro > Kuban (y-HCH); Dnestr > Danube > Don > DneproKuban (DDT+DDE). For rivers with lower annual riverine discharges, the DDT
fluxes were surprisingly high (0.43 to 1.49 tonnes a(-1)). According to independent data for 1988 the rankings of the rivers was: Danube> Don> Dnepro>
Dnestr> Kuban (gamma-HCH); Darmbe> Don> Dnestr>Dnepro> Kuban
(gamma-HCH); Danube> Dnepro>Dnestr> Don> Kuban (DDT); Danube>Dnepro>Don>Kuban> Dnestr (DDE). The DDT flux estimates for small rivers derived from independent data were 19 to 46 times lower than those calculated using OGSNK/GSN data. According to the independent data, the total
riverine OCP transport from the Russian Federation into the Azov Sea from
1988 to 1996 was 1.288 tonnes of gamma-HCH+alpha-HCH and 1.693 tonnes of DDT+DDE while for the Black Sea they were 3.830 tonnes and 5.116
tonnes for gamma-HCH+a-HCH and DDT+DDE, respectively

Abstract: Marine pollution monitoring surveys often include the measurement
of heavy metals and other trace elements in sediments from multiple stations
around marine outfalls. EDX may offer a supplementary, relatively cheap and
rapid screening method where 'signature' elements in effluent can be traced
on the sea-bed. 'Hot-spots' so identified, may subsequently be examined by
more sensitive spectroscopic techniques and trace metals quantified. This paper describes the methodology for EDX evaluation of both effluent and sediments, establishes control criteria and applies these criteria to samples of sediment obtained from near the Huntsman Tioxide and Richards Bay A and B
pipelines. Tioxide effluent was rich in Ti and Fe and Richards Bay, A and B
pipelines, rich in Ca and P. Sediments obtained from near the outfalls were
screened for these elements using EDX. Excess concentrations (EC) of signature elements in sediments near pipelines were determined by calculating the
wt.% difference of each element in samples from near pipelines with its
expected value, based on the measured wt.% in the coarse fraction, and the
correlation established from the pristine control areas. Surfer 16 software was
employed to create plots of EC for each element. The resultant contour plots
confirmed that EDX offers a rapid means of delimiting the spatial distribution
of effluent fallout and identifying the position of signature element 'hot-spots'
on the sea-bed

properties, and drum centre height above the oil/water interface surface were
analyzed with respect to oil recovery rate of the drum skimmer. Crude, diesel,
SAE 10 W and SAE 140 W oils were used during this investigation. It was
found that oil recovery rate increases with increasing drum diameter, drum
length, drum centre height above the oil/water interface, and oil slick thickness
oil viscosity, and increases as oil density and surface tension decreases. The
results revealed that the drum skimmer is an effective device for recovering
spills of low viscosity oil, such as light crude oil, which is the type of oil involved in most serious spills and pollutions of the sea. Furthermore, an empirical
equation is proposed for predicting the oil recovery rate of the device. The
equation can be applied to different oils, and gives good agreement with observed data

Abstract: Bacteria highly resistant to mercury isolated from seawater and sediment samples were tested for growth in the presence of different heavy metals, pesticides, phenol, formaldehyde, formic acid, and trichloroethane to investigate their potential for growth in the presence of a variety of toxic xenobiotics. We hypothesized that bacteria resistant to high concentrations of mercury would have potential capacities to tolerate or possibly degrade a variety
of toxic materials and thus would be important in environmental pollution bioremediation. The mercury-resistant bacteria were found to belong to Pseudomonas, Proteus, Xanthomonas, Alteromonas, Aeromonas, and Enterobacteriaceae. All these environmental bacterial strains tolerant to mercury used in
this study were capable of growth at a far higher concentration (50 ppm) of
mercury than previously reported. Likewise, their ability to grow in the presence of toxic xenobiotics, either singly or in combination, was superior to that of
bacteria incapable of growth in media containing 5 ppm mercury. Plasmidcuring assays done in this study ascertained that resistance to mercury antibiotics, and toxic xenobiotics is mediated by chromosomally borne genes
and/or transposable elements rather than by plasmids

Abstract: The Paper presents the regional perspective on the conditions and
efforts for the integrated coastal management (ICM) that exist in the Wider
Caribbean Region (WCR). The Caribbean Action Plan was adopted in 1981
with an initial workplan of activities of evaluation and control of marine pollution, evaluation of impacts on the coastal area, fishing studies, watershed management, evaluation of natural hazard effects, energy accounting systems
studies, urbanisation of the coastal area, building capacity and training. The
Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment of
the WCR is the only regional legal framework for the protection and sustainable development of marine resources. The Paper describes some region-wide
ICM-related programme initiated or supported by the CEP as well as actions
at the national level. Other ICM-related general activities and training programmes of CEP are also presented. Trends in national policies in ICM and
current developments and issues are also highlighted and recommendations
made. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: There are increasing concerns regarding the delivery, movement
and presence of non-indigenous or invasive species into marine and estuarine
areas. Such introductions can be on a large scale such as the movement to
higher latitudes of species as the result of global warming. Alternatively, such
species can be introduced into a marine or estuarine area as the result of
small-scale events, such as the liberation from waste-water discharges, aquaculture or ballast-water discharge. However, if such introductions lead to a
successful colonisation then they can become a wide-scale problem. This paper considers the introduction of such non-indigenous and invasive species as
biological pollution and biological pollutants and it discusses the definitions
and concepts used in assessing and managing marine pollution in relation to
these terms. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: This short review summarises the present knowledge on pollutant
impacts on marine viruses, virus-host systems and their potential ecological
implications. Excess nutrients from sewage and river effluents are a primary
cause of marine eutrophication and mucilage formation, often related to the
development of large viral assemblages. At the same time, hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyl and pesticides alter ecosystem functioning and can determinate changes in the virus-host interactions, thus increasing the potential
of viral infection. All these pollutants might have synergistic effects on the virus-host system and are able to induce prophage, thus increasing the impact
of viruses on marine ecosystems. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Through discussion of causative factors and examination of historical data, petrochemical spill prevention in US waters is reviewed. Unintentional petrochemical outflow is analyzed in a comprehensive manner and presented as a hierarchical sequence of antecedent events to reveal the trends
of causative factors leading to release. Specifically, a seaborne petrochemical
spill is examined in terms of four basic, antecedent events: (1) an underway
source, (2) a failure incident, (3) a marine accident capable of breaching the
hull and cargo block, and (4) the onset of outflow. These events are further
subdivided into underlying, contributing events to form a causative framework
for spill prevention. While a hierarchical review is not necessary to uncover
the elements of causation, it does provide a comprehensive and logical structure that clearly defines these elements in terms of occurrence frequency and
contribution to resulting outflow. It is found that relatively small, frequent spills
less than 40,000 liters (10,567 gallons), attributable to human operator failures, leading to grounding, and cargo transfer system failure accidents, dominate US seaborne petrochemical outflow from 1992 to 1999. Given the frequency of groundings, structural reinforcement regulations such as those contained in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (requiring double hulls) appear well justified. However, passive restraint systems are secondary to the need for vigilant
training and licensing of tank vessel operators

Abstract: As is well known, a powerful earthquake along the North Anatolian
Fault struck the eastern part of the Marmara region on August 17, 1999. izmit
Bay, which is known as one of the most polluted sites of Turkey, was also affected by the quake and the subsequent refinery fire. The measurements performed just before and after the earthquake showed that T-PAH levels increased significantly after the event [Okay OS, Tolun L, Telli-Karakoc F, Tufekci V,

and subsequent refinery fire: the long-term data. Marine Pollution Bulletin
2001;42:361-369]. In the framework of ecotoxicological studies, the Bay ecosystem was continuously monitored for T-PAH levels in seawater, sediments
and mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) to find out whether change occurred
during the 2-year period following the earthquake. For that purpose, after the
earthquake, the samples were collected six times between the period of September 1999 and March 2001 at coastal stations of the Bay situated away
from the mouth of main discharges. The responses of the mussels were also
measured by means of the lysosomal stability of the blood cells and feeding
rate biomarker techniques at two different sites of the bay. Although the TPAH levels in all matrices generally showed a decreasing trend, they were
found to be still high especially at stations near the refinery. Both biomarker
results showed that the health status of the mussels is very poor in the Bay
ecosystem, based on the results obtained from the two sites monitored. (C)

Abstract: Imposex, i.e., the imposition of male sexual characteristics on female neograstropods, has been used worldwide as a bioindicator of pollution by
the antifouling agent TBT as well as to assess the related ecological impact.
The recent total ban on the use of TBT in the maritime industry has been partly based on the use of such a biomarker. This is mainly based on the as-
- 81 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
sumption that no other pollutant, or environmental stress, is able to induce
such a biological response. Nonetheless, several. authors had challenged this
idea. The present paper will present further field observations on imposex in
Hexaplex trunculus from Malta (Central Mediterranean) which may help clarify
this issue. Furthermore, the incidence of imposex in this species will be related to body burdens and to the environmental levels of organotins as measured analytically. First histological observations will also be presented which
may help clarify the ecological significance of this response in this species.
Finally a number of alternative scenarios regarding the relationship between
imposex and TBT will be discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights

Abstract: Contaminants from sewage discharge and abandoned waste tips
enter the marine environment adjacent to Australia's Casey Station, East Antarctica. To establish cost-efficient methods for benthic pollution monitoring
the effects of sieve mesh-size (0.5 and 1.0 mm) and taxonomic aggregation
(family, order and class) on the description of infaunal assemblages were determined. The abundance and taxonomy of fauna retained on a 0.5 mm sieve
after passing through a 1.0 mm sieve were examined in this study. The 1.0
mm sieve fraction [Human impacts and assemblages in marine soft-sediments
at Casey Station, Antarctica, Ph.D. thesis, University of New England, 2001]
contained 70% of individuals and 94% of taxa when compared to combined
abundances on the 1.0 and 0.5 mm sieves. Furthermore, the addition of 0.5
nun data did not increase sampling precision or the statistical power to detect
differences between locations. Differences between locations were detected
when species were aggregated to the family level however, further aggregation to order and class levels altered the perceived pattern of differences. Marine pollution monitoring of the soft-bottom benthos at Casey Station is most
cost-effective when using a 1.0 mm sieve and identifying fauna to the family
level. This is the first reported comparison of sampling techniques using Antarctic. benthos. Crown Copyright (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract: Considerable quantities of food waste can be generated at a rapid
rate in ships, particularly those with large numbers of people onboard. By virtue of the amounts involved and its nature, food waste is potentially the most
difficult to manage component of a ship's garbage stream, however, in most
sea areas it may be dealt with by the simple expedient of direct discharge to
sea. As a consequence, only minimal attention is paid to food waste management by many ship and port operators and advisory bodies, and there is a
paucity of information in the available literature. The determination that management of ships' food waste is inconsequential is, however, incorrect in many
circumstances. Disposal to sea is not always possible due to restrictions imposed by MARPOL 73/78 and other marine pollution control instruments. Effective management of food waste can be critical for ships that operate in
areas where disposal is restricted or totally prohibited. (C) 2002 Elsevier

Abstract: Biochemical measurements in the sentinel clam Chamaelea gallina
have been used as biomarkers of marine pollution. In this study, S9, cytosolic
fractions (CF), and microsomal fractions (MF) prepared from unexposed
clams and clams exposed to model pollutants were used to activate 2aminoanthracene (2-AA) and 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) to mutagens in
Salmonella typhimurium strain BA149, which overexpresses Oacetyltransferase. Arylamine activation was similar with subcellular fractions
from unexposed and Aroclor 1 254-exposed clams, but decreased with fractions from As(III)- and Cu(II)-exposed clams. Bioactivation of arylamines by
- 83 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
CF was higher than by MF, and higher with NADH than with NADPH as the
reducing agent. a-Naphthoflavone inhibited AAF activation by CF and MF, but
increased 2-AA activation nearly twofold. In contrast to the results with arylamine activation, benzo[a]pyrene hydrox-ylase (BPH) activity increased twofold
in fractions from Aroclor 1254- and Cu(II)-exposed clams. Activation of 2-AA
was also evaluated using S9 fractions from clams sampled at littoral sites with
different pollutant levels. Compared to a reference site, lower 2-AA bioactivation and higher BPH activity were found in clams containing high levels of
copper and organic contaminants, although the differences were not statistically significant. While these findings agree with the results of the model Cu(II)
exposure, the effects of other pollutants cannot be ruled out. The results of the
study demonstrate that arylamine activation by clams is not preferentially catalyzed by microsomal monooxygenases but by unknown cytosolic system(s),
and that bioactivation of 2-AA and AAF appears to occur by different pathways. (C) 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc

Abstract: The dinoflagellate cyst records in sediments from New Bedford
Harbor and Apponagansett Bay demonstrate sensitivity to environmental
change caused by human activity in the watersheds over the last 500 years.
Changes in the species richness, as well as absolute and relative abundance
of dinoflagellate cyst taxa reflect recent periods of development around the
estuaries. Cyst taxa sensitive to these changes include Dubridinium spp., Polykrikos schwartzii, Lingulodinium machaerophorum, Operculodinium israelianum and Selenopemphix quanta. The greatest changes in the dinoflagellate
cyst record occur during the 20th century, when New Bedford Harbor was exposed to both toxic pollution and heavy nutrient loading from point and nonpoint sources. Apponagansett Bay was not subject to industrial pollution and
nutrient enrichment has been lower (from non-point sources). In Apponagansett Bay there is an increase in the dinoflagellate cyst species richness while
species richness first increased, then declined in New Bedford Harbor. During
the same period, the total dinoflagellate cyst concentration in New Bedford
Harbor fluctuated over a wide range. The decline of species richness and the
large fluctuations in the total cyst abundances signal the intensified anthropogenic disturbance in the watershed, notably a high degree of eutrophication
and toxic pollution. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: We analysed concentrations of cadmium, lead, mercury and selenium in blood from males and females of the 2 sibling species of giant petrels,
the northern Macronectes halli and the southern M. giganteus, breeding sympatrically at Bird Island (South Georgia, Antarctica). Blood samples were collected in 1998 during the incubation period, from 5 November to 10 December. Between species, cadmium and lead concentrations were significantly
higher for northern than for southern giant petrels, which probably resulted
from northern giant petrels wintering in more polluted areas (mainly on the Patagonian Shelf and Falkland Islands) compared to southern giant petrels (wintering mainly around South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands). Between sexes, cadmium concentrations were significantly higher for females
than for males in both species, corresponding to the more pelagic habits of
females compared to the more scavenging habits of males. Lead and cadmium concentrations in circulating blood decreased significantly over the incubation period, suggesting that when breeding at Bird Island, exposure to the
source of pollution had ended, and these metals had been cleared from the
blood and excreted, or rapidly transferred to other tissues. Association of lead
and cadmium with a common source of pollution was further corroborated by
a significant positive correlation between the levels of the 2 elements found.
Mercury levels were similar between the species, but showed an opposite
trend between sexes, with males showing higher levels than females in northern giant petrels, and the opposite was true in southern giant petrels, with no
changes throughout incubation. Selenium levels were similar between sexes,
but significantly greater for northern than for southern giant petrels. Moreover,
there was a significant increase in the selenium levels over the incubation period in northern giant petrels. Age of adult birds did not affect metal concentrations, Coefficients of variation of metal levels were consistently lower for northern than for southern giant petrels, particularly for mercury, suggesting that
the former species is more dietary specialised than the latter. Contaminant
analyses, when combined with accurate information on seabird movements,
obtained through geolocation or satellite tracking, help us to understand geographic variation of pollution in the marine environment

Abstract: Although much information exists on the role of non-human mammals (both terrestrial and marine) on seashores and in maritime terrestrial environments, it is widely scattered in the literature. This review represents the
first attempt to draw this disjointed information together. The reasons for past
neglect are several: in some habitats, e.g. temperate rocky shores, such interactions are genuinely of relatively minor significance and have typically been
ignored; the focus of marine mammal research on land has generally been ethological, not synecological; and the activity of small mammals, being predominantly nocturnal, passes largely unnoticed by (mostly) diurnal ecologists.
Oceanic and inshore island populations are most at risk from introduced
mammals. Cats, dogs, rats and mink are important predators of seabirds.
Grazers such as goats and sheep cause coastal habitat degradation. Eradication of goats is especially important on islands and in faunas with high proportions of endemic species. Attention is focused below on mammalian involvement in ecological processes in a range of ecosystems: viz. salt marshes and
shore meadows, sand dunes and machair, intertidal sand flats, shingle beaches, rocky shores, caves, cliffs, lava tubes, mangroves, seagrass and kelp
beds and ice-edge habitats. Ecological observations on Marsupialia, Insectivora, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, Rodentia, Cetacea, Carnivora, Sirenia, Perissodactyla, Artiodactyla and Primates are presented. Contemporary issues involving coastal mammals (particularly livestock husbandry) are collated, namely marine pollution by nutrient outwash (eutrophication), microbiological
water quality, radioactivity and the impact of climate change and sea-level rise
(particularly on ice-edge and saltmarsh habitats). Any exploitation of shores
by terrestrial mammals has to be intermittent and cyclical on a tidal basis.
Evictions of terrestrial mammals from feeding or nesting sites in coastal ecotone habitats may follow tidal or storm events, and can be locally catastrophic
(generating carcasses for scavengers). Expanding mammalian populations on
islands run the risk of exhausting food resources and starving, especially in
winter. Certain marine mammals, however, like manatees, dugongs and bottle-nosed dolphins, may exploit the intertidal zone during its periodic immersion at high tide. The role of mammals, particularly grazing livestock, is much
greater in saltmarsh and sand-dune ecosystems (including machair habitats)
than in the intertidal zone. Occasional strandings of cetaceans or deaths of
seals, particularly neonates, provide intermittent bounties of energy for opportunistic scavengers like foxes, hyenas, jackals or bears (even humans in isolated situations), depending on location. Other coastal energy bounties come in
the form of turtle and iguana nests raided for eggs by foxes, raccoons and
mongooses. Bearded pigs may also intercept hatchlings on their way to the
sea. Fringing densely wooded hinterlands, shorelines and beaches form
unobstructed highways for larger animals and may, historically, have played
an important role in facilitating their post-glacial dispersal. The importance of
productive shorelines for foraging by grazing, predatory and scavenging
mammals will be magnified along bleak hinterlands, for example, desert
coasts. The sea otter and giant kelp story has become an ecological paradigm
reinforcing the need for better understanding of the ramifications through ecosystems of changes to the status of keystone species. Bats and flying foxes,
- 86 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
for instance, are key species in mangrove ecosystems, as essential pollinators. Some bats catch fishes. Accumulated bat droppings may be important
sources of nutrients under roost sites. Chemical interactions (social signalling)
between mammals in coastal situations are largely unknown. This and several
other areas of relative ignorance (suitable for modem techniques like radio
tracking, appropriately designed enclosure/exclosure experimentation, habitat
restoration and pest eradication) are highlighted as requiring future research.
Habitat management and sustainability at this important boundary would be
improved if the effects of, and implications for, mammals were considered

Abstract: We have improved our sea urchin micronucleus assay for aquatic
samples and used it to evaluate marine pollution. We found that the water
samples we had collected for 2 years from the Tokyo bay coast near Tokyo,
an industrial megalopolis, were positive due to the water samples being hypoosmotic rather than to chemical pollutants. The evidence was as follows: (i)
the osmolality and salinity of the samples were about half that of sea water; (ii)
the micronucleus frequency induced in the water sample decreased to the
control level when the osmolality was increased to that of sea water; (iii) artificial sea water diluted with distilled water induced micronuclei dilutiondependently. Since micronucleus induction in the sea urchin assay is influenced by sample osmolality, the osmolality must be adjusted to that of sea water
for the assay and osmotic pressure must be considered when evaluating water pollution

Abstract: The carriage of oil is indispensable to the industrialized nations. In
this respect, the carriage of oil is undertaken as a service to society as a whole with its individual members deriving benefits from its carriage to varying degrees. Consequently, after examining the four Conventions in the international
system of compensation for oil pollution from ships, it is argued that the general citizenship of those nations pay, in exceptional cases, for a small share of
the risk, which is created in part by the citizens, as users of oil. The paper
proposes the creation of a fund of last resort that could be conceived either at
a regional level or a national level and financed through (indirect) taxation on
the population as a whole. This type of fund could have a wider use in the field
of marine pollution and protection of marine resources. (C) 2002 Published by

Abstract: Measurements of aerosol size distributions (3- to 1000-nm diameter) were made over the Indian Ocean (15degreesN, 75degreesE to
70degreesS, 11degreesE) during the onward (December 12, 1996 to January
6, 1997) and return (March 9 to April 5, 1997) cruises of the XVI Indian Scientific Expedition to the Antarctic. Observations show that during the January to
April period, the environment over the Indian Ocean undergoes a transition
from a relatively clean to a fairly polluted one. Our observations of the large
concentrations and the North-to-South positive gradient of aerosol concentra-
- 88 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
tion over the northern Indian Ocean strongly support the transport of aerosols
and trace gases with the seasonal northeasterly winds from the Indian subcontinent to the Indian Ocean. The results also indicate the production of new
particles over the oceanic region by the gas-to-particle conversion processes.
During this season, because of the persistent northeasterly winds and the shift
of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) to the Southern Hemisphere in
this region, the air pollutants over the northern Indian Ocean are carried into
the Southern Hemisphere with the cross-equatorial flow and reach up to the
southern limit of the ITCZ. Some pockets of very high aerosol concentrations
have been observed in and around the ITCZ. The nucleation mode particles
are observed in great abundance up to 30degreesS. From the Indian coast to
5degreesN, aerosol particles are observed to have bimodal size distributions
with a maximum in accumulation mode at 133-nm diameter and a minimum
for nucleation/Aitken mode particles of < 74 nm in diameter. The size distributions gradually change to trimodal ones with another minimum appearing for
the coarse mode particles>422 nm in the 5degreesN-Equator belt and are generally trimodal in the Southern Hemisphere. Transport of the nucleation mode particles from the free troposphere to the marine boundary layer (MBL) associated with the large-scale subsidence and the subsequent North-to-South
transport of these and continental aerosols with the seasonal northeasterly
surface winds over the Indian Ocean is proposed to explain the high concentration of the nucleation mode particles observed up to the ITCZ. Size distributions change to Junge's power-law type in regions of high aerosol concentration inside the ITCZ. Comparatively small concentrations with almost uniform
size distributions that are typical of the pristine air in the Southern Hemisphere
are observed from 42degreesS to 56degreesS. Some high peaks in aerosol
concentration that can be associated with the low-pressure systems that encircle Antarctica are observed in the 60-70degreesS latitudinal belt. Further,
our observations strongly demonstrate the effect of wind direction on the landto-ocean transport of the atmospheric aerosols. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science

Abstract: In order to study effects of environmental contamination, a suite of
biomarkers were measured over the period 1996 to 1999 in livers of flounder
(Platichthys flesus) from two urban embayments and one non-urban reference
site of the Gulf of Finland in the vicinity of Tallinn, Estonia. Total cytochrome
P450 (CYP) level, aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH), 5-aminolevulinic acid
synthetase (ALA-S), and heme synthetase (HEM-S) activities were quantified
- 89 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
by means of spectrophotometry. These data were compared to results obtained in 1994 for the same biomarkers at one of the urban embayments and the
non-urban site, as measured by the same protocols. For the flounder collected
from the non-urban site, changes occurred in AHH activity and the total CYP
level, which were significantly lower in 1996 and 1999 compared with 1994
(p<0.05). Activity of ALA-S decreased slightly over this same period. The activity of HEM-S increased between 1996 and 1999. In the urban site first investigated in 1994, the activities of AHH and ALA-S, as well as the total level of
CYP in flounder liver were significantly higher compared with 1999 (p<0.05).
HEM-S activities did not show any significant changes over this time period.
AHH activities of flounder collected in another urban site decreased slightly
between 1996 and 1999, in contrast to data on the total CYP level which diminished drastically over these years (p<0.05). Activities of HEM-S increased
significantly (p<0.05) during the period investigated, while activities of ALA-S
remained unchanged. These findings suggest that contamination of the marine environments by PAHs has gone down everywhere in the Tallinn area during the last 3 to 5 years. However, the results indicate that the area is still
contaminated, as indicated by elevated heme synthesis enzymes and the total
CYP content, and that monitoring of contaminants and their effects should be
continued in this region

Abstract: Abu-Kir Bay, a shallow semicircular basin, receives highly polluted
drainage water via Tabia Pumping Station (TPS), contaminated brackish water from Lake Edku and fresh Nile water from Rosetta Nile branch. The suspended matter (SM) values were high in the nearshore water and decreased
seaward. Its distinct peak in November at Tabia Sector (TS) reflects the high
bottom values. Copper partitioning patterns (fractions F1-175) in Abu-Kir Bay
were studied to determine the metal sources, geochemistry, associations and
availability for biota. At Maadia Sector (MS), the copper fractions were dominated by F3 (49.0%) > F5 (25.8%) >F4 (16.6%) > F2(5.0%) > F1 (3.5%) of the
total copper. At TS the order was F5 (76.0%) > F4 (9.3%) > F3 (6.5%) > F2
(5.8%) > F1(2.4%).The equations of multiple regression show that pH and
dissolved oxygen affected F1 at MS, contrary to TS where the F1 distribution
was affected by temperature and SM. At this heavily polluted sector, a higher
surface F2 value was found and it decreased with depth following the decrease in the untreated industrial wastes with depth. The depth profile of F3 indicates a higher surface value, showing that particles of Fe/Mn oxides are important terminal scavengers in the surface water. The vertical distribution of F4
varied slightly at TS, giving an increase in the surface water from the discharged raw industrial wastes containing high concentrations of organic and inor-

Abstract: The use of sequential measurements of hemolymph cholinesterase
activities as a non-invasive biomarker of seasonal organophosphate/carbamate exposure was investigated for the tropical scallop, Euvola
(Pecten) ziezae. Overall activities of both acetyl-cholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase were relatively high compared to studies with bivalve tissues.
Acute in vivo experiments showed inhibition of hemolymph acetylcholinesterase activity at concentrations of the urganuphusphutr insecticide chlorpyrifos
of 0.1, l. and 10 ng l(-1). Monthly sampling of hemolymph from scallops at two
sites in Bermuda over a 15 month period showed seasonal acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition. Direct and indirect evidence suggests that this inhibition did not relate to biochemical or physiological changes
associated with gonad maturation and spawning, but rather reflected diffuse
contamination of the marine environment by cholinesterase inhibitors or increased bioavailability of such inhibitors ut these times. Repetitive sampling of
scallop hemolymph for cholinesterase activities represents a rapid. sensitive
and nun-invasive method for assessing seasonal, sublethal pesticide exposure in these commercially important bivalves and suggests a wider use in marine pollution monitoring. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Hazardous chemicals in the sea are liable to be accumulated in
marine ecosystems, and are transported by such. mechanisms as oceanic
and atmospheric currents. It is important to study these mechanisms in the
ocean in order to understand the nature and extent of marine pollution from
hazardous chemicals. A continuous-extraction sampling system for hazardous
chemicals was developed and set up on a ferry (Kurosiwo). We tested the extraction rate of this system in a laboratory and in situ. The extraction rate was
determined to be over 90%. The detection limit in 100 1 of extracted seawater
was about 5 pg l(-1) for chlordane and 10 pg l(-1) for HCHs. More than 70
samples were collected on the ferry (Kurosiwo) route from Osaka to Naha.
Hazardous chemicals were collected by solid-phase extraction and analyzed
by the GC/MS-SIM method. We determined the levels of hazardous chemicals, such as trans-chlordane, which ranged from the detection limit to 50 pg
l(-1), and alpha-HCH and beta-HCH, which varied from 30 to 800 pg l(-1). The
spatial distribution of beta-HCH was similar in all observations, while that of aHCH varied with the weather condition

Abstract: The Lefke region of Northern Cyprus was a site of intense copper
mining and smelting activities until the 1970s, which produced large tailings
This study was initiated to characterize the heavy metal contamination of soils
of the area and to assess the influence of this site on the surface seawater
quality along the coastline. Soil and seawater samples were collected and
analysed. Copper and arsenic concentrations exceeded the limits for
'extremely polluted' soils for some samples, which can be classified as
'polluted' by zinc, cadmium and lead. The results showed that seawater was
seriously polluted by chromium, nickel and copper in the vicinity of the
smelting facility. Copper and iron concentrations increased tenfold after
rainfall (wet period); indicating the contribution of tailings to marine pollution.
There is an urgent need for remediation treatment for the site

Abstract: The present estimates of ice drift in the Arctic include utilization of
satellite imagery data (special sensor microwave/imager) and a reconstruction
of air pressure for the period 1899-1998. A significant part of the sea ice in the
Arctic Ocean has its origin in the Kara Sea and melts in the Greenland and
the Barents Sea (BS). Consequently there may be a particular risk of pollutants in the Kara Sea entering the food webs of the Greenland and BS. The
ice export from the Kara Sea between 1988 and 1994 was about 208,000
km(2) (154 km(3)) per year. The import of ice into the BS was during the same
period 16 1,000 km(2) (183 km(3)) per year while the ice drift through the
Fram Strait into the Greenland Sea was 583,000 km 2 (1859 km(3)) per year.
Ice which formed adjacent to the Ob and Yenisey rivers in early January, drifted into the BS within two years (with a probability of about 50%). (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

in marine studies to determine physical parameters, but there is increasing
demand for real-time information about chemical and biological parameters.
These parameters are currently measured in samples collected at sea and
subsequently analysed in the laboratory. Biosensors fuse the exquisite sensitivity and specificity of living systems with the processing power of microelectronics to deliver simple, inexpensive measurement systems for use in the
field or deployment in situ. While their potential for use in the marine environment is enormous, much published work to date has focussed on applications
in freshwater and wastewater. Marine applications pose a substantial challenge in the robustness required for remote application, but recent developments
in portable medical devices and receptor design suggest that these demands
can now be realistically tackled. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Eels (Anguilla anguilla L.) were exposed for 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 48,
72, 144, and 216 h to 0 (control), 0.3, 0.9, and 2.7 muM benzo[a]pyrene
(BaP). The biotransformation induced by BaP was measured as liver ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity and cytochrome P450 content, and
compared with the genotoxic effects, such as erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities (ENA), and blood and liver DNA strand breaks. The liver exhibited a highly significant EROD activity increase from 2 up to 216 h exposure to 0.9 and
2.7 muM BaP, whereas 0.3 muM BaP exposure induced a significant liver
EROD increase from 2 up to 144 h. Liver cytochrome P-450 content was significantly increased at 8 h to 2.7 muM BaP exposure. Liver DNA integrity was
decreased at 16 h, from 8 up to 144 h and 8 up to 72 h exposure to 0.3, 0.9,
and 2.7 muM BaP, respectively. A significant decrease in blood DNA integrity
was observed at 48, 72, 144 h, from 8 up to 72, and from 6 up to 72 h exposure to 0.3, 0.9, and 2.7 muM BaP, respectively. The A. anguilla L. genotoxic
response to BaP, measured as ENA induction, was significantly increased at
144 h exposure to 0.3 muM BaP. The intermediate BaP concentration tested
(0.9 muM) induced a significant three fold ENA increase at 48 and 72 h exposure compared to their controls. The highest BaP concentration (2.7 muM) induced a significant increase in ENA frequency at 72, 144 and 216 h exposure.

Abstract: Tissue metal concentrations, filtration and oxygen uptake rates were investigated for Perna perna (Bivalvia: Mollusca) during exposure to Hg2+,
Cu2+ and Zn2+ (50 mug/l for 24 days, and 24 days recovery with no metal).
Hg and Cu tissue levels increased with exposure time, reaching maximum levels after 24 days (87.5 mug Hg/g dry mass and 45 mug Cu/g dry mass, respectively). Zn levels peaked after 4 days exposure (to 233 mug Zn/g dry
mass) and stabilized thereafter. Accumulated metal was rapidly lost from tissues when mussels were returned to uncontaminated seawater, suggesting
that tissue concentration data may be of limited use in biomonitoring situations
where environmental metals fluctuate to low levels. Filtration rates fell below
control rates during Hg2+ exposure, and became elevated again during the
recovery period. Cu2+ and Zn2+ exposure had little effect on filtration, but
suppressed oxygen uptake. During recovery, oxygen uptake of Cu2+ and
Zn2+ exposed mussels was elevated above the controls. Filtration and oxygen uptake rates were not correlated, but rather responded in different ways
to metal pollution. While these physiological responses of P perna may be of

Abstract: Surface alterations of the original limestone and the efficiency of
several cleaning methods were investigated on the Corfu Venetian Fortress
facade. Black crusts of gypsum dendrites and loose depositions or black-grey
calcareous encrustations in combination with biological decay were identified
as main decay processes. The cleaning treatments, chosen according to their
acting on the stone surface, were: sepiolite for solvent action, ammonium bicarbonate for exchange action, EDTA for the chemical chelating action, hydrogen peroxide for chemical action on biological species and nylon brushes
for physical action. Each cleaning method's efficiency and counteractions were evaluated by laboratory examinations concerning the morphology and the
composition of the surface with SEM observations and X-ray microanalysis,
before and after treatment and during ageing tests in sulphur dioxide and
humidity atmosphere. The used methodology creates a sound basis for the
evaluation and proper selection of a cleaning method, which should be highly
efficient and with limited counteractions to the stone. (C) 2002 Published by

Abstract: The oceanic islands in the Southern Ocean can be considered
amongst the remotest shores as, not only are they uninhabited (except for
small research stations) and geographically isolated, but they are also enclosed by the oceanographic barrier of the Polar Frontal Zone. We survey island
- 96 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
shores in the Scotia Arc mountain chain linking Antarctica to South America,
including South Georgia, the South Sandwich archipelago and Adelaide Island
off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, and compare our findings to literature reports from two other Scotia Arc island groups (South Orkney and
South Shetland archipelagos). The presence of marine pollution (in the form
of beached debris) in this region is significant, both as a measure of man's influence on this isolated environment, and due to direct dangers posed to the
fauna. This paper reports the results of surveys of beached marine debris at
various times in the last decade for each island group. The majority (> 70%) of
the items recovered were anthropogenic in origin and most of these were
synthetic (plastic or polystyrene). Debris densities varied from zero to 0.3
items m(-1) but were typically lower than those reported from other regions of
the globe. At some localities (South Georgia), marine-debris data showed a
close relationship with local fishery activity, whilst at others (South Sandwich
Islands) debris appeared to have a more distant origin. Unlike oceanic debris
in warm (non-polar) water localities, there was no evidence of any colonisation
by biota. Debris accumulation may provide a useful indirect measure of local
fishery activity and compliance with CCAMLR regulations, as well as monitoring the state of the oceans and island shores

Abstract: Direct viable counts (DVC) of bacteria were quantified from polluted
and relatively less/non-polluted coastal locations during different seasons to
assess whether they can be routinely monitored for an understanding of environmental stress(es) that may impede the full functioning of bacterial communities in situ. Most notably, DVC were quite low during pre-monsoon (MarchMay) in pollution-affected locations when compared to relatively
less/nonpolluted ones. In contrast, their abundance was significantly higher
(up to or > 10 %) suggesting a substantially higher microbial activity (thus, a
larger turnover of organic matter) during monsoon (June-September) and
post-monsoon (October-February) even in pollution-affected locations. The
ease of reliably measuring DVC was useful in realising decreased metabolic
functioning of bacteria during pre-monsoon, a season where dispersion of
land discharges/effluents is much lower. From laboratory and field analyses of
this study it is ascertained that DVC are direct indices of potential bacterial
metabolic activity, reliable for sensing metabolic stress experienced by bacterial communities in situ and can be useful for evaluating risks in marine environment through human (industrial) activities. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract: Methods for assessing the quality of marine coastal environments
are numerous and rapidly evolving. The integration of physiological parameters termed as Scope for Growth (SfG) and the luminescent bioassay Microtox(R) were applied in several sites of Saronikos and Amvrakikos Gulfs
(Greece) to assess the environmental quality and compare the results of the
two methods. Each site in the two areas undergoes different types and levels
of pollution. Both methods could identify a pollution gradient reflecting the
quality of each site. A very good linear correlation was noticed between the
two methods r = 0.98). The stress order, which was similar in both methods,
exhibited the expected pollution gradient according to the pressure that each
site undergoes. Results suggest that for screening and fast isolation of polluted sites before further analysis, the rapid and simple Microtox(R) assay could
operate as an alternative to the more complex SfG method. (C) 2002 Elsevier

Abstract: To fully assess the impact of pollutant releases into the environment, it is necessary to determine both the concentration of chemicals accumulating in biota and the biological effects they give rise to. Owing to time,
expertise, and cost constraints, this is, however, rarely achieved. Here, quick,
simple to perform, and inexpensive biomarkers and chemical immunoassays
were combined in a rapid assessment approach to measure exposure to and
effects of organic and metal pollutants on the ribbed mussel (Geukensia
demmissa) from New Bedford Harbor, MA. Significant differences in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) tissue residue
concentrations were detected among sites using RaPID immunoassay. Selected analyses were verified using GG/MS. No significant differences were observed in metal concentrations (Cu, Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Ni) throughout the area.
While causality cannot be attributed, multivariate canonical correlation analysis indicated that PCB and PAH concentrations were strongly associated with
the induction of biomarkers of genotoxicity (micronucleus formation), immunotoxicity (spontaneous cytotoxicity), and physiological impairment (heart rate), It
is concluded that the incorporation of chemical immunoassays with biological
monitoring tools into routine management procedures is clearly viable and valuable as a means of identifying toxic impacts of pollutants on biota in situ

coupling a Clark oxygen electrode as transducer and the marine alga Spirulina subsalsa as biological mediator; it constitutes the "core" in a lab-scale prototype of a flow apparatus suitable to continuously monitor, in sea water, the
photosynthetic activity of the alga and, from its variation, the marine pollution
from the toxicological point of view. Inorganic pollutants (heavy metals) were
tested in previous researches while organic ones (chlorophenols, pesticides
and surfactants) are the object of the present paper

Abstract: The development and operation of efficient, low-polluting marine
diesel engines is the major goal of researchers, manufacturers, and the International Maritime Organization. Mandatory controls on the exhaust emissions
from marine sources have now radically and fundamentally changed with the
adoption of Annex VI Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from
Ships to the Marine Pollution (IMO MARPOL 73/78) Convention. Nitrogen is
practically inactive. Only a small but an important part is involved in the chemical reactions in the engine, forming NOx emissions. This study originally indicates the NOx control methods that are affecting the engine combustion
process directly and reducing the emission level without changing the engine
performance characteristics in marine diesel engines. The different applied
methods and combinations of new fuel injection valve types, water injection,
exhaust gas recirculation, and the use of selective catalytic reduction ensure
the significant decrease in accordance with the international and national
standards

Abstract: This report is the first seasonal study of anthropogenic pollutant
biodegradation rates in Antarctic coastal waters. The capacity of surface waters from Rothera Research Station, Adelaide Island, Antarctica, to biodegrade the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was quantified in
biodegradation tests from April 1988 to January 1999. Large temporal differences in the persistence of SIDS were observed. In mid-winter (July), the
SDS-biodegradation half life was twice that measured in mid-summer (January), despite small temperature differences (up to 2.45 degreesC). Comparisons between water from a pristine site and a site receiving grey-waste water
from the station showed that some acclimation to SDS was occurring in the
contaminated water. This resulted in SDS half lives up to similar to80 h shorter in the polluted water compared with the pristine site in the summer months
when a large population of SDS-degrading bacteria had developed. Biodegradation half lives in Antarctic coastal waters (160-460 h) were generally far higher than those observed in temperate waters. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract: To seasonally evaluate Littoral contamination, toxicity and quality
values of sediments from the Gulf of Cadiz, we measured chemical concentrations and conducted toxicity tests in winter and summer and linked these results by means of multivariate analysis. Sediment samples were subjected to
two separate, replicated sediment toxicity tests (Micro-deutopus gryllotalpa
amphipod survival, and Ruditapes philippinarum clam reburial), and to comprehensive sediment chemistry analyses (grain size, organic carbon, 14 heavy metals, and the surfactant Linear alkylbenzenesulfonate (LAS)). Only se-
- 102 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
diments associated with an untreated urban discharge were toxic and related
to high levels of surfactant LAS, Ag, and Pb. Multivariate analysis indicated
that variables and chemicals associated with geochemical matrix and background levels (specific surface, Fe, Zn, Cu, V, Ni, and Co), chemicals associated with untreated urban discharge sources, and toxicity effects showed no
seasonal variability. Only copper concentrations showed seasonal differences,
being toxic during the winter and not toxic during summer. Multivariate analysis permits us to derive sediment quality values (SQVs); in terms of concentrations at or below which biological effects were not measured (mg kg(-1) dry
sediment), are: LAS, 2.6; lead, 66.8; silver, 0.78; copper, 69.6. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: There has been much criticism of the system for the control of industrial pollution, but not much is known about the views of the regulators and
- 103 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
the industry. The objective of this study was to explore the attitudes at this regulatory interface towards the current and proposed regulatory system and
make recommendations for improvements. The methodology involved a questionnaire survey sent to over 700 key personnel, Statistical analysis revealed
similarities and significant differences between the views of industry and the
regulator on the effectiveness of the current regime. Weaknesses related to
the derivation and enforcement of standards were identified. The Environmental Quality Standards system was acknowledged to be flawed by both operators and regulators who agreed it should be improved by the expansion of listed chemicals, the introduction of sediment environmental quality standards
and direct toxicity assessment of effluents. This paper concludes that these
measures should be incorporated into the regulatory system, together with
more rigorous enforcement of environmental performance standards including
serious sanctions for non-compliance. In the longer term, a reappraisal of the
regulatory system is required in order to establish an appropriate framework to
ensure that environmental policy commitments are implemented

Abstract: The rapid industrial development in Southeast Asia, in combination
with increased population pressure, has in many places caused degradation
of natural resources that many people in the region highly depend on. Attempts to evaluate environmental impacts and changes in the ecosystem due
to pollution suffer from lack of data, since most knowledge about marine pollution is based on experiences from temperate areas. In the present work, physiological effects of enhanced copper concentrations on three oyster species
of commercial interest were studied in laboratory experiments. Two of the
species are intertidal, Saccostrea cucullata and Crassostrea lugubris, and one
species is subtidal, C belcheri. After a short-term (12 h) exposure to 20 mug
copper/l, the oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion, clearance rate and
absorption efficiency were measured and scope for growth calculated. The results from this study indicate that the two intertidal species are far more tolerant than the subtidal species. This is probably because they inhabit a more
variable environment and have to be able to handle constantly changing environmental conditions. The subtidal habitat is normally less variable, why the
copper exposure was a more severe stress, seen mainly as decreased filtration activity. The final result, i.e. changes in scope for growth, indicates that for
the specific stress factor studied here, habitat selection seemed to be more
important than genus. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: Since the late 1970s, Scandinavian waters have been extensively
investigated for human-induced marine pollution, especially marine eutrophication, oxygen deficiency in bottom waters and subsequent benthic mortality. Them most serious oxygen deficiencies are noted in the sill fjords along the
Swedish west coast. in southern Norway and in large areas of the southern
Kattegat and Baltic Sea. One of these sill fjords, KoIjo Fjord, is located on the
Swedish west coast. This fjord is characterised by frequently occurring episodes of hypoxia/anoxia which last for months or even years. Sediments are laminated and the fjord is generally regarded as seriously affected by humaninduced eutrophication. We detail the environmental development of a welldocumented fjord by combining high resolution sediment records with long
hydrographical and meteorological instrumental data, and we present ultra
high-resolution sediment information together with long-term instrumental records of air-temperatures, NAO indices and hydrography from Koljo Fjord.
These data show, in contrast to the current opinion focusing on anthropogenic
eutrophication, that natural causes are the most important factors controlling
the marine environment in this sparsely populated area. Natural variables
concerned are fjord physiography. weather and hydrography (including the
macro-nutrients DIN and PO4-P), sediment laminations and organic carbon.
Interactions between fjord physiography. weather and hydrography regulate
the possibility for water exchange and deep-water renewals. The present study points to the importance of natural causes for the environmental status of
sill basins and semi-enclosed areas along the west coast of Sweden. (C) 2001

Abstract: Since 1986 the NOAA National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program
Mussel Watch has monitored concentrations of trace chemicals in the coastal
United States by sampling mussels, oysters, and sediment. The sediment data have been used to define the status or geographic distribution of chemical
concentrations (Daskalakis, K. D., & O'Connor, T. P (1995). Distribution of
chemical contamination in coastal and estuarine sediments. Marine Environmental Research 40, 381-398) and the molluscan data have provided an estimate of temporal trends (O'Connor, T. P. (1996). Trends in chemical concentrations in mussels and oysters collected along the US coast from 1986 to
1993. Marine Environmental Research 41,183-200, O'Connor, T. P. (1998).
Mussel Watch results from 1986 to 1996. Marine Pollution Bulletin 37, 14-19).
This paper centers on chemical concentrations in mollusks at 263 sites
around the United States. It provides perspective on concentration ranges and
on geographic distributions. For most organic chemicals and lead, concentrations vary in proportion to numbers of people living near a site. For elements,
other than lead, high concentrations in mollusks can be due more to natural
factors than to human activity. Concentrations of PAHs in tissues of mussels
from urban areas are in a range reported to exert biological responses. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: Chemical pollution may play a role in the etiology of fibropapillomatosis in green turtles (Chelonia mydas). In this preliminary study, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured in the livers and adipose fats of green
turtles collected after they were stranded on Oahu Island, Hawaii in 19921993. Average concentrations of total PCBs were 45-58 ng/g dry weight and
73-665 ng/g in the liver and adipose tissues, respectively. Hexachlorobiphenyls were predominant homologues, PCBs 153 and 138 were dominant
congeners in all the turtle tissues. Among the most toxic coplanar congeners,
in the order of abundance, were PCB 77 > 126 > 169. Estimated toxic equivalents (TEQs) of PCBs to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin were 8-15 pg/g in
the livers and 13-48 pg/g in the adipose tissues. PCB 126 contributed 8591%, of the total TEQs. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: Mex Bay is a semicircular basin under stress, receiving several polluted effluents from different sources. Umum Drain (UD) was the main contributor of dissolved lead (DPb) and, thus, its surface values decreased towards
the offshore stations. Also, particulate lead (PPb) decreased towards the offshore stations. DPb and PPb values in the Misr Chemical Company (MCC) effluent were high, confirming its role in introducing, considerable amounts of
lead into the bay, followed by the second contributor (UD), Dissolved cadmium (DCd) dominated the particulate form (PCd). Both decreased seaward,
showing a decrease versus salinity. UD and MCC effluents beside inputs from
atmosphere were responsible for introduction of great amounts of DCd into
the bay. The MCC effluent introduces high amounts of PCd into the bay

Abstract: Recent reports from our laboratory on the occurrence of methylbutyltins in marine sediments and seawater suggest that these compounds are
formed in the environment by the methylation of both tributyltin (TBT) and that
of its degradation products, i.e. dibutyltin and monobutyltin, to give MeBu(4n)Sn for which n = 1, 2 and 3 respectively. We investigated the possibility of
inducing methylation of TBT in seawater-sediment mixtures in experiments carried out in vitro using environmental materials collected from a yacht marina
in Msida, Malta. Three water-sediment mixtures, which were shown to contain
TBT, dibutyltin and monobutyltin but no other organotins, were spiked with tributyltin chloride (90 mg in 100 ml sea-water/100 ml sediment); to one mixture
was added sodium acetate and to another methanol, to act as possible additional carbon sources, and all mixtures were allowed to stand at 25 degreesC
in stoppered clear-glass bottles in diffused light for a maximum of 315 days.
Speciation and quantification of organotins was performed using aqueous
phase boroethylation with simultaneous solvent extraction followed by gas
chromatography with flame photometric detection. The atmosphere inside the
bottles quickly became reducing with abundant presence of H2S, and after an
induction period of about 112 days, and only in the reaction mixture containing
methanol, methyltributyltin (MeBu3Sn) was observed in both sediment (maximum concentration 0.87 mug(Sn) g(-1)) and overlying water (maximum concentration 6.0 mug(Sn) 1(-1)). The minimum conversion yield of TBT into MeBu3Sn was estimated to be 0.3%. MeBu3Sn has a significantly lower affinity
for sediment than TBT and, therefore, is more mobile in the marine environment, possibly also migrating into the atmosphere to generate a hitherto unsuspected flux of organotin into that phase. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley &

Abstract: There is a great need for an integrated international effort in research and training using rapid, easy to use, biomarker and microscale ecotoxicity techniques. These techniques must be directed, coordinated and formulated into protocols that contribute to the prevention and reduction of marine pollution world-wide and the improvement of ocean and human health.
This need should be considered as urgent by marine environmental scientists,
managers and policy makers throughout the world. Our paper discusses such
techniques and suggests a four-point framework for advancing work towards

Abstract: An installation for the rapid determination of surfactants in seawater
using ion-selective electrodes was developed. The serviceability of the electrode was examined with reference solutions, and the electromotive force of
the measuring circuit was found to be a linear function of surfactant
concentration over the range 10(-6)-10(-2) M. The detection limit for anionic
surfactants was 0.3 mg/L. The ranges of random errors in the determination of
surfactants were calculated using a set of measurements within a series and
between series of check samples to be about 0.7 and about 6 rel %, respectively. The installation was tested under on-site conditions on shipboard in the
course of integrated marine studies of environmental conditions in the Baltic
Sea. Maximum marine pollution levels were detected in the near-shore zone;
this fact can be explained by waste discharge from sites where surfactants are
in wide residential and industrial use

Abstract: The former USSR illegally dumped into the ocean liquid and solid
radioactive wastes (RW) originating from nuclear-powered vessels and ships.
The Russian President created a special Commission to analyse both the scale and consequences of this activity. According to documentary data and expert estimates at the Commission's disposal, the maximum activity of RNV
that entered the seas adjacent to Russian territory could have been as much
as 2500 kCi at the time of disposal. The greatest radio-ecological hazard comes from reactors from nuclear submarines and core plates of the nuclear
icebreaker 'Lenin', which had spent nuclear fuel in place and which were
dumped in shallow water in the Kara Sea near Novaya Zemlya. Editor's note:
This article extracts material from a Commission which published a report

The authors of the draft report were A. Yablokov, V. Karasev, V. Rumyantsev,
M. Kokeev, O. Petrov, V. Lystsov, A. Yernelyanenkov and P. Rubtsov. After
approving the draft report, the Commission submitted the report to the President of the Russian Federation in February 1993. By Presidential decision,
this report (after several technical corrections) was open to the public: it is
known variously as 'the Yablokov Commission report, or more simply the 'Yablokov Report', the 'White Book' or 'Yablokov White Paper'. During April-May
1993, 500 copies were distributed among governmental agencies inside Russia, and abroad through a net of Russian Embassies. This article was later
sent to Dr Mike Champ as part of the ongoing collections of papers on the
Arctic published in this journal (edited by Champ et al.: 1997 'Contaminants in

Abstract: This paper introduces economic concepts and theory pertaining to
public policy issues and concerns about pollution in marine environments.
Many of these concepts and theories are unfamiliar to individuals and professionals outside the field of economics, such as biologists, ecologists, environmental lawyers, and even public policymakers. Yet many of these individuals observe economics in action, often for the first time, within a public policy arena. Exposure and a better understanding of the concepts and ideas in
economics that are particularly relevant for public policies can help to achieve
efficiencies in the form of better designed policies, and help to bridge communications gaps across other professions and the economics profession. (C)

Abstract: Levels of heavy metals are usually higher in adult than young birds
because they eat larger, more contaminated prey, or because they have had
longer to accumulate metals in their tissues. Further, levels of contaminants
are usually less in birds nesting on remote, offshore islands than in birds
breeding closer to mainland areas that are urbanized and industrialized. We
examined the feather levels of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, mercury, and selenium in adult sooty terns (Sterna fuscata), gray-backed
terns (Sterna lunata), and brown noddy (Anous stolidus, and adult and young
white terns (Gygis alba, from Midway Atoll, and in adult and young sooty terns
and adult brown noddy from Manana Island, Hawaii (chicks of other terns were not available). We tested and rejected the null hypotheses that metal levels
are not significantly different among species, ages, and locations. Despite
their small size, adult white terns had the highest levels of lead, arsenic and
tin. Brown noddies had the highest levels of cadmium, chromium, manganese,
and selenium. Sooty and white terns had the highest levels of mercury. Sooty
tern adults had significantly higher levels of cadmium, mercury, and selenium
than young, while young had significantly higher levels of arsenic and manganese. White tern adults had significantly higher levels of selenium and tin than
young, while young had higher levels of cadmium and mercury than adults.
Except for mercury, there were significant inter-location differences within
species in all heavy metals. Contrary to expectation, where the differences
were great, metals generally were higher in the feathers of terns and noddies
from Midway than from Manana

Abstract: A three-dimensional non-orthogonal curvilinear model of the Celtic
Sea, Irish Sea and North Channel has been applied to the study of the windinduced dynamics of the North Channel. With a resolution of approximately I
km in the North Channel, the model resolves the complex topography and
horizontal flow variability in the channel. The large geographical domain enables the inclusion of far field forcing and is thus a significant improvement on
high resolution localized grids of the region. Initial simulations with uniform
winds of varying orientation with respect to the channel demonstrate the importance of adequate representation of far field effects, with wind-induced surface elevation gradients playing a significant role in both the magnitude and
direction of predicted depth-mean currents. Model predictions for two periods
in 1994 (24 January-8 February and 12-22 September) compare well with observed currents when spatially varying wind forcing is applied. The poor predictions resulting from the use of non-spatially varying winds and a smaller
model domain further emphasize the importance of appropriate representation
of far field effects. The significance of a storm event on 3-4 February is discussed in the context of a 4-month period of model simulations and the consequence of these findings for our understanding of the mechanisms governing the flushing of the Irish Sea is considered. Crown Copyright (C) 2001

Abstract: Although benthic infaunal communities are commonly measured to
assess the effectiveness of environmental management in protecting biological resources, the tools used to interpret the resulting data are often subjective or site specific. We present an objective, quantitative index for application
throughout the southern California coastal shelf environment that measures
the condition of a benthic assemblage, with defined thresholds for levels of
environmental disturbance. The index was calculated using a two-step process in which ordination analysis was employed to quantify a pollution gradient within a 717-sample calibration data set. The pollution tolerance of each
species was determined based upon its distribution of abundance along the
gradient. The index is calculated as the abundance-weighted average pollution tolerance of species in a sample. Thresholds were established for reference condition as well as for four levels of biological response. Reference
condition was established as the index value in samples taken distant from
areas of anthropogenic activity and for which no contaminants exceeded the
effects range low (ERL) screening levels. The four response levels were established as the index values at which key community attributes were lost. Independent data sets were used to validate the index in three ways. First, index
sensitivity to a spatial gradient of exposure to a discharge from a point source
was tested. Second, index response to a temporal gradient of exposure to a
discharge from a point source was examined, testing index robustness to natural temporal variation. Third, the effect of changes in natural habitat (e.g.,
substrate, depth, and latitude) on index sensitivity was tested by evaluating
the ability of the index to segregate samples taken in areas with high and low
chemical exposure, across a gradient of physical habitats

Abstract: Despite posted warnings and educational campaigns warning about
the health risks associated with storm water pollution, swimmers continue to
swim in coastal areas polluted by storm water runoff. This study uses a simple
spatial model of beach visitation to show how beach amenities and storm
drains influence the way in which beach goers choose to locate themselves at
beaches in Santa Monica Bay, California. The estimated models indicate that
passive means of preventing exposure to marine pollution (e.g., posted signs)
could be made significantly more effective if combined with the active management of other beach amenities. Similar methods also could be used to reduce risks to swimmers from other hazards including riptides and boat traffic

Abstract: A toxicity test was developed to examine the effects of metal contaminants on the sensitive early Life history stages of the common Antarctic
echinoid Sterechinus neumayeri (Meissner). Embryos and larvae of the sea
urchin were exposed to the metals copper, cadmium, zinc and lead, and the
effects of each metal on development to hatched blastulae after 6 to 8 d, and
to 2-arm plutei after 20 to 23 d were monitored. These metals are common in
Antarctic marine environments and are often found at elevated levels at sites
subject to anthropogenic inputs. For all metals tested, the longterm test to the
2-arm pluteus stage was more sensitive than the short-term test. Copper was
the metal most toxic to developing embryos and larvae of S, neumayeri with
EC50s of 11.4 mug l(-1) and 1.4 mug l(-1) following 6 to 8 d and 20 to 23 d
exposure respectively. Exposure to cadmium at concentrations greater than 2
mg l(-1) caused a significant decrease in the proportion of embryos developing normally to hatched blastulae (EC50 = 6.9 mg l(-1)) and concentrations
greater than 0.2 mg l(-1), caused a decrease in normal 2-arm plutei. EC50 values calculated for zinc were 2230 and 326.8 mug l(-1) for the short- and longterm tests respectively. Lead had no effect on development of embryos following 7 d exposure at all concentrations tested (up to 3.2 mg l(-1)). As the concentration of Cu shown to inhibit development of S. neumayeri is similar to le-
- 114 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
vels found at impacted sites in Antarctic nearshore environments, results of
this study indicate that this metal may have an impact on the development of
S. neumayeri. The sensitivity of S, neumayeri to copper and cadmium in tests
based on development to hatched blastulae (6 to 8 d) are generally comparable to results of tests on echinoids from tropical and temperate regions that
use development to 2-arm plutei (2 to 4 d) as the end-point. However, the Antarctic species is more sensitive to copper and cadmium than the tropical and
temperate species if the tests are continued to the same stage of development, the pluteus larva (20 to 23 d for the Antarctic species). Comparing the
tolerance of a key developmental stage common to all planktotrophic sea urchins may be more ecologically relevant than simply comparing exposure over
a fixed period of time, because for an embryo to survive to adulthood it must
successfully complete all development stages. This is the first reported evidence that Antarctic species could be more sensitive to contaminants than
species from warmer regions

Abstract: Gas chromatographic analysis of the hydrocarbons of environmental samples often reveals that unresolved complex mixtures (UCMs) or gas
chromatographic "humps" of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are most
abundant-yet little consideration seems to have been given to the possible
toxicological impacts of hydrocarbon "humps". Here we show, using a wellaccepted bioassay, that monoaromatic components of a UCM of hydrocarbons from a crude oil elicit a sublethal toxic response in a typical marine pollution indicator organism (the mussel, Mytilus edulis). Furthermore, coastal U.K.
mussels shown previously to have unexplained impaired health contained
high concentrations of UCMs , including monoaromatic UCMs. These findings
may have important implications for our understanding of the toxicological sublethal effects of oil residues in the environment. Given the relatively resistant
nature of UCM hydrocarbons, the effects of both acute oil spills and more
chronic discharges may need further consideration

Abstract: Port Pirie is the site of the largest lead smelter in the world, depositing 250 t of zinc, and 100 t of lead annually into Spencer Gulf. Barker Inlet is
adjacent to metropolitan Adelaide, and receives unknown quantities of urban
and industrial discharges. Both areas are sites of major commercial and recreational fisheries, contained within delicately balanced marine wetland ecosystems, comprising large areas of mangrove and seagrass habitats, Aldrichetta forsteri and Sillago schomburgkii are major species within these fisheries and as estuarine-dependent species were chosen for this study as indicator species for the detection and monitoring of pollutant impacts in the
nearshore marine ecosystems of South Australia. Seston sediment collectors
were deployed at each site and analysed seasonally for the presence of cadmium, lead and copper, Flesh samples from A. forsteri and S. schomburgkii
were examined seasonally for the presence of cadmium, lead and copper and
the results correlated with levels found in the seston sediment at each site,
Metal concentrations were also correlated with a biomarker of genotoxicity
measured in the same animals (micronuclei in erythrocytes) that were reported previously, Seston levels of cadmium, lead and copper were highest at
Port Pirie, followed by Barker Inlet and were lowest at Wills Creek, with cadmium undetectable at the latter site, Metals in seston varied considerably with
season, with generally higher levels in winter samples. In fish flesh, metal levels followed broadly similar trends as for seston, Spearman rank correlations
between metals in seston and in flesh were strongly positive. There was also
a significant correlation between flesh concentrations of each metal and the
frequency of micronuclei in erythrocytes, This study has shown that seston
concentration of pollutant metals are high in areas of industrial activity, and
that these levels are also reflected in metal content of fish flesh, Mean flesh
levels of cadmium and copper did not exceed Australian health based maximum permitted levels of fish for human consumption, whereas flesh levels of
lead in fish from Port Pirie and Barker Inlet exceeded these standards in each
of the seasons monitored. This may represent a significant dietary source of
lead in humans, especially at Port Pirie where human lead exposure from terrestrial sources is important. There may also be the potential for accumulation of metals in residents of metropolitan Adelaide whose diets are high in
fish (and/or crustaceans), particularly estuarine-dependent species, such as
A. forsteri and S, schomburgkii, The study also showed that a non-specific
biomarker of genotoxicity (micronuclei in erythrocytes) is potentially useful as
a monitoring technique in fish species to evaluate their exposure and genotoxic responses to pollutants in South Australian waters. These data represent
a snapshot of the current situation in this area and may act as background levels against which future improvements or decrements in water quality may
be compared, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, mercury, selemium, and tin concentrations were measured in the feathers of Cape cormorant (Phalacrocorax capensis), Hartlaub's gull (Larus hartlaubii), kelp gull (Larus dominicanus), and lesser flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) from the coast
of Namibia in southern Africa. Metal concentrations in feathers represent the
concentrations in the blood supply at the time of feather formation. Cape
Cormorants are piscivores; kelp gulls are primarily piscivores; Hartlaub's gull
is an omnivore; and lesser flamingos eat primarily blue-green algae and invertebrates filtered from the water and sediment of hypersaline lagoons. We predicted that metal concentrations would reflect these trophic level differences.
There were significant species differences in the concentrations of all metals,
with flamingos having the lowest levels, and cormorants having the highest levels of 4 metals but not mercury. The gulls had the highest levels of mercury,
perhaps reflecting their more scavenging behavior

Abstract: Organotin compounds, including tributyltin (IBT), are a class of the
most toxic xenobiotics occurring in aquatic systems. High concentration levels
in waters and sediments are mainly due to their extensive use as biocides and
high persistence when present in sediments under anaerobic conditions.
Toxicity studies have revealed the acute effects of TBT for aquatic organisms
at concentrations as low as 1 mug/L, and the induction of imposer at levels
below 0.5 ng/L TBT (as Sn). At 20 ng/L TBT (as Sn) causes sterility and is followed with the disappearance of the most sensitive neogastropods on a given
shore. Imposer is the most sensitive response of all known pathological conditions for nontarget organisms following an exposure to tributyltin. In this study
results are discussed that were obtained from two monitoring sites with different anthropogenic background using imposer monitoring as an indicator of

Abstract: The impact of marine pollution was estimated from seven stations
of Kuwait coastal waters. The mean concentrations of all trace metals in seawater (0.07-7.04 mug/l) and in phytoplankton (14.90-52.01 mug/g) revealed
less phytoplankton abundance in Stations IV-VI during the four seasons.
However, a relative surge in the phytoplankton abundance, with an increase in
the mean concentrations of all trace metals in seawater (0.15-8.94 mug/l) and
phytoplankton (22.82-61.25 mug/g), was observed in Station II. A low phytoplankton abundance was noted in Stations I, III, and VII despite low mean
concentrations of all the trace metals in seawater (0.11-5.77 mug/l) and phytoplankton (1.40-20 mug/g) during the four seasons. Statistical tests revealed
significant difference in Fe, Ni, and Pb between the four seasons in seawater
and Fe and Co in phytoplankton. No significant difference in trace metals bet-

ween locations was observed in seawater and in phytoplankton. The major
nutrients in all the four seasons were found in the magnitude of SiO3 > NO3 >
PO4 in all the stations, and thus, support the presence of rich diatoms and dinoflagellates than other phytoplankton groups. The seven stations also represented indicator species of oil and industrial waste pollution. (C) 2001 Elsevier

Abstract: These studies showed sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim to be stable at salinities of 0 and 30 ppt and at pHs of 2, 7, and 12 for a period of 1
year. Sulfadimethoxine was stable at 25 degreesC and 37 degreesC, but
showed a marked decrease in concentration at 4 degreesC. Warming of the 4
degreesC sample resulted in a return to original drug levels indicating that the
drug had redistributed out of the aquatic phase at the lower temperature, Ormetoprim concentrations were stable at all temperatures evaluated. The concentrations of both sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim were unaffected by the
presence of silica sand, high density poly-ethylene, or poly-vinyl chloride. The
presence of bentonite clay caused a reduction in ormetoprim concentrations
while sulfadimethoxine was unchanged by this substrate. Acidification of the
sample containing the bentonite clay resulted in a return of ormetoprim concentration to original levels. From these studies, it is apparent that the potential environmental half-lives for these drugs must exceed 1 year and are likely
to be several years in duration. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: Six seaweed species of the Rhodophyta family were sampled for a
two-year period from June 1996 to August 1998 along the Atlantic coast of
Ghana (part of the Atlantic Ocean). The species were analysed to determine
the levels of eleven chemical elements namely: Al, As, Br, Cd, Fe, La, Mn, Ni,
Hg, V and Zn by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Al, Br, Ni,
and Zn were measured in all the seaweed species studied. The element Al
generally showed the highest concentrations in most of the species analysed
while Hg levels were the lowest. Precision and accuracy of the method have
been evaluated and the detection limits also calculated. The results showed
high variability in and between species, among sampling sites and times of
collection. The high values of metal concentrations in the macroalgae suggest
that these marine organisms can be used as biological indicators for studing

Abstract: Effects of oxidative stress induced by xenobiotic compounds were
studied in primary cultures of isolated hepalocytes of immature European
flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) of both sexes caught in a relatively unpolluted
area of the German Eight (North Sea). Cells were exposed to oxidative stressors such as 100 muM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 100 muM benzo[a]pyrene
(B[a]p) and 50 muM nitrofurantoin (N-(5-nitro-2-furfurylidene)-1aminohydantoin; NF) for 2 and 24 h. Cell mortality was determined with the
use of the fluorescent ethidium homodimer-1 and calcein. Oxidative stress
response was assessed by quantitative analysis of (1) intracellular reactive
oxygen species (ROS) formation with dihydrorhodamine 123, (2) lipid peroxidation on the basis of concentrations of lipid hydroperoxides and the lipid peroxidation products malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)
and (3) cellular total oxidant-scavenging capacity (TOSC) using the TOSC assay (Winston et al., 1998). An increase in ROS formation was detected as
early as 2 h after exposure to H2O2, B[a]p and NF. After 24 h, stress responses were lower, except following exposure to NF. The pattern of responses
differed with the different oxidative stressors. Lipid peroxidation and the capa-
- 120 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
city to scavenge ROS were increased significantly in both sexes only after exposure to H2O2, whereas B[a]p and NF provoked sex-dependent responses.
B[a]p-induced lipid peroxidation and increase in scavenging capacity were observed only in hepatocytes of females, whereas NF initiated these responses
only in cells of males. Sex differences in oxidative stress response only after
exposure to pro-oxidants that require enzymatic activation infer the importance of biotransformation pathways in stress responses. Because of their sensitivity to oxidative stress, flounder hepatocytes provide a useful model for early
risk assessment of xenobiotics. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: The results from an investigation of dinoflagellate cysts as indicators of eutrophication in Tokyo Bay, Japan, by Matsuoka [Sci Total Environ
231 (1999) 17] are discussed with reference to other pertinent literature not
discussed in the original article. Both the Japanese study and previous work
from Norwegian fjords show that pollution (including cultural eutrophication)
may produce changes in the phytoplankton reflected by a shift from more autotrophic - to more heterotrophic - dominance of cyst assemblages. However,
this is a proportional change that seems likely to result from reduced autotrophic production rather than the increased heterotrophic production suggested by Matsuoka. This is not unequivocal evidence of eutrophication, since
Tokyo Bay is impacted also by heavy industrial pollution, the possible effects
of which cannot be distinguished. and the quantitative method used for estimating changes in cyst productivity is flawed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: The Malacca Straits have long been an important trade route linking the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean. From the
- 121 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
seventh to the eleventh century, the Srivijaya empire controlled them, followed
in the fifteenth century by the port kingdom of Malacca. Western maritime powers also recognized the strategic importance of the Straits, and in 1511, the
Portuguese captured Malacca. In 1641, the Dutch occupied what is now
known as Jakarta, and from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century, the
Dutch East India company controlled the trade in the Straits (Ross et al,,
1995). The British also recognized the need to control the Straits to ensure the
safe passage of British merchant ships on their way to China, and in 1819 established a colony in Singapore. In 1824, the British and the Dutch ended their
rivalry with a treaty whereby Britain agreed to 'safeguard the Straits and keep
them open for other friendly nations' (Chia, 1998). In recent years, the Straits
have become a very important trade route. In 1993 and 1995, over 100 000 oil
and cargo vessels traversed it each year, carrying 3.23 million barrels of crude
oil through the Straits each day (Sakura Institute of Research, 1998), Shipping
accidents have occurred more frequently, recently, which is attributed to heavy traffic in the Straits with shallow, narrow channels and shoals, Despite these hazards, economic efficiency dictates that vessels continue to use the
Straits. The Straits are also rich in renewable and non-renewable resources,
including productive coastal ecosystems, extensive capture fisheries, aquaculture, coastal tourism, mining and valuable natural gas reserves. This chapter
looks at the natural environmental conditions and the status of the coastal resources, the sustainability of existing activities, critical environmental problems
and management. It is based on the Malacca Straits Environmental Profile
(Chua et al., 1997) and other studies undertaken by the GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme for Marine Pollution Prevention and Management in the
East Asian Seas, referred to as the Regional Programme in this document.

Abstract: Trematomus bernacchii sampled from two sites at Ross Island, Antarctica, were assessed for condition (gonadal and hepatic somatic indices
and condition factor), pathological state (liver and gill histology), hepatic metal
(Zn, Cu, Cd and Ni) concentrations, and metallothionein induction by quantitative competitive (qc) RT-PCR. Fish from a polluted site (Winter Quarters Bay)
had pathological anomalies including necrosis and periductal inflammation in
their livers, and X-cell disease, epithelial hyperplasia, lamellar fusion and
aneurysms in their gills. Such anomalies were less common in fish from a relatively pristine site (Backdoor Bay, Cape Royds). Fish from both sites had similar liver concentrations of Zn, Cu and Cd and qcRT-PCR revealed similar
levels of hepatic metallothionein mRNA. Ni in the livers of fish from Winter
- 122 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
Quarters Bay were higher than those in fish from Backdoor Bay, but the differences were not great enough to affect hepatic metallothionein mRNA significantly. Despite the polluted state of Winter Quarters Bay waters, it seems that
the heavy metals present may have only limited impact on the health status of
fish collected from this locality. This may reflect a low bioavailability of the
heavy metals in Ross Island marine sediments and suggests that other factors, such as relatively high levels of organic pollutants (PAHs, PCBs) or pathogens from the nearby sewage outlet, may play a more significant role in the
aetiology of pathological conditions in fish from Winter Quarters Bay. (C) 2000

Abstract: An algal biosensor for toxicity assessment of estuarine waters is
proposed. The sensor was obtained by coupling a suited algal bioreceptor
(the cyanobacterium Spirulina subsalsa) to an amperometric gas diffusion
electrode. The analytical device allows the monitoring of the evolution of photosynthetic O-2 and the detection of alterations due to toxic effects caused by
environmental pollutants present in the medium. Four chemical species representative of three main different classes of pollutants (heavy metals, triazinic
herbicides, carbamate insecticides) were tested at different concentrations
using a standardized natural water as experimental medium. In all the cases a
toxic response was detected (i.e. a dose-related inhibition of photosynthetic
activity was recorded) with good reproducibility. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science

Abstract: The green mussel (Perna viridis) samples were collected from Indonesian coastal waters and some other Asian countries in the period of
1997-1998 to elucidate the present status of marine pollution by butyltin compounds (BTs) including mono- (MBT), di- (DBT), and tributyltin (TBT). BTs were detected in all the mussel samples from Indonesian coastal waters in the
range of 3.7 to 64 ng/g wet wt as total butyltins (Sigma BTs =
MBT+DBT+TBT). The highest concentrations were found in green mussels
from Jakarta Bay and Surabaya coastal waters. Relatively higher concentrations of BTs were detected in the mussels from adjacent areas of high maritime activities such as marina, harbour and fishing port. This suggests pollution
of BTs arising from TBT usage in antifouling paints. BTs were also detected in
mussels from aquaculture areas, implying TBT usage for fisheries activity. The
composition of butyltin derivatives in green mussels from Indonesian coastal
waters were in the order of TBT>MBT>DBT, suggesting fresh input of TBT in
the marine environment. The contamination levels of BTs in green mussels
from Indonesia were comparable or lower than those from other Asian developing countries. The elevated concentrations of BTs ware found in mussels
from some areas of Thailand, Philippines, India and Malaysia where residue
levels of BTs were comparable to those in developed nations

Abstract: To elucidate the global distribution and toxicological impacts of persistent organochlorines (OCs) on cetaceans, the present study determined the
concentrations of organochlorine pesticides such as DDT and its metabolites
(DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB),
chlordane compounds (CHLs) and PCBs including toxic coplanar congeners
in the blubber of 10 species of adult male odontoceti cetaceans collected from
several locations in the North Pacific Ocean and coastal waters of Japan,
Hong Kong, Philippines and India during 1985-1997. Concentrations of tris(4chlorophenyl) methane (TCPMe) and tris(4-chlorophenyl)methanol
- 124 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
(TCPMOH), which are among the newly identified contaminants, were also
determined. Residue pattern was in the order of DDTs greater than or equal to
PCBs>CHLs>HCHs>HCB>TCPMOH>TCPMe. Greater DDT concentrations
were found in cetaceans from the Japan Sea, coastal waters of Hong Kong
and India, indicating serious marine pollution in industrialized Asian nations
and current usage of DDTs in tropical regions. In general, cetaceans inhabiting cold and temperate waters contained relatively higher concentrations of
PCBs, HCHs, CHLs and HCB as compared with those from tropical regions,
reflecting atmospheric transport from the tropical sources to the northern
sinks. Latitudinal distribution of TCPMe and TCPMOH in cetaceans from the
North Pacific Ocean and Asian coastal waters was similar to that of DDTs,
suggesting the less transportable nature of TCPMe and TCPMOH in the marine environment. Penta- and hexa-chlorobiphenyls ware the predominant PCB
congeners, accounting for about 70% of the total PCBs. 2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin equivalents (TEQs) of non- and mono-ortho coplanar PCBs in the blubber of cetaceans ranged from 36 (in spinner dolphin
from Philippines) to 510pg/g wet wt tin humpbacked dolphin from I-long
Kong). Toxic evaluation of coplanar PCBs using TEQ concept indicates an increasing impact on cetaceans from mid-latitudes. Mono-ortho congener IUPAC 118 or non-ortho congener IUPAC 126 was estimated to have the greatest toxicity contribution. The estimated TEQ concentrations in the blubber of
some cetacean species exceeded the level associated with immunosuppresion in harbour seals

Abstract: Chemical fingerprinting approach to environmental assessment is
illustrated in the evaluation of marine oil pollution in the coasts using two limpet species as bioindicator organisms, and based on profiles and concentrations of n-alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons in their tissues. Accidental and
chronic releases of hydrocarbons can contaminate the marine environment of
the Canary Islands not only because of their geographical situation but also
because of the very dense tanker traffic around. This situation affects coastal
areas, fishing activities, tourism resort, etc. Concentrations of n-alkanes and
aromatic hydrocarbons (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and methylpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in the soft tissues of the marine intertidal
and subtidal limpets, Patella crenata and Patella ullysiponensis aspera, were
evaluated. Limpet samples were collected at monthly intervals, at three locations on the southeast coast of Tenerife over a 3-year period (1991-93). Levels of hydrocarbons found in limpets are similar to concentrations found in
unpolluted areas around the world. From application of principal component

Abstract: Contamination by butyltin (BTs) and organochlorine compounds
(OCs) in green mussels collected along the coastal areas of Thailand, Philippines and India during the period of 1994-1997 was examined. The BT residues in green mussel were widely detected, suggesting a widespread contamination along the coastal waters of Asian developing countries. Relatively
high concentrations of BTs in green mussel were found in high boating activity
and coastal aquaculture areas, implying the usage of TBT as a biocide in antifouling paints used on boat hulls and marine aquaculture facilities. The composition of BT derivatives in mussel was in the order of TBT > DBT > MET,
suggesting also the presence of significant butyltin source in Asian coast. BT
residues pattern in green mussels from Thailand revealed higher levels in
aquaculture than in boating activity sites. This result may indicate that the developing countries showing high economic growth rate (like Thailand) tend to
increase the usage of TBT for aquaculture activities. BT contamination levels
in Asian developing countries were lower than those in developed nations.
However, considering the fact that the unregulated usage of organotins in
Asian developing countries and the increasing demand for antifouling paints in
Asia-Pacific regions, BTs contamination in aquatic environment may be serious in future. Concentrations of OCs detected in green mussels were lower
than BTs. Considerable residues of p. p'-DDT found in mussel indicated the
current usage of DDTs in Asian regions. HCHs and DDTs contamination in
India is apparently higher than in other Asian developing countries. The present study clearly indicates that the aquatic environment in Asia-Pacific regions is still being contaminated by some OCs. To our knowledge, this is a
first report on the detection of butyltin compounds in green mussels (Perna viridis) from Thailand, Philippines and India. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All

Abstract: The southern Atlantic coasts of Morocco are known for their fisheries resources and touristic beaches. Although, part of this ecosystem received several types of pollutants which are discharged in the seawater without any treatment. In previous studies, in which acetylcholinesterase and glutathione S-transferase activities were used as biomarkers of pollution in Agadir Bay, we demonstrated that marine organisms (Donax trunculus, Mytilus
galloprovincialis, Perna perna) living at the sites receiving domestic and industrial wastewater were affected (Najimi et al. 1997; Kaaya et al. 1999; Lagbouri,
1997). The study of these organism's biology showed many perturbations in
the reproductive cycle and growth (Id-Halla et al. 1997; Lagbouri, 1997). In order to determinate whether metallic pollution was responsible for these perturbations, three heavy metals (zinc as essential metal, cadmium and copper
known to have toxic effects) were analyzed in mussels. In fact, heavy metals
were waste products of many industrial processes and were important causes
of environmental pollution (Viarengo, 1985; Viarengo, 1989). Data about heavy metals in marine organisms from Moroccan coasts were rare and limited to
the north Atlantic coasts (El Hraiki et al. 1994, Cheggour et al. 1999). The
purpose of the present study was to assess the trace-metal content (Cd, Cu
and Zn) in two species of mussels, the Mediterranean mussel M. galloprovincialis and the Africans mussel P. perna, collected in the Agadir bay (South of
Morocco). The accumulation and transformation capabilities of pollutants make these sentinel organisms suitable for marine pollution monitoring (Lower
and Kendall, 1990). The choice of Cd, Cu and Zn in this study, resided in the
fact that they were the most heavy metals present in the wastewater in the
area studied (Bari, 1994). Otherwise, this work constituted also a contribution
in the assessment of the heavy metal level in the African North-West coasts
which were characterized by an important upwelling. It completes the studies
realized in the Mauritanian part of these coasts, by Romeo and GnassiaBarelli (1988) and Sidoumou et al. (1992, 1999). Considering that many factors could affect the trace metals bioaccumulation in mollusks, e.g. physiological state, size and season (Romeo and Gnassia-Barelli 1988), our study investigated the metallic concentrations according to the season, animal size
and distribution in organs. It was realized in two different sites of the Agadir
bay

Abstract: To elucidate the global distribution and toxicological impacts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on cetaceans, the present study determined
the concentrations of individual PCB congeners, including toxic non-ortho (IU
PAC Nos. 77, 126, 169) and mono-ortho (IUPAC Nos. 105, 118, 156) coplanar congeners, in the blubber of 10 species of adult male odontocetes collected from several locations in the North Pacific Ocean and along coastal waters
of Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and India during 1985-1997. Total PCB
concentrations in cetaceans from temperate and cold waters were higher than
those in cetaceans from tropical regions. Residue levels were found to be the
highest in Fraser's dolphins collected off Kii Peninsula, Japan, and humpbacked dolphins from Hong Kong, reflecting Serious marine pollution by PCBs
in industrialized Asian countries. Penta- and hexa-chlorobiphenyls were the
predominant PCB congeners, accounting for about 70% of the total PCBs.
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin equivalents (TEQs) of non- and monoortho coplanar PCBs in the blubber of cetaceans ranged from 36 (in spinner
dolphins from the Philippines) to 510 pg/g wet weight (in hump-backed dolphins from Hong Kong). Toxic evaluation of coplanar PCBs using the TEQ concept indicates an greater impact on cetaceans from mid-latitudes. Toxicity
contribution of mono-ortho congener IUPAC 118 was prominent in species
from high latitude oceans, such as the Bering Sea and the North Pacific, whereas non-ortho congener IUPAC 126 accounted for the highest contribution in
cetaceans from lower latitude regions, such as the Philippines and India. The
estimated TEQ concentrations in the blubber of some cetacean species, such
as northern right whale dolphin and Pacific white-sided dolphin from the northern North Pacific, Dall's porpoise from the Japan Sea, striped dolphin off
Sanriku and Fraser's dolphin off Kii Peninsula, Japan, hump-backed dolphin
and finless porpoise from Hong Kong, exceeded the levels associated with
immunosuppression in harbour seals

Abstract: Australia's National Plan to Combat Pollution of the Sea by Oil and
Other Noxious and Hazardous Substances (the National Plan) has operated
- 128 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
since 1973, The objectives of the National Plan are based on Australia's obligations as a signatory to the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation 1990 and a responsibility to protect natural and artificial (man made) environments from the adverse effects of oil pollution and minimise those effects where protection is not possible, The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is the managing agency of the National Plan, working together with the States and Northern Territory governments, other Commonwealth agencies, ports, and the shipping, oil and exploration industries, to maximise Australia's marine pollution response capability.
The 1990s have been a period of significant change for oil spill response
arrangements in Australia. The National Plan was extended in 1998 to cover
chemical spills and is currently in the process of implementing the oil spill response incident control system (OSRICS), A fixed wing aerial dispersant spraying capability was implemented in 1996 and a research and development
program has been put in place, The development of a computer-based National Oil Spill Response Atlas was a major project completed during 1999. (C)

Abstract: To assess the short-term trend of pollution by hexachlorobenzene
(HCB), chlorophenols, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) emitted to a marine environment, existing and former loads were estimated based on pollutant
concentrations in water, blue mussels, and sediment, using partitioning calculations. The study included chemical analyses of organochlorines in sediment
samples, caged mussels, and semipermeable membrane devices (SPMD) incubated in the water column and in the outflow from an adjacent plant in order
to find out whether the high pollutant concentrations found in the superficial
sediment corresponded to former or existing discharges. A comparison was
made of hypothetical water concentrations calculated from values determined
in SPMDs, mussels, and sediment, assuming equilibrium in the distribution of
the pollutants between mussels and water or sediment and water. Sedimentderived water concentrations of HCB in the vicinity of the outlet were much
higher than the water concentrations calculated from SPMDs or mussels, indicating that the discharges of HCB from a local source were strongly reduced
during the past decade. It is concluded that partitioning calculations applied on
analytical data from mussels and superficial sediment, when combined with
SPMD data, make possible the detection of short-term changes of environmental loads of hydrophobic pollutants

Abstract: Little is known about marine filamentous fungi and yeasts, almost
nothing about their life and metabolism under deep sea conditions. Data on
growth and metabolic activity give insight into the role of organisms in the marine habitat. Degradation studies on pollutants, such as polymeric thermoplasts, provide information about the self-cleaning capacity of a habitat.
Therefore, recently isolated fungal strains from the deep sea and our newly
developed methods and apparatus for investigation of fungi under simulated
deep sea conditions were used to study fungal growth and degradation of a
commercially produced thermoplastic polymer (poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid
= PHB). Two deep sea isolates, a filamentous fungus (Aspergillus ustus) and
one yeast (Rhodosporidium sphaerocarpum), and for comparison, two marine
surface yeast isolates (Candida guilliermondii, Debaryomyces hansenii) and
one terrestrial isolate of Aspergillus ustus were investigated. Growth (colonyforming units, dry weight), physiological parameters (oxygen saturation of the
hydraulic fluid as oxygen reservoir, pH and consumption of total carbohydrate)
and PHB degradation (clearing test: clearing of PHB-turbid agar medium;
spectrophotometric test: PHB depolymerase activity) were followed after incubation in high-pressure autoclaves in artificial seawater medium at 27 degrees
C and pressures of 0.1 MPa (= atmospheric pressure), 5 MPa, 10 MPa, 20
MPa, 30 MPa, 45 or 50 MPa and 100 MPa (similar to 10 000 m water depth)
for a maximum of 21 days (yeasts) and 28 days (filamentous fungi), respectively. Irrespective of the marine or terrestrial origin of the isolates, growth decreased with increasing pressure with a limit between 30 MPa and 50 MPa for
filamentous fungi and yeasts. Metabolic activity (consumption of medium
components) started to decrease from 20 MPa, ceasing at growth-limiting
pressures. Under atmospheric conditions, all strains degraded PHB in solid
medium, in liquid medium degradation was less and decreased further and/or
was delayed with increasing hydrostatic pressure; beyond 30 MPa, no PHB
degradation could be observed. In summary, it could be shown that growth,
metabolism and degradation of pollutants such as PHB by marine fungal
isolates was impaired with increasing pressure, showing one aspect of the
reduced self-cleaning capacity of the deep sea habitat

Abstract: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were analyzed in: sediment; coral
(Porites evermanni); fish (Stegastes fasciolatus, Neoniphon sammara, Acanthurus triostegus and Mulloidichthys vanicolensis); crab (Grapsus tenuicrustatus); lobster (Panulirus marginatus); and eel (Conger cinereus, Gymnothorax
flavimarginatus, G. undulatus and G. meleagris) samples collected from Tern
Island and the corresponding reference samples from Disappearing Island.
The two islands are part of French Frigate Shoals, a national wildlife refuge in
the North Pacific Ocean. The dominant congeners 118, 138 and 153 represent 22-25, 32-34, 12-39, 37-46 and 30-55% of the sum of PCBs in the coral,
sediment, fish, crab and eel, respectively. In general, high trophic species
such as eels were found to highly bioaccumulate PCBs. The total average
PCB concentrations were as high as 96 and 29 mu g/g dry wt, in eels and
damselfish, respectively, from Tern Island. The localized behavior and high
bioaccumulation potential for PCBs suggest that damselfish are an excellent
species for monitoring PCBs in small areas in the ocean. The high average
concentrations of the sum of PCBs in different food chain levels suggest that
pollution source(s) are around Tern Island and possibly around Disappearing
Island. Aroclor 1254 and its analogs are suspected sources responsible for
PCBs in the samples. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: Seabirds are excellent subjects for examination of heavy metals
because they are long-lived, feed at different distances from land, and exhibit
different trophic levels. In this paper we compare the levels of lead, cadmium,
mercury arsenic, chromium, manganese, selenium, and tin in the feathers of
birds nesting on Midway Atoll in the northern Pacific Ocean. We test the null
hypothesis that there are no interspecific differences in the levels of metals in
the feathers of the adult black-footed albatross (Diomedea nigripes), Laysan
albatross (Diomedea immutabilis), red-footed booby (Sula sula), great frigatebird (Fregata minor), Bonin petrel (Pterodroma hypoleuca), Christmas shear-

water (Puffinus nativitatis), red-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon rubricauda), wedgetailed shearwater (Puffinus pacificus), brown noddy (Anous stolidus), sooty
tern (Sterna fuscata), grey-backed tern (Sterna lunata), and white tern (Gygis
alba), and young of some of these species. There were interspecific differences in the levels of all metals for adults. Christmas shearwater had the highest
levels of lead, cadmium, selenium and manganese, but the second lowest levels of mercury. In general, metal levels were the lowest in the smallest species (white tern), but were not the highest in the largest species (black-footed
albatross), except for manganese, arsenic and mercury. There was a high variance in metal levels among adults for some species, but not for others. White tern adults were variable for lead, while Christmas shearwaters were variable for lead and cadmium. Compared to the means for metals in other birds
generally (after Burger, 1993), Christmas shearwaters had higher levels of
lead, white terns, brown noddy, Christmas shearwater, frigatebirds and Laysan albatrosses had higher levels of cadmium, and bonin petrel, wedge-tailed
shearwater, tropicbirds, frigatebirds, red-footed boobies, and both albatrosses
had higher levels of mercury. Whereas the means for lead and cadmium were
below the known effects levels, some individuals had levels high enough to
cause adverse effects in the birds. The mean values for mercury in Bonin petrel, red-tailed tropicbird, and black-footed albatross were higher than the levels known to cause adverse reproductive and behavioral effects. (C) 2000

Abstract: A year's monitoring of faecal pollution of marine coastal waters surrounding Messina was carried out in 1996/97. The distribution of faecal coliforms was evaluated in 15 stations located along the Sicilian coastline, sampled monthly in coincidence of the two opposing current phases ("montante"
and "scendente" currents) which characterise the Straits of Messina. The data
obtained provided a complete picture of hygienic-sanitary conditions of the
area and highlighted the presence of heavily polluted sites in correspondence
with river outflows. Higher bacterial counts were associated with lower salinity
values and higher ammonia concentrations; over an annual study, they occurred during the coldest months, showing the negative impact of continental
water inputs on the bacteriological quality of coastal waters

Abstract: Uncontrolled accumulation of wastes in marine environments involves an increase in organic substances and/or nutrients, as well as toxicity.
The consequences of this enrichment for the homeostasis of ecosystems are
unpredictable. The best studied consequence of such enrichment is eutrophication (Conti, 1996). Natural or anthropogenic eutrophication is the enrichment of a water body in nutrients, utilizable by algae. Sources of these nutrients are the atmosphere, rivers, soil erosion and runoff from catchment
areas, sewage, industrial effluents, fertilizers, and waste disposal from animal
farms. Mathematical models predicting pollutant dispersion and pollutant
bioavaibility may make a substantial contribution to the study of the marine
pollution phenomena and may be a valuable tool for the description of the pollution flux (Benedini and Cicioni, 1992). Generally, mathematical models refer
to the propagation and transport of particular pollutants originating from onepoint contamination sources and also in this case need a broad spectrum of
experimental data. This requirement is particularly true for sea ecosystems,
owing to the large number of required variables and to the various effects on
different species and ecosystems. For these reasons, biomonitoring programmes in sea environments are very important. Establishing the pollutant
level in organisms may help to evaluate the possible toxicity for various species at different levels of the trophic chain

Abstract: This paper reviews the current knowledge and environmental status
of Australian estuaries and continental margins in terms of sedimentary heavy
metals. Although only 2.5% of Australian estuaries and 0.1% of the adjacent
continental shelf have been surveyed for sedimentary heavy metals, some of
the most contaminated maritime areas in the world have been located in this
country. The most impacted regions are adjacent to single-purpose industrial
complexes, e.g. smelters, refineries and chlor-alkali plants, whereas Port
Jackson (Sydney) is by far the most contaminated mixed urbanized/industrialized estuary in Australia. The concentration of metals is substantially higher and more extensive in Australian estuaries than in sediments of
the contintental margin. Even the continental margin adjacent to central New
South Wales (NSW) where almost one third of the total Australian population
live, shows only minor environmental impact. These data demonstrate the effectiveness of estuarine environments to act as traps for pollutants, and conversely, how efficiently contaminants are dispersed from the high energy continental margins of Australia. In central NSW, the level of estuarine contamination is closely related to the extent of urbanization/industrialization. Extensive
areas of Port Jackson are contaminated with heavy metals, especially Pb and
Zn, and a large proportion of the estuary has sedimentary metals at concentrations where some adverse biological affects can be expected. Although
much of the contamination is a legacy of past poor industrial practice, high
metal concentrations in fluvial sediments entering the harbour indicate contaminants continue to be supplied to the waterway. There are many possible
sources, but stormwater and leachates from extensive reclamation at the upper reaches of some tributaries and embayments may be important. The political significance of the coastal zone and the extent of impact on this environmental has recently (and belatedly) been realized, and new Commonwealth
investigations and initiatives have been instigated. The first 'State of the Environment of the Marine Environment Report' has been completed and the
'Commonwealth Coastal Policy' has been initiated. However, the amount and
quality of sedimentary contaminant data available in the coastal zone is totally
inadequate to construct a national contaminant framework for this environment. This lack of good quality, regionally comparable data hinders the development of appropriate management strategies and construction of legislative
structures for the coastal zone

Abstract: Hg, Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations were determined in sediment
and in tissues of five species of soft-bottom marine macrophytes (Posidonia
oceanica, Cymodocea nodosa, Zostera noltii, Ruppia cirrhosa and Caulerpa
prolifera) along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Levels of metals were low
in most of the sampling stations and similar to those found by other authors in
uncontaminated zones. Certain locations, however, showed some degree of
contamination (Cambrils, Almassora, Alacant, Mar Menor and El Portus). In
Santa Pola we found high contents of metals in one sample of sediment due
to the high proportion of the fine fraction (particules < 63 mu m) and organic
matter, but not in the seagrass species. Mercury and zinc concentrations in
the sediment are correlated to those in at least some anatomic fractions of
Posidonia oceanica, Cymodocea nodosa and Caulerpa prolifera, suggesting
that these species reflect the levels of these metals in the environment. Lead
contents in the alga Caulerpa prolifera are also correlated to those in the sediment, while no significant correlations were obtained for cadmium. Among
the species studied, Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa seem to be
better biomonitors than Caulerpa prolifera

Abstract: This paper presents the results of investigations on the performance of nonceramic insulators in tropical held conditions. Six different types of
33 kV insulators (silicone rubber, EPDM composite, porcelain, and RTV coated porcelain) were installed at six different test sites exposed to marine, industrial, and clean environments in Sri Lanka and Tanzania. The visual scrutiny, hydrophobicity class (HC) and surface conductivity were used for the evaluation of the field performance. The silicone rubber and RTV coated insulators preserved the hydrophobic properties although some biological growth
was found on them. The EPDM insulators showed distinct surface changes.
At the same time, damage due to dry-band arcing appeared on the porcelain
insulators exposed to marine pollution

Abstract: A methodology to test the toxicity of marine and estuarine sediments was developed using postlarval organisms of the marine shrimp Penaeus schmitti and P. paulensis. The tests were conducted in aquariums with
a water feedback system and a sediment layer of 2 cm. The postlarvae exposure time to the sediments was 10, 28, and 52 d. The tested sediments were
collected in contaminated sites of Guanabara and Sepetiba Bays and at the
reference site of Ilha Grande inlet in Rio de Janerio, Brazil. The toxicity of the
sediments was evidenced with exposures of 28 d or longer. The sediment
from Saco do Engenho (Sepetiba Bay) was the most toxic, affecting the survival of both P. schmitti and P. paulensis. The sediment from Guanabara Bay
was toxic to P. schmitti, affecting its survival after 28 d of exposure

Abstract: The screening of a flounder cDNA library with a partial sequence of
ras gene from flounder (exons 1 and 2) allowed the isolation of two complete
cDNA sequences (ras1 and ras2) highly homologous to human Ki-rasb genes.
ras1 and ras2 sequences have an homology of 77.3% indicating that they represent two distinct genes, which differ particularly in their 3 regions. ras1 and
ras2 intron 1 sequencing revealed an homology of only 50%, confirming that
they represent two different genes. Both genes encode for a 188 amino-fluid
protein, a size characteristic of Ki-rasb proteins, ras1 protein has the stronger
homology to the human Ki-rasb protein (99%, identity) and ras2 presents a
85.5% of homology. Two transcripts of respectively 2 and 2.8 kb were identified by northern blots with either ras1 or 2 probes. Preneoplastic and neoplastic livers collected from 14 flounder did not present any mutation on the ras2
gene. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved

Abstract: Molecular biological procedures open up possibilities for the development of new biomarker assays for use in environmental monitoring studies.
Metallothionein (MT) is a useful biomarker for monitoring pollution by heavy
metals and since very little information is available on the genes for MT in marine invertebrates, studies have been initiated in order to develop probes for
use in biomarker assays for MT in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas). RNA
isolated from the gills of shore crabs was used to produce complementary
DNA (cDNA) from which two incomplete and two complete MT cDNAs have
been isolated and characterised. The first complete cDNA (cDNA-4) encodes
for a protein of 58 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 6151 Da;
the predicted amino acid sequence of this protein is identical to that determined earlier for MT-Ib isolated from cadmium-exposed crabs. The second
complete cDNA (cDNA-3) encodes a protein of 41 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 4484 Da; only the 5 C-terminal residues of this truncated MT differ from those at the corresponding positions of MT-Ib and this may
correspond to a 4100 Da MT also reported previously. The implications of
these findings and the use of these cDNAs as biomarkers in ecotoxicological
studies are discussed

Abstract: A three-dimensional non-orthogonal curvilinear model has been
developed for the Celtic Sea, Irish Sea and North Channel. With a maximum
resolution of approximately 1 km in the North Channel the model resolves the
complex topography and horizontal flow variability in this region, whilst the
large geographical domain enables the inclusion of far field forcing. Predicted
co-tidal charts of the region are in good agreement with published charts based on observed tidal elevations and from previous modeling studies. Comparisons of observed and predicted M-2 and S-2 tidal elevations and currents
suggested that in general, this model is considerably more accurate than a
previous large area, coarse resolution model of the region, and comparable
with previous high-resolution limited area models. The predicted tidal residual
how through the North Channel of 0.023 Sv is in good agreement with pre-
- 138 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
vious modelling studies. These residual currents showed considerable spatial
variability in the North Channel, clearly demonstrating the importance of a
high resolution grid in this region. Of particular interest are the predictions of a
strong cyclonic gyre at the mouth of Belfast Lough, and a strong southwards
coastal current along the Mull of Galloway, The latter may in part explain the
observations of fresher water in this region. Crown Copyright (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The contribution of gross riverine organochlorine pesticide (OCP)
transport to estuaries of Russian seas and Lake Baikal was determined to
help understand OCP transboundary transfer and to provide a basis for estimating Russia's contribution to global pollution by these pesticides. The official OGSNK/GSN data ranks sea/ocean/lake basins in the following order based upon the amounts of total OCPs received from agricultural use: Eastern
Arctic>Western Arctic>Pacific>Baltic>Caspian>Azov/Black>Baikal A similar
ranking was obtained using an independent set of data: Eastern Arctic>Pacific>Caspian>Western Arctic>Baltic>Azov/Black. In terms of riverine
flow-associated discharge of HCH isomers (i.e., sum of alpha-, beta- and
gamma-HCH) estuaries of the Kara, Okhotsk and Beloye (White)/Barents
seas received more pesticides than other seas. No HCH was discharged to
estuaries of the Eastern Siberian and Bering seas. For DDT and its derivative
(DDE), estuaries of the Kara, Caspian, Okhotsk and Baltic seas received the
greatest amounts. During our study period (1988-1996), HCH transport was
more prevalent in the majority of rivers reflecting both the official ban on the
use of DDT in the former Soviet Union and the greater popularity of HCH as a
pesticide. In general, it appears that Russian rivers play a significant role in
OCP contamination of some estuaries of regional seas, especially those of the
eastern Arctic basin, such as the Kara Sea. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All

Abstract: The introduction of noise into the marine environment may have
significant impacts on marine species and ecosystems. This article examines
how the existing international legal framework can be used to address this issue. After providing some background information on sound in the marine environment, the relevant global and regional instruments dealing with the protection of the marine environment, marine pollution, and the conservation of
marine species and ecosystems are discussed. The analysis suggests that international law already requires states to address various aspects of this issue. A number of instruments and institutions provide an adequate framework
to prescribe rules and standards regarding most sources of acoustic pollution

Abstract: Species of the marine nematode genus Pontonema have been
found to dominate the macrobenthos under abnormally high conditions of particulate organic enrichment. Populations from organically enriched habitats in
six localities(Kiel fjord, Germany; the Garroch Head sewage-sludge dump
ground in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland; Cornelian Bay, N.E. England; the Tyne
estuary, N.E. England; Sete, N.W. Mediterranean, France; Blanes Bay, N.W.
Mediterranean, Spain) have been compared. Multivariate analyses of 16
morphometric characters in males, and 13 in females, shows that each population is significantly different morphologically from every other population.
However, there is morphological overlap between the populations, and it is
considered pragmatic to recognize three species in this group, based on a few
stable morphological characters: P. vulgare (Bastian, 1865) from the Baltic, P.
alaeospicula Bett and Moore 1988 from the UK sites, and P. mediterranea sp.
nov. from the Mediterranean. P. mediterranea sp. nov. is described. The species were not found to have established sympatry in this study, unlike many
other opportunistic taxa from organically enriched habitats, and the significance of this is discussed

Abstract: The fate of drilling waste discharged in a receiving water body has
been modeled considering various processes and using different concepts
and approaches since the past three decades. However, the present literature
survey revealed that no fully validated drilling waste discharge model exists
that elaborately describes all principles and processes in an appropriate mathematical framework. The transport of drilling waste in the marine environment, a complex process, is still only partially understood. Review of available
modeling works suggests that integration of the existing concepts and approaches can develop a more reliable prediction model. The salient features
of such a model are summarized in this review. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract: The increasing numbers and types of potential pollutants in the
world oceans calls for novel strategies for their assays. The 'Mussel Watch'
well served the latter decades of the 20th century. For the immediate future,
individual assays of the chemicals of concern should be replaced by the analyses of groups of pollutants which have a common impact upon marine organisms. Secondly, more attention should be focussed upon the benthos where
many potential pollutants continue to accumulate. Impacts upon members of
the marine biosphere may be recognized by population changes of individual
species. Lastly, time frame monitoring studies should be initiated, so that longterm trends in the health of a system can be detected. (C) 2000 Elsevier

Abstract: Within the frame of the 2nd Iberian Congress of Environmental
Contamination and Toxicology (University of the Basque Country, Leioa, June
1998) a workshop was held about the use of biomarkers in marine pollution
monitoring. Among others, the following biomarkers received special attention:
metallothionein induction, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, cytochrome P450
system induction, imposer, lysosomal enlargement and lysosomal membrane
destabilisation, and peroxisome proliferation. These biomarkers can be used
to evaluate exposure to and effect of different contaminants (metals, organic
xenobiotics and organometallic compounds) and they can be measured using
different methodological approaches (biochemistry, cytochemistry, immunochemical methods based on the use of biotechnology). Before the application
of a set of biomarkers in pollution monitoring programmes, well-defined protocols of Quality Assurance have to be established to allow adequate comparison of results. It is also necessary to include analysis of standard reference
materials and to obtain detailed knowledge of basal values and seasonal variations of the biomarkers in various species, as well as to integrate the information obtained with the different biomarkers, Marine bivalve molluscs such
as mussels are appropriate sentinel species for most of the biomarkers proposed except for the induction of the cytochrome P450 system, which should
be measured in fish, and the degree of imposer, which is a biomarker of exposure to TBT specifically measured in certain gastropod molluscs. As a result
of the workshop, a battery of biomarkers of contaminant exposure and effects
are proposed that could be incorporated into programmes monitoring the quality of the coastal environment in the Iberian Peninsula. These measures
would be undertaken in conjunction with chemical measures of contaminant
burdens in selected sentinel species. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights

Structured interviews with regulators and industrial operators reveal
similarities between their respective attitudes. Scientific, technical and economic information is used in the negotiation which forms a key part of the regulation process and in some areas an imbalance between the regulators and
the operators has been found. The established system of Environmental Quality Standards and authorised release limits is viewed by the regulators and
operators as effectively safeguarding the environment and making it manageable. It is, however, criticised by environmental groups for being bureaucratic, poorly enforced and for not taking into account the possible biological effects of a growing number of industrial chemicals. Attitudes towards compliance with environmental regulations suggest that industrial operators and
regulators view limits as being flexible. There is a general consensus that
more environmental monitoring is required. Despite the organisational
changes that have taken place in the regulatory bodies, there is a perceived
lack of functional integration. This paper calls for a reappraisal of the current
system which is unlikely to be able to manage the growing number of
chemicals found to cause biological effects. A fresh approach and new skills
are required by the regulators if the ambitious targets, agreed at the 1998
Ministerial Meeting of the Oslo and Paris Commission, are to be achieved. (C)

Abstract: The development of cytogenetic methods applied to cells and tissues of marine invertebrates has been hampered by (1) a lack of in vitro cell
lines, (2) inadequate karyotypic information (partly as a result of too few workers chasing too many organisms), and (3) the failure of their chromosomes to
band satisfactorily. Compared to mammalian cytogenetics, our knowledge of
marine invertebrates lags behind by several decades. With the current concern about mutagens in the marine environment, and the recognition that the
- 143 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
cells of marine species have sensitivities to DNA-damaging agents similar to
those of higher organisms, there is a need for methods which can be used (a)
in environmental monitoring and (b) to screen potentially harmful substances
in the laboratory. In the absence of in vitro cell lines, embryos and larvae have
been used to provide a supply of dividing cells for mutation studies, although
the advent of molecular methods has now brought with it the means to detect
DNA damage without any need for the cells to be in a dividing state. Moreover, the use of FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation) now makes it possible to study numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations with far greater
accuracy than was previously possible. A new marine genotoxicity assay is
described, based on the embryos and larvae of a tube-dwelling polychaete
worm (Pomatoceros lamarkii), suitable for both laboratory studies and field
monitoring. This new Pomatoceros assay provides, at the same time, a useful
model for studying the consequences of adult exposure on the offspring. A
novel application of marine cytogenetic research is the study of the evolutionary adaptations of invertebrates living in naturally polluted extreme environments viz. deep sea hydrothermal vents, which are typified by high levels of
toxic heavy metals and radionuclides, substances known to inflict damage to
DNA. Given these new methodological and conceptual advances, it is predicted that our understanding of the role played by mutation in the marine environment, both in an evolutionary and toxicological context, will increase dramatically over the next decade

Abstract: Shorthorn sculpins (Myoxocephalus scorpius) were caught in four
Icelandic harbours, differing in size, use and traffic. Biochemical responses in
liver were measured and chemicals analysed in bile. Eyrarbakki harbour,
which has not been in use for many years was chosen as a control site. Njarovik harbour is a small fishing harbour and a marina, Sandgeroi harbour is a
large fishing harbour, and Reykjavik harbour is a large fishing harbour and an
international transport harbour. Higher levels of DNA-adducts and cytochrome
P4501A (CYP1A) in the fish from the harbours in Sandgeroi, Njarovik and
Reykjavik, compared to Eyrarbakki harbour, indicate PAH exposure. This was
confirmed by PAH analysis in bile. The higher activities of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) in fish caught in Sandgeroi; than in fish caught in the other harbours.
indicate exposure of sculpin to prooxidative compounds in Sandgeroi harbour.
Shorthorn sculpin seems to be a convenient species for monitoring pollution in
northern coastal areas. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

Abstract: Accidental spills resulting in severe pollution can occur during
transportation or handling of large volumes of chemicals. To address this problem, chemicals are classified according to the level of hazard to man and the
environment in order to then define graduated technical standards. Three regulatory examples (enforced or drafted for transport and industrial installations
in Europe) covering aspects of limnic as well as sea water are discussed in
regard to health aspects of pollution. Whereas for the safety of seagoing
tankships an exposure orientated combination of health and environmental
aspects is used, for industrial plants in Germany a scoring system based on
the European Union's Risk Phrase system is applied. The health-related parameters primarily used for hazard classification are repeated dose toxicity
and acute oral and dermal toxcity. Acute oral toxicity is most widely used because of the ready availability of data. Carcinogenicity is treated as the most
important hazard. The report discusses the importance of dermal exposure,
aspiration, and endocrine disruption as parameters as well as the importance
of health criteria for the protection of aquatic organisms. (C) 2000 Academic

Abstract: The occurrence of green mussel Mytilus viridis was recorded for the
first time in the Gujarat coast. The assessment of mussel density, growth and
biomagnification of heavy metals from its natural beds were performed from
September 1998 to June 1999, The mussel density was maximum both in
number and biomass at low tide level and minimum at high tide level. The
specific growth rate of mussel was 13.25 (length), 31.16 (total weight) and
3.38% per month (meat weight) during the study period, Data regarding accumulation of heavy metals reflected that the metal load was increased with
increasing mussel size and the peak values were observed at an average size
of 6.21 mm. The mean concentration of Cu, Fe, Ph, Cd, Zn, Co, Mn and Hg
were 3.91, 9.40, 20.10, 1.53, 37.34, 67.35, 1.01 mu g g(-1) dry wt and nondetectable, respectively. Since the mussel showed considerable biomagnification of heavy metals, it can be used for marine pollution monitoring

Abstract: In this paper economic losses from recent marine pollution events
associated with recreational activities to New Jersey are examined. In addition, assessment of economic losses from long-term contamination of fish
from the New York Eight to New Jersey are presented. During the 1987 and
1988 summer season, marine pollution and debris wash-ups occurred almost
simultaneously in New York and New Jersey that resulted in beach closures,
decreases in beach use and decreased sportfishing behaviour. Aggregate
economic losses of the 1988 pollution and washup events to New Jersey were
conservatively estimated to range from $379.1 million to $1597.8 million
(1987$), In addition, the Hudson River Estuary and New York Eight have been
- 146 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
exposed to long-term contamination by toxic substances (PCB, DDT, etc.)
which have been detected in finfish from these waters. Effects from eating
contaminated fish can result in sizeable economic losses and can provide justification for public policy regarding toxicants in seafood and in the marine environment. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Knowledge of long-term movements of water-masses in the English
Channel has been substantially improved using hydrodynamic modelling coupled with radio-tracers studies; nevertheless, the precision of results so obtained is still largely dependent on measurement precision. New tools are now
available to make more accurate determinations of radio-tracer distribution:
(1) Repositioning of station locations at the same tide reference-time, giving a
homogeneous spatial data set, coupled with the possibility of interpolating and
quantifying the amounts of dissolved radioactivity flowing through the English
Channel; (2) the first measurements of tritium (H-3) in seawater on a large
scale in the English Channel demonstrate that this fully conservative radionuclide is a clearly identifiable marker of industrial releases; (3) recent campaigns carried out during the FLUXMANCHE II CCE (1994) programme show
the general distribution of dissolved radionuclides Cs-137, Cs-134, Co-60, Sb125, Ru-106 and H-3 in the English Channel and the Irish Sea; and (4) the reutilisation of data from previous campaigns (1983, 1986, 1988) provides indications, at any given location in the English Channel, about the average dilution and distribution of releases derived from the La Hague reprocessing
plant. Excesses and losses of radionuclides are now quantified with respect to
known source terms; estimates of losses are provided for non-conservative
radionuclides, while an excess of Cs-137 was observed in the English Channel during the period 1983-1994. This excess, which has the same order of
magnitude as the quantities released from La Hague plant in the English
Channel, could be explained by about 1% of the Sellafield reprocessing plant
releases entering the Channel. These results confirm and give a more detailed picture of the previously known distribution of water masses in the English
Channel. They lead to clear information about transit times and dilution at this
scale, and provide directly comparable data for the validation of hydrodynamic
models. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The content of 34 elements was determined in tissue samples of
several marine bivalve species collected from various sites in the Jiaozhou
Bay. The scope of the study was to determine the most suitable bivalve species to be used for environmental biomonitoring and to evaluate the environmental status of the bay. Clams exhibited higher elemental contents than oysters and they are the major marine bivalve species in the Jiaozhou Bay; therefore, we consider clams to be more suitable than oysters as bioindicators for
evaluating the environmental status of the area. Increased elemental levels in
clam tissues indicate polluted sites. Also, increased elemental levels in mussels point to possible pollution from tourism development at one selected site

Abstract: The extent of marine pollution and sea beach contamination due to
occasional untreated wastewater discharges through emergency outfall of different pumping stations was investigated. Pumping station A 3 has been selected for investigation in the present study. Fecal coliform and Fecal Streptococci as indicators and Salmonella the pathogenic bacteria were examined in
the water and sand samples collected from Benid Al-Qar Sea beach. Water
samples and sand samples were collected for a span of 8 months. Sampling
of sand was done at distances of 5 m and 10 m on both left and right sides
away from the opening of emergency outfall. Shell samples were also collected to ascertain the presence of any contaminant. The analytical data showed
that occasional discharge of wastewater resulted in the accumulation of 710
colonies for F. coliform, 20 colonies for F. Streptococci and 125-colonies/100
ml for Salmonella in sand samples collected from 5 m distance on the left side
of an emergency outfall. On moving to 10 m distance the intensity of accumulation was reduced about 50% i.e. 360 colonies, 10 colonies and 75 colonies/100 ml for F. coliform, F. Streptococci and Salmonella respectively. The
intensity of accumulation was further reduced in the sand samples collected
from the right side of the emergency outfall opening. Gradually all these accumulated types of bacterial cells showed inactivation due to solar radiation
exposure and other oceanographic factors. Within a month no growth of any
indicator or pathogenic microbe was noticed in the sand samples. Again the F,
coliform bacteria started appearing in the sand samples collected during 7
months of the project due to discharge of untreated wastewater under the
emergency situation, i.e, renovation of sewage networks. Again the same
trend of inactivation of bacterial cells was noticed. Thus Kuwait Sea beaches
are not threatened of marine pollution due to occasional discharge of wastewater. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd on behalf of the IAWQ. All

Abstract: A brief presentation is made of the concept of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) adopted by the United Nations Conference on the Law of
the Sea, and included as a major feature of the Law of the Sea. The potential
of the EEZ for the small developing island countries is discussed, together
with the possibility of using the EEZ to achieve a larger measure of equity
among nations than the prevailing one. The role of the EEZ in obtaining improved ocean governance, more sustainable management of the marine resources and control of marine pollution is considered. The need for building
an indigenous capacity to deal with the marine resources and issues is identified and the possibility of achieving this through regional cooperation. The
possibilities inherent in the EEZ regime for oceanic islands are discussed, with
focus on the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean and the central Atlantic Ocean.

Abstract: Recent advances in pollution control and monitoring technologies,
improved analytical capability, changes in government priorities and results of
scientific studies have substantially changed our views and perceptions towards marine pollution in the last two decades. Globally, the problems caused
by eutrophication, water borne pathogens and xenobiotic compounds are likely to be exacerbated and pose significant ecological and/or public health risks
in the coming years, especially in developing countries. The large amount of
- 150 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
anthropogenic input of nutrients has caused major changes in the structure
and function of phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic and fish communities
over large areas, and such a trend is likely to continue in many coastal waters.
Escalated public health risks associated with the increases in frequency and
severity of toxic algal blooms are also of growing concern. Reduction of nutrient input through changes in land-use and farming practises, and the development of cost-effective methods for nutrient removal are required. Water
borne pathogens affect large numbers of people through consumption of contaminated seafood and direct contact with contaminated water, and such problems are much more serious in developing countries. Current techniques in
monitoring bacterial indicators in water and shellfish have clear limitations and
cannot afford adequate protection to safeguard public health. Emerging molecular techniques, such as multiplex PCR and specific gene probes, are likely
to provide new and cost effective tools for monitoring water borne pathogens
in the coming years. Nowadays, xenobiotic compounds can be found almost
everywhere in any marine ecosystems. Although these compounds normally
occur at very low concentrations and their effects are not well understood, there is growing concern about the chronic exposure and bioconcentration/biomagnification of xenobiotic compounds. In particular, endocrine disrupters which may cause reproductive dysfunction and threaten species survival,
are of growing concern. At present, most of our knowledge on toxic effects of
xenobiotic compounds is derived from short-term exposure of a single species
to high (environmentally unrealistic) and uniform concentrations under laboratory conditions. Data so derived are largely inadequate in predicting ecological
effects in the field, in which multi-species are being exposed to varying, low
concentrations under an interacting and complex environment. NOEC and
LOEC for population/community/ecosystem, as well as the time required for
population/community/ecosystems to recover after toxicant insult, are poorly
known. These important topics,will become the major endeavours for ecotoxicologists in the years to come. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Like many countries in the world, China is also facing serious problems of marine pollution in the coastal zone. The prevailing concern is eutrophication of the coastal water due to river inputs and, in some bays, also
due to the over-expansion of aquaculture. As part of the marine pollution research activities in China, applications of mathematical models are also widely
used, both to understand the present and to project the future. In this paper,
selected Chinese works are reviewed, especially with respect to the effort in
reducing the errors introduced in the numerical treatment of the water quality
equation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: A brief analysis of the current situation pertaining to marine pollution prevention and management in the East Asian Seas is outlined,
particularly focusing on pollution arising from both land and sea-based
sources. This paper highlights the results of a Regional Programme supported
by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in addressing some of the key
marine pollution management problems of the region. The Programme has
made significant progress in the following areas: (a) successfully developed
and tested working models on the application of integrated coastal
management (ICM) in addressing land-based sources of pollution; (b) tested
risk assessment and risk management methodologies for addressing pollution
in the Straits of Malacca; (c) attained commendable records in the ratification
of marine pollution-related conventions; (d) developed an operational modality
for stronger public and private sector partnerships; (e) demonstrated the costeffectiveness of marine pollution monitoring programs; (f) focused on capacity
building at the local level, and (g) with the above achievements, it has
illustrated a paradigm shift in concept, approach and methodology in
addressing the mounting environmental pressure caused by increasing
marine pollution loads. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights

monitoring suggest that although relatively good indications of ambient metal
concentrations are determined, actual biological harm is not elucidated. Biomarkers, techniques originally developed in medicine, have recently been
employed in an attempt to ascertain the health of marine mussels, Biomarkers
have been used with good effect in temperate marine pollution monitoring
programmes. The use of biomarkers in the toxicological evaluation of tropical
and subtropical waters is, however, generally lacking, which is somewhat surprising, as considerable industrialisation and environmental degradation is taking place in the Pacific-rim countries of Southeast Asia. In the present study,
a suite of cytological and physiological biomarkers have been measured from
mussels (Perna viridis: Mytilidae) transplanted within the coastal waters of
Hong Kong, Mussels from contaminated sites, had labile lysosomal membranes, whereas animals from a cleaner reference site had more stable membranes. These cytological responses have been related to metal-induced stress
and are simple, cost-effective markers of pollution, Cardiac activity from mussels transplanted to polluted sites was generally similar to that of individuals
from the reference site, although a mild tachycardia was associated with one
site. The cause of the tachycardia and the use of heart rate in mussels as a
biomarker is discussed. Integrated physiological responses to stress, condition indices, revealed mussels from a clean reference site had higher indices
than animals from contaminated sites. The relative sensitivities of the cytological and physiological biomarkers deployed in this study and their application
to pollution monitoring is discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights

Abstract: GESAMP's EHS working group, evaluation of the hazards(2) of
harmful substances carried by ships, contributed in the early 1970s to the
chemical carriage provisions (Annexes II and III) of the MARPOL Convention,
and after formal setup in 1974 under IMCO/IMO, has evaluated the hazards of
approximately 2200 chemical substances transported worldwide by shipping.
Hazard ratings for chemicals based on five criteria: bioaccumulation in marine
organisms and tainting of seafood; damage to marine life defined by aquatic
toxicity thresholds; acute hazard to human health, defined by oral intake;
hazard to human health on the basis of skin or eye contact; and reduction of
amenities, have been assigned by the working group experts (30 scientists
from 11 countries overall). The ratings are used by IMO committees to assign
marine pollution categories under MARPOL 73/78, ensuring that shipping of
chemicals in bulk or as packaged goods is conducted with due consideration
for ship type, guidelines for discharges from tank cleaning and deballasting
operations, packaging and labeling and response during accidents or loss.
Since 1995, the working group has reviewed and revised its hazard criteria,
and largely harmonized them with OECD. This will ensure compatibility of criteria and approaches across transport sectors. The criteria now include two
measures of bioaccumulation, biodegradation, chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms, additional human health endpoints, and effects on marine wildlife
and benthic habitats. The working group maintains a composite list of evaluations of hazards of harmful substances at IMO, London. (C) 1999 Elsevier

Abstract: More than 660 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired
over the southern Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and the Gulf of Lion in the Mediterranean Sea by the Second European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS-2)
have been analyzed since December 1996 with respect to radar signatures of
marine pollution and other phenomena causing similar signatures. First results
- 154 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
of our analysis reveal that the seas are most polluted along the main shipping
routes. The sizes of the detected oil spills vary between < 0.1 km(2) and > 56
km(2). SAR images acquired during descending (morning) and ascending
(evening) satellite passes show different percentages of oil pollution, because
most of this pollution occurs during night time and is still visible on the SAR
images acquired in the morning time. Moreover, we found a higher amount of
oil spills on SAR images acquired during summer (April-September) than on
SAR images acquired during winter (October-March). We attribute this finding
to the higher mean wind speed encountered in all three test areas during winter. By using an ERS-2 SAR image of the North Sea test area we show how
the reduction of the normalized radar backscattering cross section (NRCS) by
an oil spill depends on wind speed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights

June 1996 to August 1998 along the coast of Ghana which is being washed
by the gulf of Guinea (part of the Atlantic ocean). An analysis was made of the
levels of fourteen chemical elements namely: Al, As, Au, Ca, Cd, Fe, K, Mg,
Mn, Na, Ni, Hg, V and Zn by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).
Apart from As, Au, Cd, Fe, and Hg the elements were measured in all the
seaweed species studied. Al, Ca,K, Mg, and Na generally showed the highest
concentrations in most of the species analysed while the Hg content was low.
The results showed high variability in and between species, among sampling
sites and times of collection. The high values of metal concentration in the
macroalgae suggest that these marine organisms can be used as biological
indicators for studying marine pollution

Abstract: Since the early 60's, the IAEA implements a Quality Assurance
(QA) programme for the Member States. As part of this programme, the IAEA
organized more than 150 analytical intercomparison exercises and produced
more than 70 Certified Reference Materials for a wide range of determinands,
encompassing radionuclides, trace elements, petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides and PCBs. From the IAEA - Marine Environment Laboratory in Monaco,
analytical Quality Assurance services are provided for non-nuclear contaminants in marine materials. Results of recently organized worldwide intercomparison exercises using the sample materials IAEA-142 (mussel tissue homogenate) and IAEA-140 (seaweed homogenate), show that some progress was
achieved worldwide in the analyses of the more common environmental contaminants. However, results also Show that difficulties in obtaining accurate
data for trace elements and especially for organic contaminants are still widespread, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, the success of international cooperative programmes as well as of many regional environmental monitoring progammes, depends on improved quality and comparability of
data which has to be achieved still through reinforced Quality Assurance programmes. To this aim, the IAEA/UNEP/IOC-UNESCO inter-agency programme on marine pollution promotes the adoption of Reference Methods for harmonization of techniques used in developing and developed countries, organizes frequent intercomparison exercises, and produces certified marine Reference Materials which are made available to laboratories worldwide

Abstract: Geochemical correlation and differentiation of hydrocarbons from
crude oils and coals is difficult. The complex mixture of the hydrocarbon constituents and the dynamic nature of these constituents in the environment as
they weather contribute to this difficulty. A new parameter, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) refractory index, is defined here to help in this correlation. The PAH refractory index is a ratio of two Of the most refractory constituents of most crude oils, namely triaromatic steranes and monomethylchrysenes. These are among the most persistent compounds in oil after deposition in the environment and thus: retain reliably the signature of the original
petroleum input. This index is utilized in Prince William Sound (PWS) to differentiate three different oils, as well as to provide evidence that coal, not oil, is
the dominant source of the PAHs which are prominent constituents of marine
sediments from PWS and the Gulf of Alaska. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract: The negotiations carried out during the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea have witnessed the emergence of a new concept, that of port state jurisdiction. According to the relevant provisions incorporated in the text of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea (LOS Convention), the port state is granted several innovative powers in
case of marine pollution caused by vessels. The purpose of this article is to
trace the evolution of the concept of port state jurisdiction in light of the relevant provisions of the LOS Convention, which entered into force on November
16, 1994. It also examines the development of the Memoranda of Understanding on Port State Control, which are cooperative regional arrangements
having the effect of leading states parties towards consistency with international rules and standards as set forth in several international agreements dealing with, inter alia, marine pollution

Abstract: Following a series of international conferences on pollution of the
North Sea, the UK Government committed itself in 1990 to reducing the inputs
of certain dangerous substances reaching the aqueous environment from
point and diffuse sources. The target was a 50% reduction in loadings over
the period 1985-95. Metals loadings from rivers and sewage works to the Clyde Sea Area are presented for the period 1990-97. These are compared to
trace metals body burdens in mussels collected from shores throughout the
Clyde Sea Area over the period 1980-97. For most metals, no clear trend either increasing or decreasing was observed in metals loadings from point
sources or in mussel body burdens. The exceptions were cadmium, which
showed downward trends with time in loadings and in concentrations in Clyde
Estuary mussels, and lead, which showed a downward trend in mussel concentrations. Metals loadings from point sources may have reached baseline
levels, below which further reductions will be difficult to achieve. Elevated
mussel body burdens of specific metals provided good evidence that some
shores are severely affected by point source inputs, others by bulk contamination from far-field point sources, and others by diffuse sources of metals. (C)

- 158 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
ches of a small island impacted by heavy tar loads were determined by gas
chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, The tar ball
samples, as collected, were at low stages of biodegradation and had diverse
physical appearance. The majority of the samples (as many as 7 of the 10)
appeared to be heavy fuel oils - possibly Bunker C, The GC traces for the other three tar balls, however, indicated that they were crude oils probably from
tanker ballast washings or other nonpoint sources like the oil entering from the
adjacent North Mediterranean, The biomarkers of the sterane and hopane series in these samples, however, had remained unaffected by weathering, and
their distributions revealed significant differences among the samples suggesting multiple sources of the tar balls. The tar ball samples could be genetically
subdivided into four groups on the basis of their biomarker fingerprints, A marine carbonate or evaporite, hypersaline, anoxic depositional environment of
the petroleum source rock for Type I residues could be inferred from the evencarbon-number predominance of n-alkanes, the high relative abundance of
gammacerane and the predominance of C-35 relative to C-34 17 alpha(H)homohopanes. Higher plant contribution and a deltaic environment of source
rock deposition could be concluded for Type II residues from the high concentrations of oleanane and diasteranes. On the other hand, Type III residues
possessed geochemical characteristics consistent with a normal marine carbonate or evaporite source depositional environment under normal saline, reducing conditions, Finally, type IV residues had biomarker signatures intermediate between Types II and III, (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract: This paper explores the limits to which a new graphical technique
based on log-log plots of selected elemental ratios can distinguish the various
hierarchical levels of sources of trace elements within biomonitors. When applied to a large suite of samples from Portuguese lichens that had been analyzed by neutron activation and proton-induced X-ray emission, the technique
appears to be able to resolve four levels of sources, including plant material,
local soils, the three major components of atmospheric deposition (crustal,
marine, pollution), and individual types of pollution such as oil and possibly incineration and nonferrous smelters. Careful factor analysis with the new Positive Matrix Factorization produces seven or eight defensible factors, including
lichens, marine, oil, industry, coal, and two to three crustal factors (lighter
elements, heavier elements, and resistate elements). Proportions of key elements in these factors fell within 30-50% of proportions determined graphically
and sometimes were indistinguishable from them. Thus, it now seems possible to determine sources for elements in lichens with considerably more detail,
precision, and reliability than were available previously. (C) 1999 Elsevier

Abstract: Marine pollution does not recognise maritime boundaries. Consequently, protection of the marine environment from pollution must involve an
international cooperative effort, with near neighbours, in particular, working
together to protect coastal and ocean areas close to their political boundaries.
This paper describes a regional approach adopted from 1988 to 1994 in the
South Pacific Region to address marine pollution problems. Some 25 countries and territories lie within the region. Apart from Australia, New Zealand
and Papua New Guinea, the countries of the region consist basically of a large number of small islands separated by substantial stretches of ocean. Growing populations and demands for better living standards are exerting increasing pressures on coastal and marine resources, leading in some cases to
significant marine pollution. The Region has limited financial and technical resources to address such problems and countries have therefore determined to
assess and control them through a concerted regional approach. This paper
reviews aspects of this effort, outlining the methods adopted, describing the
outcomes and discussing the problems and lessons learned. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Studies from South Pacific Islands, some of which are uninhabited,
as well as eastern Australia and New Zealand, show that discarded plastics
are a significant pollutant of shorelines and adjacent coastal and oceanic waters. Environmental impacts include: death and/or debilitation of wildlife
through entanglement and ingestion, reductions in quality of life and reproductive performance, hazards to shipping and possibly health, and a vector for
the introduction of alien taxa that may endanger island ecosystems or traditio-
- 160 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
nal seafood resources. This material is also aesthetically distasteful. Blame for
this pollution has been placed largely on indiscriminate disposal of plastic by
vessels at sea. However, there is a growing appreciation that much shoreline
litter has urban sources reflecting inadequate disposal practices as well as recreational visitors. Increasing population pressures and shipping activities
around the region will lead to ever-growing quantities of unsightly plastic litter
on shorelines of the region and experience elsewhere suggests this could be
to the detriment of tourism. The problems need to be addressed through the
Convention for the Protection of the Natural Resources and Environment of
the South Pacific Region with common regional management policies developed similar to those now in place for the Caribbean. These should focus on
waste disposal practices and identification of sites suitable for land-fill operations as well as development of port reception facilities. Alleviation of the problems may also come from Annex V of MARPOL and the London Dumping
Convention, but ultimately the solutions will have to be regional in character
and involve education sensitive to local cultures. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science

Abstract: More than 70% of the earth surface is covered by water bodies.
Marine pollution is associated with the discharge of oils, petroleum products,
sewage agricultural wastes, pesticides, heavy metals, waste substances and
dumping of radioactive waters in sea. This in turn results in hazards to human
health, hindrance to aquatic organisms and impairment of quality for use of
sea water. Sea water is reported to contain iodine but the concentration varies
according to the location and depth. Here a simple and sensitive method is
described for the determination of iodine using leucocrystal violet as a reagent
in different samples of sea water. The method is based on the oxidation of iodine to iodate with bromine water and the liberation of free iodine from the iodate by addition of potassium iodide in acedic medium. This iodine selectively
oxidises leucocrystal violet to form the crystal violet dye. Beer's law is obeyed
over the concentration range of 0.04-0.36 ppm of iodine at lambda(max) 592
nm. The dye was further extracted in chloroform. The extracting system obeys
Beer's law in the range of 0.008-0.08 ppm at lambda(max) 588 nm. (C) 1999

Abstract: As a trial for the complete establishment of mussel watch program,
it was shown that the ciliary stroke of Mytilus edulis can be used as an indicator of its bioaccumulation of pollutants from sea water when it was measured
by use of a high function OES endoscope. This is reasonable because the ciliary strokes result in the intake of phytoplankton by raising the constant water
current along the cilia from an inhalant siphon transported to the mouth. The
ciliary strokes showed an evident diel fluctuation with the maximal activity during the night. The contribution of mucus excretion was evident for efficient filter-feeding. The ciliary stroke and the mucus excretion were activated almost
simultaneously showing similar diel fluctuation while filter-feeding. The maximal ciliary stroke was observed at 20 degrees C in salt solution from 30 to 40
parts per thousand salinities. The stroke follows the Arrhenius equation in the
temperature range from 5 to 30 degrees C with a break at around 20 degrees
C when the experiment was performed with salt solution between 10 to 33
parts per thousand salinities

Abstract: A geostatistical analysis was made on the areal distribution pattern
of extracted heavy metals in surface sediments of the Skagerrak and Kattegat. Normalisation was done on heavy metal concentrations with respect to
content of organic carbon at 112 stations. Kriging has been applied to determine the spatial distribution pattern of contaminated suspension load. The statistical treatment of the data included variogram analysis and cross-validation
in order to reveal the spatial variability over the study area. The variograms
clearly indicate spatial dependency and it is demonstrated that the statistical
range of correlation is comparatively large. This implies that even with a widespaced sampling grid, a geostatistical approach is applicable in the marine
environment. Results presented in the form of gridded maps, in association
with kriging standard deviations, describe the spreading effects over a comparatively large marine area. A geostatistical approach using kriging shows to be
an effective tool for extracting spatial patterns needed when analysing marine
pollution patterns in the Kattegat and Skagerrak

the trace elements Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, V, Zn and Zr to ascertain the geoecological impact of dumping of phosphorite tail ingsinto the sea. Trace element concentrations ranged from 2-44 ppm for Cd, 22-184 ppm for Cu, 19281 ppm for Ni, 22-176 ppm for Pb, 179-643 ppm for Sr, 38-329 ppm for V,
60-632 ppm for Id 18-8928 ppm for Zr. Regional distribution Ice elements in
the marine environment indithat the concentrations of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, V, Sr
and Zn increase seawards and along the coastal,utwards of the tailing outfall,
whereas Cd and Zr showed reversed spatial patterns. Sorting and transport of
phosphorite particles by coastal currents are the main factors controlling the
distribution of particle-bound trace metals in the coastal environment. The Cd,
Sr and Zn concentrations decrease with decreasing grain size in marine coas-

laboratory using raw phosphate material and artificial sea water. Enhanced
mobilization of Cd from phosphorites by contact with the sea water was observed

Abstract: We developed a model to estimate the number of bird carcasses
that were likely deposited on the beaches of St. Paul Island, Alaska following
the M/V Citrus oil spill in February 1996. Most of the islands beaches were
searched on an irregular schedule, resulting in the recovery of 876 King Elder
carcasses. A sub-sample of beaches were intensively studied to estimate daily persistence rate and detection probability [Fowler, A.C., Flint, P.L., 1997.
Marine Pollution Bulletin]. Using these data, our model predicted that an additional 733 +/- 70 King Elder carcasses were not detected during our searches.
Therefore, we estimate that at least 1609 +/- 70 King Elder carcasses occurred on beaches as a result of the spill. We lacked sufficient sample size to
model losses for other species, thus we applied the estimated recovery rate
for King Elders (54%) to other species and estimate a total combined loss of
1765 birds. In addition, 165 birds were captured alive making the total estimated number of birds impacted by the M/V Citrus spill 1930. Given that oiled
birds occurred in places on the island which could not be systematically searched combined with the fact that it was unlikely that oiled birds that died at
sea would have been recovered during our searches [Flint, P.L., Fowler, A.C.,
1998. Marine Pollution Bulletin], our estimate of total mortality associated with
the spill should be considered a minimum. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All

Abstract: Potentially harmful substances-e.g. pesticides, heavy metals and
hydrocarbons-are often released into the aquatic environment. When large
quantities of pollutants are released there ma!: be an immediate impact as
measured by large-scale sudden mortalities of aquatic organisms, e.g. fish
kills resulting from contamination of waterways with agricultural pesticides.
Lower levels of discharge may result in an accumulation of the pollutants in
aquatic organisms. The end results, which may occur long after the pollutants
have passed through the environment, include immunosuppression, reduced
metabolism, and damage to gills and epithelia. However, the link between adverse water quality and fish diseases is not proven. Alleged pollution-related
diseases include epidermal papilloma, fin/tail rot, gill disease, hyperplasia, liver damage, neoplasia and ulceration. Many surveys have indicated a greater
proportion of diseased fish in polluted compared to non-polluted marine sites.
Yet, the value of such surveys may be questioned. Specific examples of fish
diseases thought to reflect the effects of pollution include surface lesions attributed to Serratia plymuthica, fin and tail rot caused by. Aeromonas hydrophila
and Pseudomonas fluorescens, gill disease resulting from the activity of Flavobacterium spp., vibriosis as caused by Vibrio anguillarum, and enteric redmouth (causal agent, Yersinia ruckeri). Research indicated that some of the
diseases caused by Aeromonas, Flavobacterium and Pseudomonas resulted
fi om generally adverse water quality, i.e. higher than usual quantities of organic material, oxygen depletion, changes in pH values and enhanced microbial
populations. Some infections with Serratia and Yersina may well have reflected contamination of waterways with domestic sewage, e.g. leaking septic
tanks. At least one outbreak of vibriosis mas linked to high concentrations of
copper, which may have debilitated the fish making them more susceptible to
disease

Abstract: Thirty-eight core sediment samples were recently collected from different locations of the Singapore coastal region. The aim of the project was to
trace the history of marine pollution in various coastal regions and to determine the impact of industrial activities. Two nuclear analytical techniques were
employed in this study: particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), Rutherford
backscattering (RBS) as well as X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Combined together these techniques provide an excellent tool to determine elemental concentrations of more than 30 elements with detection limits as low as few ppm. Our
results show that elemental concentrations in most of the regions do not show
a significant variation with depth. However, in regions where industrial and
shipping activities are high, for example the Port of Singapore area and the
northern part of Johore Straits! the concentrations of metals like Cr, Ni, Cu,
Zn, Sn and Pb were found to have an obvious decreasing trend with the
depth. In these cores, concentrations in the top 10-15 cm were sometimes ten
times higher than the corresponding base line concentrations. Elemental
depth profiles of Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sn and Pb and their mean concentrations in
various regions are reported and discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract: This report gives an inside view on discussions held at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization, the United Nations agency
concerned with maritime safety and the prevention of pollution from ships. Marine environmental protection regulations and their historical development are
presented and discussed. The regulative measures that have been taken under the responsibility of this organization during the last decades to reduce
accidental and operational discharge from tankships have achieved success

although the marine environment is still suffering. Those standards which will
come into force will further reduce the risks of accidental pollution. The report
summarizes aspects beyond issues of environmental science which have to
be analysed in order to reduce the impact of tankships on the marine environment. The report ends with the thesis that safer ships and improved occupational conditions on board are prerequisites for cleaner seas

Abstract: Dinoflagellate cyst records were analysed from four sediment cores
from the inner Oslofjord. The cores covered the pre-industrial period, and the
most important period of human population growth associated with industrial
development of the region, from the mid-1800s to the present, including the
reported development of cultural eutrophication. Comparisons between the
cyst records and the known history of eutrophication suggest cyst signals that
should prove useful for tracing the development of eutrophication. The eutrophication signal consisted of a doubling of total cyst concentration, and a
married increase in one species in particular, Lingulodinium machaerophorum
(from <5 to around 50% of the assemblages) with increased eutrophication. In
the core considered most representative of general Rater quality in the inner
fiord, these trends reversed back to pre-industrial levels during the 1980s and
1990s when improved sewage treatment took effect. (C) 1999 Academic Press

Abstract: There are a number of harmful effects that have been induced by
emissions from large vessels carrying bulk liquids. These are reviewed. A
number of hazards are cargo-specific. Of special concern are liquids which after discharge or spillage float on the surface of the sea. Sea birds are regularly Victims of discharged oil, most of which, however, is discharged from machinery spaces from all kinds of ships. Marine mammals have been contaminated or killed after tankship spills. Water soluble discharges may accumulate
in fish and shellfish, thus tainting or contaminating seafood. Spills and discharges of toxic substances create direct hazards to human health. There are
also hazards which are not connected with the cargo. Tankships have large
hulls which are covered with antifouling paint and consequently emit toxic
chemicals. Empty sea-going tankships have to be ballasted with large quantities of water. By discharging the ballast water before loading, foreign material
is introduced into that remote marine environment. Connected with this are
hazards for the marine environment as well as for human hearth

Abstract: In the tarry 1970s the International Maritime Organization turned to
GESAMP - a United Nations expert group - for advice in determining the
hazards posed by chemicals, when released into the sea. The subsequent
methods developed have been used ever since. The hazard evaluation procedure has been revised 1995 - 1998, now including inter alia aspects of
chronic aquatic toxicity and biodegradation. Within this review, the old (existing) and thr new (revised) hazard evaluation processes are explained. Reasons for the revisions and some still unresolved aspects are discussed. Severe evaluation problems exist for non-water soluble chemicals, e.g. oils. Hazard
evaluations including testing procedures which are enforced for the categorization of bulk liquids are explained

Abstract: This paper assesses the performance of 8 integrated coastal management (ICM) projects in Southeast Asia, developed through the
ASEAN/US Coastal Resources Management Project (1986 to 1992) and the
GEF/ UNDP/IMO Regional Programme for the Prevention and Management
of Marine Pollution in the East Asian Seas (1994-ongoing). The assessment is
based on common performance indicators for measuring the level of achievements in the planning and implementation processes (process indicators);
in reducing environmental stress (stress indicators); in ensuring sustainability
of programs (sustainability indicators); and in arresting environmental degradation or improvement of environmental quality (environment status indicators). All 8 ICM programs have successfully completed the requirements for
problem identification and program formulation. However, only the 2 programs
established in Batangas Bay, Philippines, and Xiamen, China, have reached
the implementation stage. The author discusses the lessons learned from 13
years of practicing ICM including the formulation and implementation of the 8
ICM programs in 7 countries in the Southeast Asian region. The discussion
includes ICM concept, project timeframe; performance monitoring; project design; selection and prioritization of management issues; management boundary; research and studies; ICM program development and implementation cycle; local government commitment; institutional arrangements; public awareness, and building local capacity

Abstract: Although most of Antarctica is relatively pristine, high levels of pollutants have been recorded in localised areas such as in the vicinity of scientific bases like McMurdo Station. We have used the Antarctic fish Trematomus
bernacchii as an indicator species to assess the level of impact of these pollutants on the local biota. Fish were collected from Winter Quarters Bay (adjacent to McMurdo Station) and Backdoor Bay (remote from human activities).
Liver samples from individual fish were used in the preparation of total RNA
from which the level of expression of the cytochrome P4501A gene (CYP1A),
- 170 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
known to be responsive to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), was determined by quantitative competitive reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain
reaction (RT-PCR). Samples of bile from the same fish were analysed for fluorescent aromatic compounds (FACs) at naphthalene and phenanthrene wavelengths to provide an indication of exposure to organic compounds such as
the PAHs. The levels of biliary FACs in fish from Winter Quarters Bay were
approximately 2-fold higher than those in fish from Backdoor Bay, whereas
there was an average 37-fold increase in CYP1A expression between fish taken from the two sites. The extent of CYP1A induction correlated positively
with biliary FACs levels, indicating the potential of quantitative competitive RTPCR as a sensitive molecular approach to pollution impact assessment. Fish
from Winter Quarters Bay also had significantly higher hepatosomatic and gonadosomatic indices indicative of altered organ function, although the extent
to which this might be related to pollution is uncertain. (C) 1999 Elsevier

Abstract: During the first cruise of R/V 'Philia' in July 1997 within the framework of the TALOS programme supported by the Greek Ministry of Physical
Planning and Public Works, the sampling of floating tar, litter and sea water
for dissolved/dispersed petroleum hydrocarbons (DDPH) was carried out in
the Cretan Sea. Analysis of these data has allowed a first assessment of the
status of floating marine pollution in the region. DDPH measurements showed
a mean concentration of 0.145 mu g/l of chrysene equivalents (n = 24), Tar
and plastics concentrations were in the range of 1-4280 and 0-1160 mu
g/m(2), respectively. Mean pelagic tar concentration was 318 mu g/m(2), more
than two times higher than what was reported for the area in previous studies.
Based on in situ hydrographic observations there is strong evidence that most

Abstract: This paper examines the progress made in Malaysia in implementing Chapter 17 in Agenda 21 since 1992. The progress is measured against
the programme areas identified in Chapter 17 and the challenges which are
faced by those involved in marine environment management in the country. In
summary these challenges are reduction, prevention and elimination of marine pollution, improving the management of Malaysia's coastal areas, conservation of marine and coastal biological diversity and sustainable management
of marine resources. As it stands there is no overall programme to implement
Chapter 17 in Malaysia, and present activities consist of largely individual initiatives at agency or departmental level. The lack of integration and an overarching policy on marine matters in general, are found to be the main obstacles to marine environment protection. However, efforts are being made to at
least identify and define key concepts such as integrated coastal zone management. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The marine environment of the United Arab Emirates along the
Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman is subjected to increasing quantities of oil
which may cause human health problems (Sindermann, 1978; Dunn and Fee,
1979; Ponat, 1988), In addition to the usual toxic effects on marine life and
shore damage, oil spills threaten the desalination plants that provide the fresh
water supply for the Gulf region. On the evening of 31 March 1994, a quantity
(16000 t) of Iranian crude oil leaked into the Gulf of Oman 9.5 miles outside
the Al-Fujirah port entrance after a collision between the 57 211 dwt tanker
'Baynunah' and the 293 238 dwt supertanker 'Seki', Clean-up operations
which started within 1 h and 40 min of the collision could remove only 2000 t
- 172 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
of oil from the sea, and failed to contain the spill. After 4 days, the Boating oil
hit the shoreline of the United Arab Emirates and contaminated about 20 km
of shoreline, This resulted in the disruption of the fishing industry and a reduction in scuba diving tourism (Marine Pollution Bulletin Report, 1994), Much of
the fauna on the rocky shores was covered by oil. The active shore crab
(Grapsus albolineatus) and the barnacle populations were smothered by the
oil spill (Copper, 1995), Mechanical and flotation techniques were applied
onshore after 4 April 1994, but there is no information on how much oil was
removed by these operations. The main objectives of this paper are to evaluate the concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons and organic carbon contents
at the time of the incident and to assess, in July and November 1994, the recovery of the marine environment after a period of about 8 months. (C) 1998

Abstract: A number of studies on deviant flavors of marine fish and crustaceans lire discussed to show the main causes of such impairments. Cases include fish caught in marine, coastal and freshwater environments or exposed
to industrial effluents and oil spills. Regulations and testing procedures for the
evaluation of chemicals capable of inducing foreign flavor or odor are described. Tainting of seafood caused by industrial chemicals has been observed
after groundings of seagoing tankers. For cases other than those of long-term
or accidentally large volume discharges, "natural" reasons could be established for flavor impairments. There have been no reports of discharges from
tank washings in the open ocean spoiling the flavor of seafood. Reports from
production platforms show chemical contamination, in most cases, however,
not associated with any impairment of fish flavor. In the regulations for marine
transport, the tainting risk seems to have been overestimated. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: In this study, we measured the non-specific zooplanktonic phosphate activity inside and outside Toulon bay. These activities were compared in
relation to substrate and phosphate concentrations, pH and sea water composition. Great differences were observed between the two sites. Phosphatase
activities were higher inside Toulon bay, where high zooplankton density and
high protein concentrations were observed. Concerning enzyme activities, the
intersite differences increased at the lowest substrate concentrations. Moreover, zooplankton alkaline phosphatase activity showed a good adaptation to
the natural medium conditions (pHs and ionic strength) and is likely directly liberated to the water, where it contributes to an enrichment in mineral phosphorus from organic material

Abstract: The Baltic Sea is almost totally surrounded by land and therefore
more endangered by pollution than other marine areas. The sources of marine
pollution are municipal and industrial waste inputs directly into the sea or via
rivers, and atmospheric inputs mainly from traffic and agriculture. The increase of inorganic plant nutrients (NH3, NOx, PO4) caused eutrophication and
consequent oxygen depletion in coastal bottom waters as well as in the
depths of the open sea. In the anoxic sediments, hydrogen sulfide can be
produced by protein-decomposing and sulfate-reducing bacteria. The bottom
fauna will be destroyed and only H2S tolerant microorganisms can survive.
Originating from cellulose manufacturing and from paper mills, large amounts
of poisonous chlorinated compounds contaminated the coastal waters of
Sweden and Finland until the 1980s. Most of this material is still present in
sediments of the central Baltic Sea and can be resuspended by near bottom
currents. To reduce pollution and improve the situation in the Baltic Sea, the
surrounding countries organized the Helsinki Convention, which came into
force on 3.5.1980. The Helsinki Commission (HELCOM) founded in 1974 acts
as coordinator and is responsible for the enforcement of the Baltic monitoring
program and international research projects. The activities of HELCOM have
led to the reduction of dangerous pollutants which in turn has caused the regeneration of flora and fauna in some areas. Further improvements can be
expected

Abstract: Sediment quality values need to be developed to help protect public
health and the environment. Data derived from sediment chemistry, sediment
toxicity tests and macrobenthic infaunal community structure from two separate integrative studies (sediment quality triad) conducted in the Gulf of Cadiz
and in San Francisco Bay were analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques
(principal component analysis [PCA] and factor analysis) to identify the concentration ranges of the chemicals associated with adverse effects. Application of PCA-factor analysis to the data matrix for the Gulf of Cadiz showed that
the three data types could be represented by five principal factors, whereas
for San Francisco Bay, there were four principal factors. These factors, as well
as chemical concentrations and biological effects, were used to establish sitespecific sediment quality values for each area studied. Positive prevalence of
these factors in the cases studied (seven stations in the Gulf of Cadiz and nine in San Francisco Bay) was used to establish the ranges of chemical concentrations associated with adverse effects. The values proposed for the Gulf
of Cadiz, in terms of concentrations at or below which biological effects have
been shown to be minimal, are (in mg kg-1 of dry sediment): chromium, 101.2;
lead, 66.8; linear alkylbenzenesulphonate, 12.8; silver, 1.2; and mercury, 0.46.

Abstract: Live foraminiferal assemblages were studied along the Mediterranean coast of northern Israel. Two hundred seventeen benthic foraminiferal
species were identified, 30% of which (65 species from 20 calcareous families
and one agglutinated family) exhibited 11 distinct types of morphological deformities of their tests. These include: wrong coiling, aberrant chamber shape
and size, poor development of the last whorl, twisted chamber arrangement,
additional chambers, protuberances, multiple apertures, irregular keel, twinning, lateral asymmetry, and lack of sculpture. Morphological deformities are
independent of latitude, taxonomic position, mode of life and feeding strategy
of foraminifera. In small numbers (up to 1% of total live population) they can
occur within the range of natural variability of a given species in given environmental conditions. However, several species display an increase in the
proportion of deformed foraminifera in live assemblages that can be caused
by low salinity (e,g,, for Adelosina cliarensis) or by an increase in concentrations of heavy metals within the sediment. For example, an increase in deformed Amphistegina lobifera indicates an increase in Cd, Cibicides advenum Cr, Pseudotriloculina subgranulata - Ti concentrations in sediments. The highest concentrations of Cd are attributed to coarse carbonate substrates adjacent to hard grounds, while Cr and Ti have a strong affinity to muddy-clay
substrates enriched with organic matter. Test deformities of benthic foraminifera appear to be sensitive in situ monitors of marine pollution by heavy metals. However, the biochemical and crystallographic mechanisms controlling
the development of test deformities remain to be studied by culture experiments under controlled conditions

Abstract: The GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme on Marine Pollution
Prevention and Management in the East Asian Seas (MPP-EAS) conducts
annually a regional training course on the application of the integrated coastal
management (ICM) system for addressing marine pollution problems. The
training initiative is unique in that: (a) the training curriculum is tailored for
strengthening environmental protection and management capacity in the developing countries; (b) it is conducted in the ICM demonstration sites which
provide practical exposure to the problems and their solutions; (c) it is a joint
effort of a number of educational and research institutions in the region; and
(d) it focuses on providing a broad-base, multidisciplinary training to environmental and natural resource planners, managers and trainers. The training
package includes ICM approaches, tools and methodologies particularly concerning institutional arrangements, improving legal regime and enforcement,
environmental monitoring, scientific services, sustainable financing and information management. This paper attempts to review the outputs, experiences
and lessons learned from the past three years. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Abstract: The paper re-examines the views expressed by Nollkaemper in a
paper published in Marine Policy in November 1993 concerning Agenda 21
and the prevention of sea-based marine pollution, at the same time as providing an up-to-date account of what has subsequently transpired under the
auspicies of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to implement the
outcome of the Rio Earth Summit held in June 1992. The paper contrasts
Nollkaemper's predictions as to issues that might be expected to receive attention in the context of Agenda 21 with actual developments on related issues in IMO over the past five years. Emerging issues covered by the paper
Include incorporation by IMO of the precautionary approach and progress
made in implementing IMO's strategy for extra budgetary activities relating to
environmentally sustainable development, covering such issues as the provision of waste reception facilities in ports and capacity-building for coastal states bordering a shalt used for international navigation. The aim of the latter is
to develop self-sustaining financial mechanisms which would effectively transfer the cost to the user of the facility, thus eliminating the difficulties that many
developing countries have in meeting international safety and environmental
standards. Until 1995 the author was cc-ordinator of IMO's follow-up to the
Earth Summit as a full-time staff member of the Organisation's Marine Environment Division. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: This paper concentrates on the past and present interaction between the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, donor organisations
and developing countries in the development of regional programmes for
creating and supporting marine science capabilities. The Global Ocean Observing System and Integrated Coastal Zone Management in relation to fisheries, marine pollution and climate/sea level changes require regional input
which depends on South-South and North-South cooperation. The Indian
Ocean with the Eastern African region, serve as an example for an ongoing
process of capacity building and growing partnership in marine science.
Through the Intergovernmental Oceanographic commission, a strong and very
beneficial cooperation was established, with several donors, in particular with
the Swedish Agency for Research Cooperation with Developing Countries.
This tripartite partnership of (a) a regional body with a regionally driven programme, (b) a global coordination mechanism in the form of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, and(c) a multi-lateral donor in the form of
the Swedish Agency for Research Go-operation with Developing Countries is
in fact a model for regional development aid. The need for strong leadership
of regional bodies is emphasised including a formal intersessional mechanism
in the form of a bureau. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment
(Stockholm, UN Conference, 1972) outlined a 'masterplan' linking environmental assessment, environmental management and supporting measures as
basic and inseparable elements of environmental actions plans. It also indicated the advantages of a regional approach in contributing to the solution of
global problems. The Regional Seas Programme of UNEP (United Nations
Environment Programme) was subsequently initiated in 1974 (UN General
Assembly, 1972). Development of UNEP's Regional Seas Programme demonstrated that the basic concepts formulated at Stockholm can effectively
foster regional cooperation among interested States, and may benefit from the
support of the United Nations system as a whole. The present Regional Seas
Pro gramme includes fourteen regions, comprising over 140 coastal States. It
- 178 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
was conceived as an action-oriented programme encompassing a comprehensive, trans-sectoral approach to marine and coastal areas and to environmental problems, considering not only the consequences, but also the causes
of environmental degradation. Each Regional Seas Programme is based on
the needs of the region concerned. The Regional Seas Programmes promote
the parallel development of regional legal agreements, and of action-oriented
programme activities, as embodied in the action plans. The overall strategy to
be followed, as defined by UNEP's Governing Council (UNEP, 1974) is: Promotion of international and regional conventions, guidelines and actions for
the control of marine pollution and the protection and management of aquatic
resources. Assessment of the state of marine pollution, pollution sources and
trends, and of the impact of pollution on human health, marine ecosystems
and amenities. Coordination of efforts with regard to environmental aspects of
the protection, development and management of marine and coastal resources. Support for education and training efforts to facilitate the full participation
of developing countries in the protection, development and management of
marine and coastal resources. Because the goal of each Regional Seas Programme is to benefit the States of that region, governments are involved from
the very beginning in the formulation of the action plan. After acceptance, the
implementation of the programme is carried out, under the overall authority of
the governments concerned, by national institutions nominated by their governments. Although the Regional Seas Programme is implemented primarily
by government-nominated institutions, specialized United Nations bodies, as
well as the relevant international and regional organizations, contribute to its
formulation, and also provide assistance to these national institutions. UNEP
acts as an overall coordinator for the development and implementation of regional action plans. In some cases, this role is limited to the initial phase of the
activities. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Abstract: Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world. The 3.1 million
km(2) seas cover about two-thirds of its territory. The 200 miles exclusive
economic zone adds another 2.7 million km(2). Marine related programmes
are given a high priority by the Indonesian government. During the last two
decades a concerted effort in marine capacity building has been carried out
through bilateral, regional and international co-operation. This effort included,
among others, increasing manpower development, expanding and improving
research facilities, establishing a national marine data centre, and improving
communications and co-operation throughout the marine science community.
The bilateral agreement with the Netherlands in the mid-1980s for the implementation of the Snellius II Programme, laid the intellectual basis for the Indonesian marine science capability. The necessary research vessels were obtained through bilateral co-operation with France. At present Indonesia operates: a network of tide gauges and current meter stations; two satellite ground
stations; tropical radar wind profiling stations; a network of marine pollution
- 179 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
stations; a number of ocean going, coastal and fisheries research vessels;
and six SEAWATCH monitoring buoys. It is expected that Indonesia will play a
major role in the western Pacific region in the near future. This paper gives a
brief review of the Indonesian experience in developing a national marine capability. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

the disposal of wastewater from the fish meal and oil industries into the sea.
With this aim we have analysed some phisico-chemical and bacteriologic aspects of the effluents of these industries, including: weight percentage of organic matter, chemical oxygen load, fatty acids saturation, and presence of
Salmonellas. ?he results suggest a low polluting potential for these effluents,
although Be acid pH and the high rate of saturation found in fatty acids of oil
fishes could imply a certain toxicity for the marine environment

few studios have attempted statistical analysis of such data in order to quantitatively assess the sensitivity of epifauna to anthropogenic influences. This
paper the use of species-time techniques, which substitute time for area and
produce estimates of relative abundance of species based on time. This paper
adapts such a technique, the 'VisuaI Fast Count', to quantitatively assess the
impact of trawling on horse mussel, Modiolus modiolus, communities. Direct
counts of individuals at various taxonomic levels were made from the still photographic images. The potential sole of such techniques in the management of
epifaunal communities in wider marine pollution studies is discussed. (C) 1998

was found in typhoon shelters (total PCBs, up to 169 mu g kg(-1) met weight;
total PAHs, up to 1159 mu g kg(-1) wet weight). Analysis of the data from the

Abstract: Thirty eight core samples of sediment were collected from seven
coastal zones around the Island of Singapore for the purpose of surveying the
concentrations of metallic pollutants in the marine sediments. The samples
were analyzed by means of the Proton-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) technique to obtain the concentrations of the trace metals Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As
and Pb. Some of them were also analyzed with the X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)
technique to determine the concentration of Sn. The survey provided valuable
information about the levels of marine pollution in the various coastal zones
and shed light on the major source of some of the pollutants. Interesting concentration depth profiles of the metallic pollutants in sediments were also obtained from a number of the core samples collected. The concentration depth
profiles of Cu, Zn, Sn and Pb obtained from one of the core samples exhibited
a steep decrease at a depth of 10 cm, implying that a sudden increase of these pollutants occurred some 20-33 years ago. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier

Abstract: Determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and nonylphenols (NoPhs) in the Sea of Japan not only points out the extent of marine
pollution but also helps to understand the deep sea structure of that semienclosed "small ocean". Using an in-situ filtration/extraction technique, two
vertical profiles (deep water and shallow coastal water) and two spaceintegrated surface profiles were taken. Concentrations of Sigma CBs (sum of
30 individual congeners) in solution were between 0.1 and 1.2 pg dm(-3) and
in suspension were between 0.2 and 1.5 pg dm(-3); those of Sigma NoPhs in
solution were 2-150 pg dm(-3) and below detection limits in suspension. The
concentrations of Sigma CBs and nonylphenols in solution as well as the
compositions of the CB mixtures in solution in the vertical profile indicates a
vertical structure similar to the situation in the open ocean as suggested by
Kim (Biogeochemical processes in the North Pacific; Tsunogai, S., Ed.; Japan
Marine Science Foundation: Tokyo 1996; pp 41-51). The concentrations of
CBs in solution were determined primarily by chara cteristics of the water bodies involved, solution-suspension interactions playing only a minor role. Principal component analyses of the data revealed a relation between deep and
bottom waters and surface waters of the nearby region

Abstract: The report presents a general overview of the way the carriage of
bulk liquids in tank vessels takes place, covering statistics on the world fleet
and the main shipping routes. Statistics on spills and spill volumes are presented. The effects of some accidental spills on the marine environment are presented in an exemplary fashion. Operational discharges leading to chronic pollution are discussed in a general manner (discussions on specific effects will
be published in the instalments). Despite the publicity that tanker incidents attract, pollution from tankships contributes only a small proportion of the pollutants that enter the seas each year. However, a general lack of data on transport and discharge volumes, a shortage in marine environment research programs for the evaluation of environmental impacts of the world fleet of merchant skips and the difficulties in controlling environmental standards on ships
in the open sea hamper the quantitative description of the environmental effects and the long-term risk involved. This is the first part of a four Volume report on the effects of tankships on the marine environment. The three further
parts of the report will deal with (i) specific environmental health effects, (ii) the
scientific evaluation of the hazards of bulk liquids carried, and (iii) the intemational regulatory system introduced to protect the marine environment

Abstract: Coastal zones of Eastern Africa are endowed with a diversity of life
forms and resources which support large populations of coastal communities
The economies of the countries in the region are dependent on these resources in the form of fisheries and coastal forest products, tourism, shipways and
coastal facilities such as ports, industries and urban centers Population
growth, especially in coastal urban centers is increasing the demand for coastal and marine resources. In addition, poverty, lack of awareness and inadequate management have resulted in over exploitation of coastal and marine
resources, habitat destruction including shoreline erosion as well as marine

pollution. The rate of resource depletion and environmental degradation is on
the increase. There is an urgent need for instituting management measure
that will reverse the current trend. The governments in the region have accepted and are committed to the implementation of integrated coastal management (ICZM) as an effective mechanism for addressing and resolving the multiplicity of issues experienced in coastal areas through sectoral coordination
and collaborative approaches However the process has just begun and there
ale a number of ICZM initiatives in progress at local, national and regional levels This paper presents the issues of the coastal Zone and reviews some of
the progress made to date in the implementation of ICZM. (C) 1997 Elsevier

Abstract: Xiamen has been selected as a demonstration sire for the
GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme for the Prevention and Management of
Marine Pollution in the East Asian Seas. Its purpose is to test a working model
for the application of an integrated coastal management system for mitigating
marine pollution, rapid economic development. The paper outlines the success in ICM institutional development at the local level, particularly the establishment of decision-making mechanisms based on consensus building
among major stakeholders, and inputs from science and technology. Further,
the institutional development provides a framework for, and facilitates progress in, the legislative improvement and enforcement, cross-sectoral marine
pollution monitoring, developing sustainable financing options, enhancing public awareness and participation, and capacity building towards ICM goals.
Evaluation criteria for application of ICM system are also discussed. (C) 1998

Abstract: Organisms combat pollutants by inducing biotransformation pathways, which can be used for biomonitoring. Several parameters-biomarkerschange in stressed organisms or populations at different organisation levels.
Molecular or cellular biomarkers are early-warning indicators of pollution.
Xenobiotics are first biotransformed by phase I enzymes and then conjugated
with endogenous metabolites by phase II enzymes. Many organic xenobiotics
are initially biotransformed by cytochrome P4501A1; in mammals, it is induced
by pollutants via Ah receptor, although in marine invertebrates, its inducibility
is much more equivocal. Metallothioneins are small Cys-rich proteins which
bind transition metals; they detoxicate pollutant metals and are clearly induced
in metal-exposed marine invertebrates. Some pollutants are genotoxins or can
be converted into them. Determination of mutagens in bivalve molluscs following extraction with solvents and assay of mutagenicity with bacterial tests is
a useful biomarker for marine pollution. While some pollutants are directly mutagenic, others are only mutagenic after they are activated to mutagenic derivatives by monooxygenases or conjugative enzymes. Many of these catalysts
are induced by xenobiotics; thus, increased activation of known promutagens
can be used as biomarker of environmental pollution. Bioactivation of promutagens requires the simultaneous action of different pathways, thus, reproducing more closely the in vivo situation than the specific assay of individual biotransforming enzymes. Study of molluscs with different pollution levels indicates that polluted animals have higher capacity to activate 2-aminoanthracene
and contain more apolar mutagens than those from reference areas. (C) 1998

Abstract: To evaluate sediment marine environmental quality in the Gulf of
Cadiz, an integrative assessment approach was used-the sediment quality
triad (SQT). Sediment samples were collected at seven stations in two littoral
ecosystems and subjected to six separate, replicated sediment toxicity tests,
comprehensive sediment chemistry analyses, and replicated benthic infaunal
analyses. Chemistry analyses indicated that different contamination sources
were associated with sediments highly contaminated with linear alkylbenzenesulfonates and some heavy metals associated with sewage discharges (Pb,
- 186 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
and Ag), sediments with moderate levels of heavy metals associated with industrial activities (Hg, Cr, and As), and other sediments with slight or no contamination. Toxicity tests indicated that sediments close to the sewage discharges were most toxic, those associated with slight or no contamination were not toxic, and those associated with both sewage discharges and industrial
sources of contamination were intermediate. Infaunal analyses indicated that
communities at the salt-marsh of the Barbate River stations and CBZ station
in the Bay of Cadiz were the most altered, whereas those at CB5 and CB3 in
the Bay of Cadiz were slightly altered, relative to stations CB1 and CB4 in the
Bay of Cadiz. A different methodology to calculate the ratio-to-reference and
each composite SQT index value is proposed by adding to the classical normalization by using the reference clean station as a new normalization that includes a reference polluted station to establish a between-the-maximum and
minimum level obtained in the area studied. We propose this new methodology to calculate weighted results based on the fact that they are obtained using
two points of reference for comparison. The results show that sediment pollution is restricted to the vicinity of one untreated sewage discharge in the Bay
of Cadiz

Abstract: McMurdo Station is the largest research station in Antarctica, with a
population that ranges each year from 250 to 1200 people. Because of its size
and 40-year history of use, a number of locations around the station have become contaminated with wastes. Soils and sediments in these areas have
been shown to contain elevated levels of petroleum-related products, PCBs,
other organics, and metals. While some remedial investigations have been
conducted, background levels of metals in soils have not been determined.
This paper reports on background levels of metals in a natural basalt-derived
soil ('gray soil') and scoria (soft porous rock used as fill, 'red soil') near
McMurdo Station using two fundamentally different analytical procedures,
concentrated acid extraction/analysis and total metals. These data facilitate
determining the extent and levels of metal contamination near McMurdo Station and provide reference levels of metals for comparison with existing and
future remediation data. There were statistically significant differences between metals concentrations in both gray and red soils, and no correlations
between the level of extracted versus total metal. Generally, only a small fraction of a metal was extractable

Abstract: Mutagenic activation of arylamines by mollusc S9 Fractions was
evaluated as a biomarker for marine pollution. Two bivalve species were used
as bioindicators, the common mussel (Mytilus edulis) and the striped venus
(Chamelea gallina). A strain of Salmonella typhimurium overproducing Oacetyltransferase was used as indicator of mutagenicity. Mussels from an
area of the North Atlantic Spanish zone that was exposed to on accidental
crude oil spill were compared to bivalves from a reference area. C. gallina
samples were from low polluted and highly polluted areas of the South Atlantic
Spanish littoral. The promutagen 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA) was activated to
mutagenic derivative(s) by S9 frattions from both C. gallina and M. edulis.
Animals from contaminated sites showed higher arylamine activation capabilities than reference animals. This was further correlated with the mutagenic
activities of corresponding cyclopentane-dichloromethane animal extracts. 2AA activation by mollusc S9 was potentiated by alpha-naphthoflavone (ANF),
known to inhibit PAM-inducible CYP1A cytochromes from vertebrates, but inhibited by methimazole (MZ), a substrate of the flavin monooxygenase (FMO)
system. 2-AA-activating enzymes were mainly cytosolic; this localization clearly suggests that such activity could be attributed to soluble enzymes, different
from the CYP1A or FMO systems. In conclusion, mutagenic activation of arylamines by mollusc S9, using as indicator a strain of Salmonella typhimurium
that overproduces O-acetyltransferase, could be a reliable biomarker for marine pollution. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc

Abstract: Data presented in earlier publications on the 1988 epizootic among
seals in North West Europe show a pattern that is somewhat inconsistent with
the predictions of the standard mathematical model of epidemics. We argue
that for animals living in herds or colonies, such as seals, the mutual contact
behaviour is such that models for the transmission of infectious diseases
should be applied with special care for the distinction between numbers and
densities. This is demonstrated by using a mechanistic description of the contacts among seals, which leads to a slightly different formulation of the model.
Results of the analysis of this formulation are more in line with the data. The
model introduced here can be applied to epidemics among all kinds of animals living in herds and in fact to any species with constant local density, independent of the total population size (i.e., occupying a variable area). Application of the traditional formulation, using different parameters for herds of different sizes, will give equally good results for non-lethal diseases. However,
especially for diseases with a low R-0 and high death rates, such as the phocine distemper virus (PDV) disease, the two model formulations give quite different results. Further analysis of the model is performed to determine the
- 189 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
most important factors influencing such an epidemic. The survival of infected
animals turns out to have a disproportionately great influence on the intensity
of the epidemic. Therefore in the case of the PDV epizootic we conclude that
marine pollution may not only have contributed to the high death rates, but, if
so, it has intensified the epizootic as well. (C) 1998 Society for Mathematical

Abstract: The highest concentrations of Cu, Zn, Ph, Cd and Ag in marine sediments from Gdansk Bay, Poland, occur near the mouth of the Vistula River.
These elements are probably scavenged at the hydrological front by Mn and
Fe oxyhydroxides where mixing of Vistula river water with brackish Baltic Sea
water takes place. Vistula Lagoon sediments are much less polluted with Zn,
Pb, Cd and Ag than those from Puck Bay and Gdansk Bay. This reflects the
fact that the heavily-polluted Vistula River no longer flows directly into the Vistula Lagoon. Remediation of these areas will be costly, but this is an essential
stage in the cleaning up of the Baltic Sea. Remediation will require the upgrading of present industrial systems, adoption of modern technology and the installation of municipal sewage treatment plants. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V

Abstract: Seastars (Asterias rubens L.) were collected at sampling locations
in different areas along transects radiating into the southern North Sea, representing areas impacted by contaminants to different degrees. Strand breakage in DNA isolated from tissue of the pyloric caeca was measured by the alkaline unwinding assay, modified to allow for the isolation of highly intact DNA.
The interpretation of the results is based on the incidence of DNA strand
breaks (expressed as the double : total DNA ratio or F value, indicating the
degree of double-strandedness). The cytochrome P-450 concentration and
the benzo [a] pyrene (BaP) hydroxylase activity were measured in microsomal
fractions of the pyloric caeca. The chlorinated biphenyl (CB) congeners in tissue samples from the digestive gland were determined by temperatureprogrammed gas-chromatography, with a CPSil8 capillary column as the stationary phase, hydrogen as the carrier gas and Ni-63-electron capture detection. Areas where seastars showed different DNA integrity could be described.
The highest integrity (0.75 < F < 0.85) was found in the off-shore reference sites of the Dogger Bank and Southern Bight. The mean F value in seastars
from most sampling locations varied between 55 and 75%. The lowest DNA
integrity (0.35 < F < 0.55) was found in specimens obtained from sampling locations near the river Rhine delta, along the Dutch coast and at two expected
uncontaminated offshore areas. The BaP hydroxylase activity was relatively
high near the mouth of the rivers Rhine and Scheldt, but also at a supposedly
clean site near Dogger Bank. The concentration of CB congeners in the pyloric caeca of seastars decreased along transects radiating into the southern
North Sea from the coastal areas of the Netherlands; the highest concentrations were in the nearby coastal areas and the lowest were in the open sea
sampling locations. The data indicate that there might be a relationship between pollution from the Rivers Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt and the incidence
of DNA strand breaks and/or BaP hydroxylase activity

Abstract: The Arabian Gulf is a shallow marginal sea of the Indian Ocean. It
is a semi-closed basin which extends for nearly 1000 km from Shatt Al-Arab,
the nexus of the Tigris, Euphrates, and Karun Rivers in the northwest, to the
Strait of Hormuz in the southeast, and covers a surface area of about 239 000
km(2). In addition to Shatt Al-Arab, river inflow into the Gulf occurs primarily
on the Iranian northeastern side, the estuary of major rivers such as the Hendijan, the Rud Hilleh, and the Mand. The bathymetry of the Inner Sea basin
shallows to the northwest and to the west coast (Reynolds 1993), whilst the
basin floor is asymmetric with its axis lying close to the Iranian Coast. It slopes
gradually from the shallow deltaic northern part to deeper waters in the south,
with the depth rarely exceeding 100 m (only 36 m on average). It is a region of
great interest to environmental scientists. It is bordered by rock sequences
which contain the richest oil deposits in the world, and one-third of world oil
energy is transported through this body of water. Despite the tremendous
stress exerted by oil production and transportation, this area was also a subject of man-made pollution. Between 19 and 30 January 1991, an estimated
10.8 million (1.7 Mm(3)) barrels of oil were spilled deliberately by Iraqi troops
in the Gulf waters, mainly from seven abandoned tankers and the Al-Ahmadi
Sea Island terminal near the coast of Kuwait, in addition to smaller discharges
from the Iraqi Mina Al-Bakr terminal and nearby sunken tankers, and the Saudi Ras Al-Zur refinery at Mina Sa'ud (Tawfiq and Olsen 1993). It is also estimated that 8 million (1.3 Mm(3)) barrels of oil fallout from the smoke plumes of
the 727 oil well blowouts and fires in Kuwait oil fields, started in late February
1991 by departing Iraqi troops, were deposited in the Gulf marine environment
(Al-Rabeh et al. 1992; Literathy 1993). The airborne fallouts, which contained
oil-combustion products, particularly ash, and trace metals originally present
in the burnt crude oil, doubled the size of the oil slick and made the event the
largest of its kind in the history of marine pollution (Reynolds 1993). As part of
the efforts exerted by the international community to assess the impact of the
Kuwait oil slick, an integrated programme was planned and sponsored by the
Regional Organization for the Protection of Marine Environment (ROPME),
the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the United Nations
Environmental Programme (UNEP), and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The programme was partially achieved
through a 100-day cruise in the region from February to June 1992 aboard the
NOAA research vessel "Mt. Mitchell". During this cruise, the Arabian Gulf was
extensively surveyed and a large number of samples was collected for more
than 100 offshore sampling stations. Two years later an integrated project
plan was formulated by ROPME and IOC to study the long-term impact of the
oil slick on the Gulf marine environment. As part of this plan, arrangements
- 192 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
were made for a group of scientists to cruise the region aboard the Japanese
research vessel "Umitaka Maru" between 15 and 26 December 1993. The
main objective of the Japanese cruise, however, was to study the effect of the
oil slick on marine biota. Therefore, a limited number of sediment core samples was collected during the cruise from only 20 sampling stations selected
for such biological studies (Al-Ghadban et al. 1996). Massoud et al. (1986)
and Al-Abdali et al. (1996) carried out a series of sedimentological and geochemical studies on 112 sediment core samples (approximate to 15 cm deep)
collected from the Arabian Gulf during the 1992 Mt. Mitchell cruise to investigate the petroleum hydrocarbon and trace metal pollutants transferred from
the Kuwait oil slick to the sea bed and residing in these sediments. Also, measurements taken for total organic carbon (TOC), total petroleum hydrocarbons
(TPH), and selected trace metals in sediment samples collected during the
1993 Umitaka Maru cruise were also compared with those made on samples
collected from the same offshore sampling stations during the 1992 Mt. Mitchell cruise to throw light on the status of oil pollution in the Arabian Gulf and
the fate and effect of the Kuwait oil slick three years after the oil was spilled.
None of the previous studies provided detailed information about the nature
and importance of sedimentation rate and bioturbation in the Arabian Gulf.
Both environmental factors have certain implications in any data interpretation
that concerns the fate of pollutants in any marine environment. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: Electrolysis seawater has been used for preventing marine pollution
by coastal power stations. In this paper, the properties of various anodes used
in seawater electrolysis are compared. For Pt and platinized anodes, the calculated consumption rate of Pt is similar to 500 mg/A . Y for Pt/Ti, it is similar
- 193 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
to 340 mg/A . Y for Pt/Ta and it is similar to 240 mg/A . Y for solid Pt. As the
electrode gap and flow velocity of the seawater increase, the potarization of
Pt/Ti anode is aggravated. As the evolved chlorine potential of IrO2/Ti is higher: than that of Pt-IrO2/Ti and the evolved oxygen potential is lower than that
of Pt-IrO2/Ti, IrO2/Ti is not expected anode for electrolyzing seawater. The Pt
contant has only a small influence on the polarization of the Pt-IrO2/Ti anode,
but the lifetime of Pt-IrO2/Ti anode increases as the IrO, content increases.
The sensitivities of various anodes to Mn ions in seawater are different. As the
thickness of the electrodeposited MnO2 increases, Pt-PdO/Ti node has good
activity evolved chlorine and property of preventing Mn ion from polluting, but
the lifetime of the node is shorfer. If lifetime of Pt-PdO/Ti could be enhanced, it
would be an excellent anode for preventing marine polluting

Wall 1967 (10-41%) within the restricted fjord correspond with the Medieval
Warm Period, and is succeeded by decreased percentages (5%) from about
AD 1380 corresponding with the onset of the more adverse climate of the 'Little Ice Age'. Two peaks of Operculodinium centrocarpum (Deflandre and
Cookson) Wall 1967, at about AD 1700 followed by decreased total cyst concentrations in the enclosed fjord and increased total cyst concentrations in the
open fjord, is used to correlate cores from the two fjords, and suggests climatic change. Increased pollution from sewage discharge as the human population of the city of Bergen expanded is suggested by decreased total cyst concentrations (cyst/g dry sediment) accompanied by peak concentrations of O.
centrocarpum at about 1850 and a peak concentration of cysts of the heterotrophic species Protoperidinium conicum (Gran) Balech 1974 at about 1930. A
smaller peak of O. centrocarpum together with slightly increased total cyst
concentrations towards the top of the cored sediments may indicate improved
water conditions after sewage discharge into the inner fjord was reduced in
the 1980s

Abstract: In order to elucidate marine pollution by butyltins and organochlorine residues in coastal waters of Thailand, green mussels (Perna viridis) were
collected in 1994 and 1995 and analyzed. Butyltin compounds, such as tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MET), were detected in most
mussel samples, ranging from 4 to 800 ng g(-1) wet wt (as total). The composition of butyltin derivatives in green mussel was in the order of TBT > DBT >
MBT. The results indicated that butyltin contamination was widespread, particularly in high boating areas and in coastal aquaculture facilities. Concentrations of organochlorine residues were much lower than of butyltin compounds.
Among organochlorine residues examined, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
compounds (DDTs) were found to be the highest, followed by polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) > chlordane compounds (CHLs) > hexachlorocyclohexanes
(HCHs) > hexachlorobenzene (HCB). To our knowledge, this is a first report
on the detection of butyltin residues in Thailand coastal waters. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: Recently marine pollution has been a hot issue in shipbuilding fields
especially in the design of crude oil tanker ships. There are many significant
constraints to be considered at the design stage. In this paper an expert system to support compartment design of a crude oil tanker is developed so as to
- 195 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
treat many of the constraints and design changes according to their conflicts
effectively. The nonmonotonic reasoning concept helps a designer to perform
his/her design in spite of complicated and cross-related design constraints. In
addition, this system focuses on the integration of the knowledge base, database, case base, and CAE programs, hence reliable solutions can be assured. The validation of the system was examined and verified by applying the
system to the 250,000 ton crude oil tanker (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: The activities of enzymes associated with xenobiotic metabolism
and/or oxidative processes, and the levels of aromatic-DNA adducts, have
been determined in the livers of grey mullet (Oedalechilus labeo and Lisa ramada) living in two eastern Mediterranean harbours. Glutathione peroxidase
(GSH-P) activity was 2.5 times higher (similar to 9 IU g(-1) liver) and glutathione reductase (GSSG-R) activity was twice as high (similar to 2.5 id g(-1) liver) in fish from the more polluted harbour at Mersin than in the harbour near
Erdemli. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was 25% lower (4.3 IU g(-1) liver) in the more polluted harbour. The concentrations of glutathione and malondialdehyde varied both with species and environment by a factor of 2.5-3.
DNA adducts in liver were determined by P-32-postlabelling. In Oedalechilus
labeo in the more polluted harbour, adduct levels were 258 +/- 21 adducts per
10(8) nucleotides (mean +/- SE); two groups of Lisa ramada were distinguished having 261 +/- 48 and 30 +/- 6 adducts per 10(8) nucleotides, respectively. The average adduct level in a group of mullet of mixed species in the less
polluted harbour was 3.3 +/- 2.3 adducts per 10(8) nucleotides. The results
illuminate the ability of mullet to live in contaminated marine environments,
and show that enzyme activities and liver DNA adduct levels can serve as indicators of marine pollution

Abstract: A geographical information system (GIS) is used to relate sediment
distributions to heavy metal concentrations and pesticides, to detect if they are
related physically to sediments or they are affected mainly in their distributions
by the discharge from land. Vector maps depicting distributions of bottom sediment, Copper, Iron, Cadmium and DDT, alpha-BHC and Lindane residues in
water, are converted to raster format (5548 m(2) grid cells). The procedure
employed can be applied to other environmental management tasks. Direct
spatial correspondence between bottom muddy sediments and high concentrations of the three heavy metals studied, is detected. High concentrations of
copper and iron indicate relationship to industrial sources in the western sector of the bay. No spatial correspondence is present between bottom sediments and pesticides

Abstract: The ratio between oxygen supply and oxygen demand was examined as a predictor of benthic response to organic enrichment caused by salmon net-pen aquaculture. Oxygen supply to the benthos was calculated based on Fickian diffusion and near-bottom flow velocities. A strong linear correlation was found between measured carbon sedimentation rates and rates of
benthic metabolism. This relationship allowed an estimation of oxygen demand based on sedimentation rates. Comparison of several production sites
in Maine (USA) coastal waters showed that for sites where oxygen demand
exceeded supply benthic impacts were high and for sites where oxygen sup-

Abstract: The need to monitor and control pollution in closed seas receiving a
large number of anthropogenic pollutants, has prompted us to carry out this
work. Analyses of sea water are routinely performed in order to monitor the
level of contamination of the marine environment by various pollution factors.
This work is a part of a long term, large scale environmental study concerning
areas of the Saronic Gulf, in Greece, with marinas, recreational beaches and
provides information on the pollution level and its course over time. Several
physical and chemical parameters were determined and were compared with
those estimated for locations in investigations carried out in previous years. It
can be seen from the experimental results that most locations are substantially polluted. The organic pollutant and heavy metal content were very high.
The level of metals measured was found at approximately the same level with
previous measurements with the exception of Fe which was found to accumulate over the years

Abstract: Hong Kong has enjoyed more than 20 years of almost uninterrupted economic growth and the territory is widely recognized as one of the most
successful of the newly industrializing economies. Economic success has,
however, brought with it a variety of environmental problems including deterioration of air and water bodies and the loss of terrestrial and marine habitats.
Environmental degradation also poses a serious threat to local biodiversity.
Despite its stated commitment to environmental protection, the Kong Kong
Government is still strongly growth-oriented and the territory's environmental
institutions and policies often seem ineffective in resolving the conflicts that
arise between development and the environment. To illustrate some of the
contradictions inherent in Hong Kong's current approach to environmental and
conservation issues, this paper focuses on the controversy surrounding the fate of the local population of the Indo-Pacific humped-back dolphin, or, as it is
locally known, the Chinese white dolphin (Sousa chinensis). The dolphin's
habitat has been disrupted by major development projects, marine pollution
and fishing and shipping activity. It is possible that the species will be extinct
in Kong Kong waters by the beginning of the next century. The paper examines the background to the controversy that has arisen surrounding the future
of the dolphins and evaluates the Government's attempts to develop a conservation strategy to protect them. The preferred option-the creation of a
dolphin sanctuary within a designated marine park area-has been strongly criticized by some local marine biologists and conservationists as being inadequate and inappropriate. The failure to address effectively the problems faced
by the Chinese white dolphin may be attributed to the lack of an overall conservation strategy in Hong Kong, shortcomings in the territory's environmental
impact assessment system and limited local scientific knowledge concerning
the dolphin population. (C) 1997 Academic Press Limited

squid livers were higher in coastal waters than in open oceans. The highest
values of TBT and TPT of 279 and 519 ng g(-1), respectively, were detected
off Japan. TBT concentrations were higher in the northern hemisphere than
those of the southern hemisphere organisms. TPT was not detected in squid

Abstract: McMurdo Station is the largest research station in Antarctica and
has a population that ranges from 250 to 1200 people. Wastewater from the
Station is macerated, was sometimes mixed with waste brine from the desalinization plant and is discharged to McMurdo Sound. Effluent water quality has
been routinely monitored since 1989, and a special ambient water quality study was conducted by Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) personnel
in 1992. Results of the effluent monitoring efforts show that low concentrations
of a few organic contaminants have been detected, while concentrations of
metals, particularly copper, are considerably higher. Ambient water quality
and sea ice monitoring detected very few contaminants, all at very low levels.
Only minor and variable dissolved oxygen depression was detected near the
outfall. Diatom communities near the outfall differ in relative abundance, cell
counts, and chlorophyll a content compared to control sites. For the purpose
of evaluating the impact of McMurdo's effluent on ambient water quality, improved effluent monitoring and sediment quality monitoring are recommended
instead of frequent monitoring of ambient water quality

Abstract: The Italian Coast Guard Corps operates twelve fixed-wing airplanes, type Piaggio P 166 DL3, for the performing of tasks related to the survey
of marine environment. Three of them are fully equipped with a remote sensing system. This system, including a bispectral scanner system Daedalus AA
2000 and a multispectral scanner system Daedalus DS 1268, can make a
quick and effective survey both of the shoreline and large areas offshore and
process and interpret real time data. Environmental (oil pollution erosion,
coastal assessment) and policing purposes (identification and appraisal of
illegal releases, prevention and repression of unauthorized building) are supported by such surveys. Satellite platforms (ERS-1, ERS-2) can he utilized for
surveillance duties, although, in the case of operational activities, a comparison with the data available from airborne remote sensing system must be made. The planning of such a programme cannot be carried out without a keen
cost-benefit evaluation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: Meteo-France has national and international responsibilities concerning marine oil pollution fighting: In case of a threat of marine pollution by
oil along the French coastline, the Prefet Maritime may request the services of
Meteo-France. Meteo-France is engaged within the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Marine Pollution Emergency Response Support System
(MPERSS). Because of these engagements, Meteo-France developed an oil
spill response system. This system is designed to simulate the transport of oil
in three dimensions. It consists of a hydrodynamic ocean model linked to an
oil spill model including current shear, vertical movements and fate of the oil.
The atmospheric forcing is provided by the wind and sea level pressure forecasts from a global atmospheric model. In the English Channel and the Bay of
Biscay, a tide forcing is also included. This oil spill response system is applicable anywhere in the world (with a coarser resolution far from the French
coastline) and is available round the clock. New developments, exercises and
training are conducted jointly with the collaboration of CeDRE (Centre de Documentation de Recherche et d'Experimentation sur les pollutions accidentelles des eaux). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: The influence of vegetation on longitudinal dispersion was studied
in a laboratory flume for three flow velocities and three plant population densities. Rhodamine was injected continuously upstream of the dowel array and
sampled at mio positions downstream. The dispersion coefficient was estimated by fitting the concentration time series at the final downstream station. Enhanced turbulence as well as diminished vertical shear resulted in a lower
dispersion coefficient when the plants were present. In addition, recirculation
zones behind I ach stem trapped and delayed a fraction of the mass, enhancing the longitudinal dispersion and creating significant frontal delay. (C) 1997

Abstract: Marine pollution and coastal degradation have become serious development issues in the Caribbean. Early evidence of marine pollution was
mainly anecdotal, but within the last 10-15 years, work conducted by universities and research institutions in the Region has provided the beginnings of a
database that identifies several common marine pollution problems. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) and the Pan American World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) have also been instrumental in co-ordinating several marine pollution studies. In the English-speaking Caribbean, the University of the
West Indies, the Institute of Marine Affairs in Trinidad and Tobago, and the
Caribbean Environmental Health Institute located in St Lucia, have taken a
lead role in identifying marine pollution problems in their Sub-Region. For the
Wider Caribbean a database for petroleum pollution and marine debris has
been developed. Land-based sources of marine pollution have been identified
as a major problem, with several 'hot spots' identified in mainland countries
and in some of the larger industrialised islands. Organic and nutrient pollution,
particularly from sewage, is most widespread and is possibly the most serious
marine pollution problem in the Caribbean. A lack of capital investment funds
to install the appropriate infrastructure to deal with sewage and other liquid effluents is a major stumbling block to solving the problem of marine pollution in
the Caribbean. Other factors include political will and administrative and legal
structures to regulate human development activities

Abstract: Marine pollution from land-based activities (MPLBA) poses one of
the most serious threats to the coastal and marine environment. This paper
outlines the nature of the problem and focuses on recent initiatives taken by
the Australian government to tackle it. This paper suggests that a solid foundation has been laid for a concerted effort to combat MPLBA in Australia with
the release of the first State of the Marine Environment Report and Commonwealth Coastal Policy, development of a National Water Quality Management
Strategy and National Waste Minimisation and Recycling Strategy in addition
to strong public interest. Yet serious shortcomings are identified, in some initiatives, that stem front a failure to view MPLBA as primarily a waste management problem rather than a water quality or coastal and marine issue. Tentative suggestions are made as to where future action may be taken. (C) 1997

Abstract: Although surveys of soft-bottom macrofauna are an important tool
in marine pollution monitoring, the high costs involved have often been criticised. Species identification is time-consuming, and one solution is to identify
organisms to a taxonomic level higher than species. This study, using data
from a survey in the vicinity of the Valhall oil field in the Norwegian sector of
the North Sea, examines the effects of using abundances of different taxonomic levels, and of using different data transformations (used to adjust the relative weightings of rare and abundant taxa) in subsequent multivariate analyses of faunal patterns, and relates the environmental variables to the observed faunal patterns from the different analyses. The study area has a constant
water depth, homogeneous bottom sediment and a uniform benthic community. At the time of the survey the platform had been active for 9 yr, and strong
gradients in environmental contaminants and related faunal changes were
found. Data from 27 stations around the oil platform were analysed at the levels of species, genus, family, order, class and phylum, using a range of data
transformations and multivariate techniques. The data matrix contained 156
species grouped into 138 genera, 102 families, 42 orders, 18 classes and 10
- 204 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
phyla. Matrices derived from species, genus and family abundances constructed using the same transformation are very similar, and even at higher taxonomic levels the gradient of change in community structure is still detectable.
As the taxonomic level increases the effects of transformations become stronger, so although both taxonomic resolution and transformation affect the results of analyses, the effects of each are different and, to a large extent, unrelated. The highest correlations between matrices derived from measured environmental variables and biotic matrices are between environmental variables
related to drilling activity and mildly transformed family abundances, suggesting that analyses of higher taxonomic levels are more likely to reflect a contamination gradient than are analyses based on species abundances. Before
any general recommendations regarding taxonomic levels are given for future
macrobenthic surveys, there is an obvious need for studies of weak, intermediate and strong gradients in various types of contamination in homogeneous
and heterogeneous environments, using the same sampling and analysis
methods

Abstract: As part of the NERC North Sea Project (1987-1992), concentrations of fine suspended particulate matter were determined at over 100 locations on 15 monthly survey cruises. Each of these monthly data sets were interpolated to provide continuous ''synoptic'' representations over the southern
North Sea (south of 56 degrees N). Here, statistical techniques are used in
conjunction with numerical model simulations to interpret these data. Principal
Component Analysis is performed on these monthly series of observations to
locate statistically significant sources and sinks of suspended particulate matter. This analysis reveals the month-to-month variability of a primary source,
accounting for around 80% of the total variation in the observations, and located in the vicinity of The Wash estuary and adjacent coast. A numerical dispersion model is then developed to simulate the erosion, settling and transport
of fine suspended sediment from this source. The formulations and associated
coefficients used to describe re-erosion and settling rates are then fine-tuned
by comparison with observations. In the second part of this study, the sediment model developed is used to simulate dispersion from discrete sources.
Thence a Multiple Linear Regression technique, as described by McManus
and Prandle (1994) (in Marine Pollution Bulletin 28, 451-455), is used to fit
these modelled dispersion patterns to the original observations to determine
rates of sediment supply from these discrete sources. This technique reveals
that (i) riverine sources are not statistically significant and (ii) the East Anglian
sources are small in magnitude compared with the Dover Strait and northern
North Sea sources. Further analysis explains this apparent contradiction with
- 205 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
the first part of the study by illustrating how the longer effective flushing times
of the two coastal sources amplifies their net contribution to the suspended
particulate matter distribution in the southern North Sea. Estimates of mean
annual supply from the statistically significant sources (in 10(6) t) are Dover
Strait, 44.4, northern North Sea, 41.7, The Wash, 3.2, and Suffolk Coast, 0.7.
Comparable estimates published in the 1993 North Sea Quality Statics Report
(North Sea Task Force, Olsen and Olsen, Denmark) are generally in reasonable agreement. Likewise, both the location and rates of supply from the sources determined in this study are in broad agreement with the earlier estimates
of McCave (1987) (in Journal of the Geological Society 144, 149-152). Thus,
the success achieved provides encouragement towards the goal of developing robust suspended sediment models of shelf seas. (C) 1997 Elsevier

Abstract: Concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene and benzo[e]pyrene in the atmosphere as markers for the class of PAHs decreased by about 70% within
one decade in clean air as well as in industrially polluted areas of Germany
when measured with passive samplers (spruce sprouts, poplar and beech
leaves). The same trend has been found for East-Germany during 1991-1995.
Mussels (Mytilus edulis) were found to accumulate PAHs from the aquatic environment and exhibited a seasonal periodicity of the PAH concentration. After
an initial decline from 1985 to 1990, the PAH concentration remained constant
until 1995 in the North Sea area investigated. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: Twelve major industries in the Shuaiba Industrial Area of Kuwait

generate about 30,000 m(3)/d wastewater, which is discharged to the sea either directly or after treatment. To assess the quality of the Shuaiba bay area,
water samples were collected twice a week for six months from seven points
of discharge, each representing a source from a major industry. Samples were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics and toxicity using the Microtox
assay. Chemical analysis revealed that the contamination of oil was higher at
sites 5 and 6 while four heavy metals were evenly distributed at different sites.
The Microtox assay indicated that 31 samples out of 378 samples exerted
acute to medium levels of toxicity, which were mostly from sites 6 and 7. The
episodes of toxicity were greater in the summer months compared to winter
months, whereas the pattern of chemical contaminants was not influenced by
the seasonal change. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc

Abstract: Plastic debris accumulates in the marine environment following its
use in agricultural, industrial and social activities. Its ultimate fate is accomodation in sediments where it may persist for times up to centuries or longer.
There appears to be an increasing flux of materials with time and an increased areal coverage of the benthos. Impacts upon bottom organisms can take
many forms. Systematic monitoring tactics for the extent of seafloor coverage
by plastics are yet to be incorporated into national programs

Abstract: In order to save our environment from pollution, many techniques
are used for identifying oil accumulated on clams along the western coast of
the Red Sea. Gas chromatography (GC) infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrophotometry are three different techniques used to analyze the
collected samples, GC chromatograms for oil extracted from these animals indicate that the source of pollution is petroleum, and a few peak reveal a mixture of biogenic and petrogenic hydrocarbons. These results are confirmed by
the characteristic IR spectra profiles, high concentrations of the aromatic
compounds, and the UV absorption spectra of these samples

Abstract: A synthesis of the Literature on benthic responses to marine pollution suggests that macroinfaunal and meiofaunal communities exhibit repeatable patterns of response to sedimentary contamination generally detectable
at high taxonomic levels (even phylum). These responses appear to be jointly
driven by intrinsic physiological and ecological characteristics of higher taxa,
such that crustaceans (especially amphipods and harpacticoids) and echinoderms are sensitive to toxics whereas polychaetes, oligochaetes, and nematodes (especially non-selective deposit feeders) are enhanced by organic enrichment. Application of this model to the GOOMEX results implies involvement of both toxicity and organic enrichment. Results of toxicity tests and
comparisons of observed contaminant concentrations to known effects levels
imply that metals drive the toxicity response. We conclude that (1) long-lasting
effects of drilling activity exist in the sedimentary environment around gas
production platforms, (2) dual effects of toxicity and organic enrichment probably drive readily detectable responses in benthic meiofauna and macroinfauna to 100-200 m, and (3) the failure to detect evidence of exposure or sublethal impacts on fishes and most larger invertebrates is a joint consequence
of their mobility over the relevant scales of environmental change and their
negligible exposure to hydrocarbons and other contaminants

Abstract: The International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Go-operation, 1990 (OPRC Convention, 1990) came into force on
13 May 1995. The main objectives of the OPRC Convention are to facilitate
international co-operation and mutual assistance in preparing for and responding to a marine pollution incident and to encourage states to develop and
maintain adequate capability to deal credibly with oh pollution emergiencies.
The paper outlines and describes in some detail the strategy adopted by IMO
in the implementation of the OPRC Convention, the mechanisms established
to address/discuss issues of mutual concern amongst the member states of
IMO and the oil industry, and the various activities undertaken by IMO in cooperation with relevant sister UN organizations and the oh industry to assist
countries requiring assistance including the mobilization/provision of technical
assistance to countries on an individual basis. It is apparent that IMO's role as
a provider of technical advice and delivery of project assistance, as a coordinator for the mobilization of international assistance to major marine pollution incidents upon the request of countries in need, as a Forum for discussion/overseeing the implementation of the OPRC Convention (through tbe
meetings of the OPRC Working Group) including the development of marine
pollution preparedness and response training programmes is set to become
more important given its pro-active approach to promoting oil spill preparedness in co-operation with industry and governments. Copyright (C) 1996 International Organization

Abstract: An analytical process has been developed based on the selective
leaching of arsenobetaine from marine organisms with methanol/chloroform
(2:1) and on a subsequent pressurized digestion of the methanol phase with a
suitable acid combination (H2SO4/HNO3), followed by hydride generation
atomic absorption spectrometry fbr the arsenic determination. The method
has been successfully applied to the speciation of arsenobetaine and the digestion procedure allows the determination of total arsenic in the reference
materials, CRM-278, a mussel tissue and TORT-I, a lobster's hepatopancreas, proving its reliability. Besides, the technique developed was then applied to real marine organisms, such as the blue mussels and the marine
snails, Murex trunculus, a biomarker for marine pollution studies, all collected
from an industrial region near Athens, the Elevsis Bay. The main species
found in all investigated marine organisms was arsenobetaine, corresponding
to 87-100% of total arsenic

Abstract: Small, inconspicuous fragments of plastic, generally < 0.5 mm
across (i.e. microlitter) derived from some hand cleaners and cosmetic preparations, and also used with some airblast cleaning media, are an unusual addition to post-consumer waste entering marine waters. The environmental
significance of this material is unknown, but here is a further example of the
intrusion of anthropogenic waste of dubious value into marine ecosystems. It
could impact sea-surface microlayer ecosystems and the meiofauna of intertidal sediments. It is also speculated that these finely granulated plastics, once
dispersed through the oceanic water column, could prejudice the results of
some ambitious particulate carbon flux experiments as well as interfere with
elemental and mineralogic composition analyses of suspended particles. They
may also warrant attention when determining heavy metal concentrations in
contaminated fine-grained sediments of estuarine and harbour environments.

Abstract: Coral reefs are exposed to many anthropogenic stresses increasing
in impact and range, both on local and regional scales. The main ones discussed here are nutrient enrichment, sewage disposal, sedimentation, oilrelated pollution, metals and thermal pollution. The stress comprising the main
topic of this article, eutrophication, is examined from the point of view of its
physiological and ecological mechanisms of action, on a number of levels. Nutrient enrichment can introduce an imbalance in the exchange of nutrients
between the zooxanthellae and the host coral, it reduces light penetration to
the reef due to nutrient-stimulated phytoplankton growth, and, most harmful of
all, may bring about proliferation of seaweeds. The latter rapidly outgrow,
smother and eventually replace, the slow-growing coral reef, adapted to cope
with the low nutrient concentrations typical in tropical seas. Eutrophication
seldom takes place by itself. Sewage disposal invariably results in nutrient enrichment, but it also enriches the water with organic matter which stimulates
proliferation of oxygen-consuming microbes. These may kill corals and other
reef organisms, either directly by anoxia, or by related hydrogen sulfide production. Increased sediment deposition is in many cases associated with other human activities leading to eutrophication, such as deforestation and topsoil erosion. Realistically achievable goals to ensure conservation, and in some instances, rehabilitation of coral reefs are listed

Abstract: Disease development in flounder (Platichthys flesus) was studied
over a period of 3 years in three large mesocosms (40 m x 40 m x 3 m). Two
of the mesocosms contained clean sand and the third, sharing a common water circulation with one of the clean-sand mesocosms, was stocked with contaminated dredged spoil. In this way, one of the clean-sand mesocosms was
indirectly polluted via the water phase, and analysis of contaminant concentrations in sediments and flounder tissues showed that it had a status
intermediate between the other two. Random samples of the flounder
populations from the indirectly polluted and reference mesocosms were
examined every 2 months for epidermal diseases (lymphocystis, skin ulcers,
fin rot) and then released. In addition, every 6 months, random samples of fish
from all three mesocosms were sacrificed for histological and chemical
investigation. With regard to the development of epidermal disease, the
results showed little difference between the reference mesocosm and the
indirectly polluted mesocosm, with the exception that lymphocystis was
significantly elevated in the indirectly polluted mesocosm. Although pollution
may be a risk factor in the etiology of this disease, such a relationship would
probably be obscured under field conditions due to variation arising from other
factors. Histopathological analysis of the livers revealed in total four cases of
hepatocellular adenoma (1.5% of sampled populations) in fish from the
polluted mesocosms, the first occurring after 2.5 years of exposure in fish from
the indirectly polluted mesocosm. Furthermore, several other liver lesions,
including foci of cellular alteration and hydropic vacuolated lesions, developed
during the course of the experiment before tumor formation was apparent.
Prevalences of these conditions were very much lower in the reference
mesocosm than in the two polluted mesocosms. Densities of
melanomacrophage centers in the liver showed a similar trend. The findings
clearly indicate that long-term exposure to chemically contaminated dredged
spoil can induce liver neoplasia and other liver lesions in flounder at
contaminant levels comparable to those found in the natural environment

Abstract: The sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test is a widely used method
to detect chemically induced genetic damage. This method has been applied
in some aquatic species to monitor genetic pollutants in estuarine and marine
environments. Dose response to 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was investigated in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lmk. Experimental assays were carried out by incorporating 4, 10, 20 and 40 mu g ml(-1) BrdU in asynchronously growing mussel gill cell populations. SCE frequency was dose dependent
both for mussel cells labelled with BrdU for a first round of replication followed
by a second round without BrdU (24+36 h), and for mussel cells labelled with
BrdU for 2 consecutive rounds of replication (60 h). For every dose assayed,
significant differences in SCE frequencies were also found between these 2
kinds of BrdU treatments. The relationship between the duration of the BrdU
treatment and the frequency of SCEs was also investigated in M. galloprovincialis. We tested the effect of in vivo BrdU incorporation for either the first cell
cycle, or the first and second cell cycles in mussel gill cells. This paper shows
that SCE frequencies remain constant for the different BrdU exposures
(12+36, 12+48, 24+24, 24+36 and 36+24 h) assayed to obtain first cell cycle
labelling, but a striking increase was noted in BrdU treatments (48, 60, 72, 84
and 96 h) for 2 consecutive cycles of labelling. A monthly study of SCE frequencies occurring in 2 natural populations from NW Spain was also performed during 1993. Significant differences in the frequency of SCE were detected both between populations and among months in the mussel populations.

Abstract: The Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine
Environment from Land-based Activities (GPA) represents an ambitious attempt to make the leap between the rhetoric of protecting and preserving the
marine environment and action. With degradation of the marine environment
from land based activities posing one of the most serious threats to the quality
and productivity of the coastal and marine environment, the GPA can only be
viewed as a milestone rather than a destination, as so much work remains to
be done in this field. States supporting the GPA are entering the most challenging phase of the program, that of implementation. But the international
community in taking on this challenge is not without a few signposts. The failure of the Montreal Guidelines to be implemented, provides States with many
important lessons. This paper suggests that if the GPA is to have an impact
on the complex problem of land-based activities then several tasks need to be
grappled with. Substantial financial support needs to be generated, a proactive and cooperative secretariat established and the nexus between the GPA
and United Nations Environment Programme Regional Seas Programme
examined. The importance of people and training to the capacity building process needs to be recognised and a wider variety of stakeholders engaged in
the follow up phase. Pivotal to the aforementioned is the need to generate political will to address the problem, without which the GPA will become yet
another dusty volume on the bookshelf. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science

Abstract: In order to investigate potential links between marine pollution and
fish diseases, an epizootiological study was conducted in The Netherlands during 1983-89. This study concentrated on grossly identifiable diseases of
- 216 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
flounder Platichthys flesus. Flounder were found to be affected by the viral
skin disease lymphocystis and by skin ulcers probably of bacterial origin. Overall prevalences of these 2 diseases in fish greater than or equal to 2 yr old
were 14.3% end 2.8% respectively. Also notable was the presence of neoplastic nodules in the livers of 1.0% of the population, prevalences rising steeply with age and locally attaining values of up to 30% in 6+ yr old fish. Most of
the samples were collected in September when flounder are resident in inshore feeding areas. Using data from 9 sites, spatial and temporal (year-toyear) variation in disease occurrence was analysed statistically using loglinear models which incorporated possible effects of length, age and sex.
Year-to-year variation showed little correspondence among the 3 diseases,
but their spatial distributions showed striking similarities. Lymphocystis and
skin ulcers were associated in individual fish. The observed variation in disease prevalence showed no significant correlation with condition factor of the
fish or with concentrations of contaminants in sediments or tissues. However,
disease prevalences at different sites showed a strong positive correlation
with fishing activity (possibly indicating an effect of damage by fishing gear)
and appeared also to be positively related to salinity. When only strictly marine sites were considered, a relationship With pollution could not be ruled out.
Additional data collected in February-April at offshore sites indicated that disease prevalences were generally higher at this time of the year, which corresponds to the spawning period of the populations studied. This trend was
particularly pronounced for liver neoplasms, and might be partly related to a
low condition factor resulting from spawning activities. In view of the different
aetiologies of the 3 diseases, the similarities in spatial patterns indicate the
existence of 1 general underlying mechanism of disease causation, perhaps
acting through immunosuppressive effects. However, age-related migration
appeared to explain some aspects of the spatial pattern of liver neoplasms,
whereas it was less important in the case of epidermal diseases, which develop more rapidly. On the basis of the findings of this study, the possible contribution of pollution to disease prevalence cannot be adequately assessed due
to the interfering effects of other factors (salinity, fishing activity, migration and
spawning). Disease causation appears to be complex, and it may be that effects of pollution interact with those of other factors to produce observed spatial patterns

Abstract: This paper reports the detailed histopathological analysis of livers
- 217 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
of flounder Platichthys flesus sampled in Dutch coastal and estuarine waters
during 1985-89. In conjunction with an epizootiological study of grossly identifiable diseases st 10 sampling locations, a total of 210 livers (1 % of sampled
population) showing gross nodular lesions (diameter >2 mm) and 315 livers
showing no gross pathology were collected. Of the 210 livers with grossly observable nodules, 67 % were diagnosed as having neoplasms. The majority of
these neoplasms were identified as hepatocellular adenoma; 13.1 % were
diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma. Most of the remaining nodules were
diagnosed as foci of cellular alteration, which are considered to be preneoplastic lesions. Routine histopathological examination of livers showing no
gross pathology resulted in the identification of a range of lesions including
hepatocellular adenoma, foci of cellular alteration, hydropic vacuolization of biliary epithelial cells and hepatocytes, inflammatory lesions, focal necrosis, regenerative foci, and fibrillar hepatocytes of unknown significance. In addition,
indices were used to quantify the presence of storage vacuoles (glycogen and
lipid) and the relative density of melanomacrophage centres. The results indicate that a small proportion of neoplasms would be missed if only livers with
grossly detectable nodules were subjected to histological examination. The
prevalence of foci of cellular alteration at the different sampling sites showed a
good correspondence with that of neoplasms, providing support for the hypothesis that these conditions represent stages of the same process. Of the other
lesions and quantitative indices, only hydropic vacuolization of biliary epithelial
cells had a spatial distribution similar to that of neoplasms. It is concluded that
liver neoplasms and especially their precursor lesions in flounder are promising tools for monitoring exposure to potential carcinogens, provided that migration patterns are explicitly taken into account. Furthermore, experimental
studies are needed to investigate the chemical agents responsible for the onset of these early lesions and their progression into neoplasms, and also to
evaluate the contribution of other environmental and host-related factors

Abstract: The aim of this work is to describe changes in heavy metal concentrations in Ascophyllum nodosum from 1964 to 1994. Samples were collected
from three sites in the Firth of Clyde and analysed for zinc, manganese, iron,
copper, lead and nickel. The results were analysed using the multivariate
technique Principal Components Analysis (PCA). At the Wemyss Bay site there was a trend towards increasing lead and nickel over the study period, which
could not be accounted for by local industrial activity. At the Hunterston site,
two groups were well separated by the PCA ordination, based on manganese
and zinc concentrations, which corresponded to land reclamation activities in
the area. The separation of samples at the Ardneil Bay site correlated well
with copper concentration and this corresponded to the termination of industrial effluent with heavy copper loadings. Other changes in industrial effluent
- 218 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
were also reflected in the Hunterston and Ardneil Bay site ordinations. The
PCA technique highlighted the interplay between metals. The work demonstrated the potential for using multivariate analysis of seaweed metal concentrations in monitoring a posteriori the environmental impact of industrial change

Abstract: The paper highlights current developments within the International
Maritime Organisation and elsewhere in the UN system on a number of issues
on which corresponding requirements may be found in the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982, at the same time questioning as to
whether Parties to the latter fully realise that they have an obligation under
several articles of the convention to adopt laws and regulations which ''shall at
least have the same effect as that of generally accepted rules and standards
established through the competent international organisation or general diplomatic conference'', The first issue high-lighted In the paper, is the action taken by IMO to extend Port State Control to operational requirements under
the SOLAS 1974 and Marpol 73/78 Conventions, together with the steps taken to clarify and consolidate Port State Control procedures as contained in
IMO Assembly resolution A.787(19) adopted in November 1995. The second
issue highlighted, concerns current consideration, in particular within IMO and
the 1972 London Convention, relating to Article 208 of the UN Convention that
calls for the establishment, inter alia, of global rules, etc, to prevent, reduce
and control pollution arising from sea-bed activities subject to national jurisdiction. Thirdly, the paper refers to the Washington Declaration and Global Programme of Action adopted by the Intergovernmental Conference convened by
UNEP in Washington DC in October/November 1995, particularly the intention
of government representatives present at the conference to develop a global,
legally binding instrument in respect of persistent organic pollutants identified
in decision 18/32 of the Governing Council of UNEP, this being relevant to Article 207(4) of the UN Convention relating to land-based sources of marine pollution. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: The management of the Arafura and Timor Seas, which form a major part of the maritime boundary between Australia and Indonesia, is of significant economic and environmental importance to both countries. Information
available indicates that much of the marine environment in the region is in
near pristine condition. Increasing pressure is being placed on this environment through expanding shipping and fishing activity, urban and industrial development including mining, port expansion, oil and gas exploration and production, changing land use in catchments, and tourism, These activities are
affecting water and sediment quality, habitats and marine biodiversity, This
paper reviews the available information on marine pollution in the Arafura and
Timer Seas, including assessments based on physical, social and economic
features of the region, A number of proposals for maintaining the high quality
of this environment are presented, including a well planned monitoring program covering key points in the region and an expanded oceanographic information base which would provide an early indication of changing pollution
conditions. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: A Purge & Trap technique for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combined with GC-MS was applied to measure simultaneously concentrations of 13 C-1- and C-2-chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) and
monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs) down to the 1 ng/l level. It proved
to be impossible to reach this level working with an automated online apparatus because of two masons. First, the low reproducibility was caused by the
water vapour present in the gas stream after purging samples. The second
reason was the presence of unpredictable contamination. An off-line purge
system, however, combined with thermal desorption by means of the on-line
apparatus gave reproducible measurements (standard deviations from 2.6 to
15.7%). Contamination was lower than 0.76 ng/l for ail VOCs except for benzene, toluene and chloroform. The signal/noise ratio of three corresponded to
concentrations below 0.63 ng/l for all VOCs. In this way limits of detection
(LODs) of 0.48 (tetrachloroethylene) to 1.25 ng/l (o-xylene) were obtained, except for chloroform, benzene and toluene. Their LODs were 4.93, 4.79 and
2.68 ng/l because of the contamination. Precision and accuracy were deter-
- 220 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
mined. The long term reliability of the method was evaluated using analytical
quality control charts. In addition, sample treatment and storage were checked
by adding deuterated surrogates. Results of analysis of water samples taken
in the North Sea region and the Scheldt estuary illustrate the applicability of
the method. Target compounds were detected in concentrations from 0.5 to
100 ng/l

Abstract: The 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic
Treaty and its annexes contribute substantially to contemporary international
law prohibiting marine pollution, As the Protocol approaches obtaining the
number of ratifications necessary for entry into force, its relevance for international ocean law accordingly becomes more salient, Thus, measures in the
Protocol and its annexes take on particular importance, as they are made to
apply to all sources of pollution affecting the Southern Ocean ecosystem (i.e.,
sources from land, dumping, vessels, the atmosphere and the seabed), Such
an all-encompassing approach well serves to bolster both the normative and
policy framework for effecting antipollution marine law in the region. Copyright

Abstract: Analytical quality control procedures for ensuring reliable data in
the determination of PCBs in environmental matrices are described. Several
extraction procedures of PCBs from sediment samples are critically compared
and recovery and reproducibility for PCBs determination in sediment and cod
liver oil samples are evaluated. Extraction by 1:1 n-hexane/acetone mixture in
an ultrasonic bath and by supercritical fluids generally give a quantitative recovery and a coefficient of variation lower than 15%, while extraction by a
Soxhlet system does not give such good results and requires much longer extraction times. Certified reference materials available from three international
organizations, namely the Standards, Measurements and Testing programme
of the European Union, the USA National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Research Council of Canada were used. Finally, the ongoing European Union QUASIMEME programme aimed at improving the analytical quality of marine pollution monitoring measurements of European laboratories is addressed

Abstract: Ecotoxicological investigations were performed on three sets of
- 222 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
bioindicators. The first one concerns marine pollution of invertebrates (molluscs: the mussel Mytilus edulis and related species, crustaceans: the crab
Liocarcinus puber and related species), contaminated by stable or radioactive
elements originating from wastes discharged into sea water. The second one
concerns freshwater pollution of vertebrates (fish: the brown trout Salmo trutta
fario), contaminated by aluminium dissolved in rivers, as a consequence of an
atmospheric pollution by acid rain. The third one concerns the atmospheric
pollution of trees by plutonium (Casuarina equisetifolia). Mechanisms involved
in the uptake, storage and elimination processes of these toxicants were studied, with a special emphasis on cellular and subcellular aspects of
concentration sites. Two microanalytical methods were employed: Secondary
Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), using the ion microscope and the ion
microprobe, and X-ray spectrometry using the electron microprobe (EMP). In
marine organisms, the target organs and tissues of bioaccumulation of stable
and radioactive elements (U-238, Pu-239, and Am-241), were shown to be
mainly digestive gland, gill and exoskeleton. The target organelles were
shown to be spherocrystals and lysosomes. Amoebocytes, enzymatically
equipped with lysosomal phosphatase, were involved in the phagocytic
clearance of metal pollutants. In trout, insolubilisation of Al phosphate within
lysosomes and a high metal concentration within bones were observed. The
tree Casuarina equisetifolia exhibits a particular ability to concentrate
atmospheric plutonium within its leaves

Abstract: The study aims at the application of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)
data for detection and measurement of physical aspects of marine pollution in
the Thane creek region adjoining Bombay city and its suburbs. Collection of
marine water samples in the Thane creek region has been synchronised with
the satellite passes of Landsat. The water samples were analysed for turbidity, an important physical pollution parameter. An attempt has been made to
establish the relationship between the real time values of the marine pollution
parameter (turbidity in this case) analysed in the laboratory and the digital
counts (function of surface radiance) from the remotely sensed data using statistical technique. A two step approach has been followed to relate the TM data with the marine pollution parameter. The advantage df this methodology in
detection and measurement of turbidity is discussed

Abstract: This article reports some results of a study to enhance the effectiveness of a prospective protocol on land-based marine pollution (LBMP) in
the Wider Caribbean Region (WCR), which is under negotiation. We argue
that the environmental, economic, and institutional diversity of the region as a
whole suggests an incremental approach to international resolution of LBMP
problems, one that builds upon successful arrangements among States that
have appropriate incentives for solving transboundary or common pollution
problems, We report on two approaches to the identification of commonalities
and complementarities that can serve as the basis for subregional collaborations and exchanges, First, we consider the relative identities of WCR States
as polluters and pollutees within subregional groupings already designated by
a joint UNEP-IOC program. The analysis yields several illustrative examples
of key match-ups among source, stakeholder and facilitator States within and
across subregions. Second, we develop a rating system that reflects the size
and direction of a State's economic incentive to control LBMP and its economic and institutional capacity to do so. The results are useful for predicting
which States are the most likely to engage in sustained and effective action to
control LBMP and the general categories of assistance or special inducements that the other States are likely to need in order to participate successfully. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: This article reviews applications of remote sensing to the assessment of tropical coastal resources. These applications ave discussed in the
context of specific management objectives and sensors used. Remote sensing remains the only way to obtain synoptic data for large coastal areas uniformly in time and space, repeatedly and nonintrusively. Routine applications
to tropical coastal management include the mapping of littoral and shallow
marine habitats, change detection, bathymetry mapping, and the study of
suspended sediment plumes and coastal currents. The case studies reviewed
suggest that wider use of remote sensing in tropical coastal zone management is limited by (1) factors that affect data availability, such as cloud cover
and sensor specification; and (2) the problems that decision makers face in
selecting a remote sensing technique suitable to their project objectives. These problems arise from the difficulty in comparing the capabilities of different
sensors and the limited amount of published information available on practical
considerations, such as cost-effectiveness and accuracy assessments. The
latter are essential if management decisions are to be based upon the results

Abstract: Within the field of resource and environmental management, the
paramount value of a spatial analysis system is as a fool for regionalising a
case-area in diverse directed ways, each being useful for (i) increasing scientific understanding of that area (intellectualisation) or (ii) for allocating operational categories (for example, funding categories, regulatory categories) differentially between parts of the case-area (called operations support or policy
support). Success in serving these scientific and administrative values depends in turn upon two primary attributes of the spatial analysis system and a
larger number of secondary attributes. These primary attributes are (i) the
range and quality of geocoded data sets held in store or able to be accessed
and (ii) the range of spatial analysis techniques which can be called upon for
operating on stored data sets. Secondary attributes influencing a spatial analysis system's value include its accessibility to potential users, its ease of use,
the judgement and experience of its users and the quality of its cartographic
and other outputs. The present paper is a status report on the Australian
Coastal And Marine Resources Information System, CAMRIS, a spatial analysis system developed as a demonstration for Australia. CAMRIS contains or
can access raw and value-added data sets which comprehensively cover both
terrestrial and marine components of the Australian maritime estate. Onshore,
for the immediate coastal strip, data held or accessible include geocoded data
on vegetation, geology, landform, wetland and coastline type, land use, climate and population. For coastal drainage basins, data sets include river networks, river flows, wetland attributes, soils, geology, elevation, vegetation, mineral deposits, beach attributes, population,and bird distributions. Nearshore
data include geocoded data on estuary attributes, island attributes, seagrass

accessible include bathymetry, sea surface temperature and salinity/dissolved
oxygen profiles, together with a variety of geophysical records including gravity, magnetics, seismic track lines, substrates, waves, winds, storms, tides and
cyclones. While raw data are stored as such whenever available, many of
these data sets are in value-added form, held perhaps as a surface or choropleth or as a function of primary data items. A range of spatial analysis techniques is routinely available for application to CAMRIS data sets including those
within the SPANS, Are Info, and Idrisi geographic information systems, the S
Plus exploratory data analysis package, and specialist in-house packages
such as PATN for multivariate positive classification and LUPIS for resource
allocation and normative classification. CAMRIS demonstration studies in various stages of completion address: (1) selection of coastal and marine
protected areas; (2) identification of priority areas for the management of landbased marine pollution; (3) planning for coastal population growth; and (4) synoptic impacts of climatic change in the coastal zone. Further candidate studies being considered include mariculture prospects and proactive management of oil spills and leaks. An important indicator of success for the CAMRIS
project would be for it to be seen as a prototype for a properly-funded multiagency national maritime (coastal and marine) spatial analysis system Australia, with one of the worlds largest and most diverse maritime estates and with
a small population imposing increasing pressures on that estate, needs powerful policy and operations support tools

Abstract: The Mediterranean States adopted an action plan for the protection
of their common sea from pollution as early as 1975. This comprehensive action plan is not limited to monitoring of marine pollution but includes all aspects relevant to environment and development. It is coordinated from the Athens-based Centre but regional offices also exist being responsible for the
implementation of specific programmes. The scientific and technical component of the action plan (the MED POL programme) was the first one to be initiated involving more than 100 Mediterranean research and monitoring institutions. Selected results of the monitoring programme are presented shortly.
The following parameters are dealt with: mercury, cadmium, copper and zinc,
organohalogen compounds, organotins, organophosphorus compounds, herbicides and fungicides as well as synthetic persistent materials. The results
have shown that pollution in the Mediterranean sea is limited to coastal areas
where the sources, such as industries and population centres, are found. The
north-western Mediterranean has shown higher pollutant concentrations either
because of natural sources (case of mercury) or because of the industrial development of the region

Abstract: Under the terms of the 1976 Convention for the protection of the
Mediterranean Sea against pollution, and the 1980 Protocol for the protection
of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution from land-based sources, the
coastal states of the region have to develop criteria and standards for various
aspects of coastal water duality. These are being progressively developed
within the framework of the Mediterranean Action Plan, specifically within the
Long-term Programme of Pollution Monitoring and Research in the Mediterranean Sea (MED POL Phase II). The impact of specific Mediterranean ecological conditions on health and related risks arising from specific uses of the sea,
in relation to those risks arising from the same types of water use in regions
with different conditions, and the effects of such differences on quality requirements, are discussed. The current situation in the Mediterranean region regarding national and international legislation for ensuring coastal water duality
is described, together with the normal procedures for regional assessments of
the situation with regard to specific pollutants and the formulation of proposed
measures. The legal and technical problems involved in (a) the actual preparation of criteria and standards combining ecological and health requirements
with political acceptability and (b) their adoption by Mediterranean states are
described. These problems essentially arise out of the heterogeneous character of the states bordering the Mediterranean Sea, especially regarding the
state of existing infrastructures for pollution prevention and control, including
the availability of trained manpower and technical facilities, the degree of prio-

Abstract: Designs for sewerage, sewage treatment and effluent disposal prepared in the 1980's, included for marine disposal of secondary treated and disinfected effluent via a 1.5 km long sea outfall. A reappraisal of the scheme in
1990 reviewed allel alternative options with a view to reducing casts and utilising effluent. An economic comparison showed that effluent storage and irrigation was an attractive alternative to marine disposal. A scheme was designed whereby all effluent will be given secondary treatment, stored in reservoirs until required for irrigation, withdrawn through sand filters, disinfected
and pumped to an irrigation distribution system serving public amenity areas

Abstract: Standards have been used for many years as a tool to improve
quality. Recently, the lowering of trade barriers and the need for transfer of
technology have increased and widened the role of standardization and the international cooperation through it. Standardization programmes, both at the
national and international level, are now focused on the protection of health
and safety of the consumer and the environment. In the case of environmental
protection ISO, CEN and other organizations are working very hard to establish appropriate requirements. The Mediterranean Sea represents a special
example regarding marine pollution. Being a ''closed'' sea and at the same time the receptor of huge quantities of effluents from all kinds of human activities, the Mediterranean Sea (our sea) is already in danger! A series of Protocols and Conventions, already agreed on, provide the necessary basis for its
protection. However, problems still exist regarding the implementation of the
provisions of these documents. In this paper the way standards can contribute
to the protection of the environment and the Mediterranean in particular is
illustrated. The presentation also underlines the need to enhance international
cooperation and to promote versatile and efficient implementation mechanisms through it

Abstract: The rapid post war development of Hong Kong as a centre of popu-
- 229 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
lation, industry and commerce far outstripped the provision of sewers, wastewater treatment and disposal facilities. A legacy of marine pollution remains;
the Government is now addressing this problem through the implementation
of an ambitious sewage strategy. At the core of the strategy lies a major sewerage programme and the construction of new sewage treatment plants and
marine disposal outfalls. The authors outline the background to recent sewerage and related infrastructure development in Hong Kong and discuss the
scope and role of an outfall performance verification monitoring programme.
This monitoring programme also is intended to identify the need for future improvements to the system in order to ensure that statutory Water Quality Objectives can be achieved and maintained. This work is seen as an essential
element in the strategy for providing a cost effective treatment and disposal
system. The early stages of a programme to measure the effects of major sewage outfalls on coastal waters is described. Initial work in the north-west
New Territories of Hong Kong has focused on understanding the dilution and
dispersion of sewage plumes. Ongoing and recently completed plume tracking
work, which has made use of innovative tools such as radio-isotope tracers,
dye fluorescence, ADCP and other water quality sensors multiplexed to three
dimensional positional recording systems is reviewed. The subsequent interpretation of these results and their value in assessing outfall performance is
considered. The success of this work is discussed and the lessons for future
monitoring programmes are identified. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract: A rapid and efficient 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) colorimetric method
without any cleanup step to determine total phenols in seawater is described.
Efficiency of the method for seawater using external addition of phenol concentrations with working range of 5-100 mu g.l(-1) is 86.7-102.9%. Efficiency
at the lowest detection limit of 1 mu g.l(-1) 1 is 81.5 +/- 18.5%. Efficiency of 4AAP with distillation method is comparatively low. Several water samples from
Ulhas estuary having salinity in 5.3-35.8 ppt range were analysed to evaluate
suitability of the method for pollution monitoring programme. The method is
found to be rapid, convenient and efficient for analysing coastal and estuarine
water samples during a marine pollution monitoring programme

Abstract: Two phagocytes-mediated activities of the sea bass Dicentrarchus
labrax were examined after exposure to sublethal concentrations of copper
and cadmium: (a) phagocytosis (measured by phagocytotic index), and (b) the
production of reactive oxygen intermediates (luminol-dependent chemiluminescence) in response to bacteria Aeromonas salmonicida. In vivo exposure
for 48 h to each metal separately by intraperitoneal injection did not affect the
quantity of phagocytes of pronephros and their viability but inhibited, in dosedependent manner, phagocytosis and chemiluminescence of these cells. The
half-inhibition value was 250 mu gkg(-1) for copper and 1 mgkg(-1) for cadmium. In vitro exposure to copper for 30 min had the same immunomodulatory effect on macrophage chemiluminescence as that observed in vivo, whereas treatment with cadmium under the same conditions had a dosedependent effect opposite to that observed in vivo. Assessement of these two
macrophage-mediated functions could therefore be used as early bioindicators of the marine pollution

Abstract: The continued availability of some marine resources is threatened
by the increased fluxes to the oceans of identifiable and measurable collections of pollutants, which include plant nutrients, plastics, environmental oestrogens, and organisms contained in ship-ballast waters, Characteristic of these societal discards that will guide research progress are long residence times; slow accumulation rates; increasing fluxes with time; and dissemination
over large areas, The resolution of these problems will require data collections
over decadal time-scales, Finally, some classical and some perceived marine
pollution problems, such as those involving specific metals, can now be discontinued in the face of the absence of unacceptable impacts on living organisms

Abstract: The urban area of Hong Kong supports a population of about 4 million people, with an annual production of several hundred million tonnes of
untreated domestic and industrial effluent. This causes significant marine pollution problems in Victoria Harbour. Moreover, urban runoff also brings pollutants to Victoria Harbour, This paper presents preliminary data on the concentrations of heavy metals from different parts of the rabbitfish (Siganus oramin)
taken from Hung Hem, Wan Chai and the Central Ferry Pier, close to urban
and sewage outfalls in Victoria Harbour, from June to September 1983, Metal
concentrations in the seawaters and from the gills, viscera, vertebrae and
muscle were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Concentrations of copper, zinc and lead in the muscle were found to be the lowest in the
muscle as compared with other parts of the body (cadmium concentrations
were similar in muscle and viscera), but concentrations were nevertheless still
high (mean+/-SD, dry weight): 5.7+/-4.0 ppm for copper, 66.6+/-31.8 ppm for
zinc, 3.3+/-1.1 ppm for cadmium and 19.1+/-6.3 ppm for lead, Cadmium and
lead concentrations in the rabbitfish samples of this study were significantly
higher than those previously reported in fish from the nearby Pearl River estuary

Abstract: DNA strand breaks in seastars and dab were measured by the time-dependent partial alkaline unwinding of DNA followed by the determination of the double-stranded to total DNA ratio (F-value), Highest DNA integrity
(0.75 < F < 0.85) was found in seastars from offshore reference sites, whereas lowest integrity (0.35 < F < 0.55) was identified in specimens from the
coastal zone and certain expected uncontaminated offshore areas. A significant correlation existed between the fraction of double-stranded DNA and the
concentration of low chlorinated biphenyl congeners and with H atoms substituted in the meta and para position of the biphenyl skeleton, Over 90% of
double-stranded DNA was measured in dab obtained from pristine areas, with
an average F-value in specimens from most sampling stations varying from
0.75 to 0.85, during August/September 1991. Samples taken in May/June
1992 showed significantly lower DNA integrity (0.55 < F < 0.70 in most stations). A significant decrease of the integrity was established with increase in
concentration of the congeners (tri to hepta chloro substituted and with or without a H atom substituted in the meta and para position)

Abstract: pollution is a problem in the North Sea. Important sources of oil pollution are spills and drill cutting. Echinoderms are a major component of the
macrobenthos in the North Sea (and elsewhere). They tend to be very sensitive to various types of marine pollution, Many species of echinoderms contain
symbiotic sub-cuticular bacteria (SCB). The response of Amphiura filiformis,
A., chiajei and Ophiothrix fragilis, all of which contain SCB, to oil pollution was
studied in laboratory experiments, mesocosms and in the field. Sublethal
stress was monitored by examining changes in the tissue loading of SCB.
When subjected to hydrocarbon insult, there was a decline in the number of
SCB. The potential use of SCB abundance to detect sublethal stress is discussed

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the perception of harbor residents on tourism and waterfront redevelopments in Newport, Rhode Island.
In the summer of 1992, about 160 surveys were conducted of households located directly in the tourism district. The results indicate that by and large the
waterfront community perceives the current traffic conditions, inadequate parking, lack of privacy, and commercial intrusion into neighborhoods to be the
consequences of increased tourism. Negative attitudes towards waterfront renewal are associated with perceived difficulties in having access to the water,
lack of affordable housing, continued marine pollution, and the proliferation of
non-water-dependent uses in the harbor. Conversely, several favorable reactions raised by residents included increased property values, successful historic preservation, and the participation in tourist-related events and amenities.
Despite their geographic proximity to the business district, the development
activities on the waterfront and the opportunities generated by tourism, few
residents feel they have benefited economically from these advantages. Currently, the political climate in Newport is such that a comprehensive harbor
management plan can become a reality. It is hoped that residents will then
have an opportunity to incorporate their issues into policies of the plan

Abstract: Marmaris is a tourist city on the South-west Coast of Turkey. A sewage disposal project for Marmaris with an estimated population of 39,000
(excluding the temporary tourist population) for the year 2012, was completed
in 1982. The sewage disposal system consisted of wastewater collection,
treatment and deep sea discharge. The length of discharge pipe was determined as 520 m and a diffuser was placed 20 m below the sea level, so that the
total coliform concentration at the protection zone boundary could be less than
1000/100 ml. Following the approval of the project a wastewater collection
and marine disposal system was constructed. The material of the discharge
pipe was selected as glass reinforced plastic (GRP). The pipe was buried up
to a point 10 m below sea level so that effects of hydrodynamic forces would
be minimized. After that point, the pipe was supported at some location by
grout bags due to the uneven sea bed. A few years later, it was recognized
that the discharge pipe was broken. The fragile GRP material had fractured as
a result of the sliding of some of the supports with resultant free spanning
conditions. As a result, the pipe had broken at one point. Although the breakage was repaired recent data have shown that the water quality in Marmaris
Bay has a tendency to be worsening; consequently, adding biological treatment units to the present system is advisable

is to think in terms of establishment of a community on an artificial island. It follows from this definition that system boundaries can be drawn, and environmental considerations emanating from the existence of that community, can
be be reasonably and rationally contemplated. For the purpose of this lecture,
environmental protection is considered under the following headings: purpose
of the community; management of waster; energy needs; transport needs;
and conservation of the natural habitat. Taking as a starting point the obligation under Article 208 of UNCLOS, 1982 that coastal States shall adopt laws
and regulations to prevent, reduce and control pollution of the marine environment arising from artificial islands under their jurisdiction, the lecture draws
upon the experience of the maritime community in regulating ship-generated
marine pollution as a pointer to ways in which Ocean Cities may deal with similar problems

Abstract: United States government and civilian vessels and aircraft annually
deploy tens of thousands of expendable marine instruments into the world's
oceans. The instruments may be active for a only few minutes or as long as
several years, but once they cease operation they sink to the ocean floor. The
devices are essential to collecting data about the water column for use in naval operations, oceanographic and scientific research, and commercial ocean
industry, and to promoting safe navigation. With burgeoning worldwide environmental awareness and tightening of environmental rules, questions naturally arise about the legality of the practice under U.S. and international law.
This article suggests thar the practice is problematic under U.S. environmental
law. Perhaps more important, under the international law of the sea, coastal
stares are beginning to assert jurisdiction over the practice as far as 200 nautical miles from their coastlines. This trend already regulates oceanographic
deployment of expendable marine instruments and promises to impinge on
naval deployment of the devices as well

Abstract: Marine pollution associated with shipping accidents has resulted in
a Congressional mandate for double hulls on tankers in U.S. waters. In this
paper, we formulate a social planner's problem using optimal control theory to
examine the relative cost-effectiveness of double hulls and alternative pollution retention technologies, and the optimal installation strategy for such technologies. The model encompasses the costs and benefits associated with
shipping operations, damage to the marine environment, and investment in
each technology. A computer simulation of the model is used to evaluate investment strategies for two technological options: double hulls and electronic
chart systems. Results indicate that electronic charts may be a far more costeffective approach to marine pollution control

Abstract: All phases of the New Zealand petroleum industry (exploration production, transportation, storage and distribution) are governed by various
overlapping, if not conflicting, pieces of legislation. The separate treatment of
petroleum under the Crown Minerals Act 1991 was a recognition that ownership and grants of right to mineral resources was a function of government that
is distinct from protection of the environment. Nevertheless, the Resource
Management Act 1991 is the central statute which co-ordinates conditions for
prevention of marine pollution under the Marine Safety Authorities Act, Dangerous Goods Act, and the proposed Hazardous Substances and New Organisms legislation. On-the-ground compliance has largely been delegated to
local authorities. The adoption of regional and district plans recognising petroleum exploration and production as a permitted activity subject to resource
consent requirements presents the opportunity for the New Zealand petroleum
industry to put forward a code of practice that integrates a system of compliance to meet many, if not all, statutory requirements and ease the administration of this legislation by focal authorities

Abstract: Media coverage of 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in US coastal waters
enhanced public awareness of marine pollution and made Alaskan natural resources valuable for more individuals. Consequently, political pressures led
the US Congress to enact comprehensive legislation - the Oil Pollution Act of
1990 (OPA90), with the aim of reducing the number and the volume of accidental oil spills and also minimizing damage to marine and coastal natural resources. A methodology is proposed which incorporates the impact of oil pollution regulations, public awareness, navigational risk and oil spills on the
cost of oil transfer to maritime industry. Estimated benefit-cast ratios of OPA90
regulations such as the double hull requirement and vessel response plans
are found to be less than one even when natural resources are valued at postExxon Valdez levels

Abstract: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is used as a specific biomarker of the
effects of organophosphorous (OF) and carbamate (C) insecticides on the
coastal marine environment. Studies of mixtures (by pairs) of five of these
substances showed cumulative, synergistic inhibitory effects in all cases. The
strongest synergy was observed in organophosphate-carbamate mixtures
(OP-C) and the least in mixtures of substances of the same type (OP-OP, CC). The intensity of the synergistic effect was directly related to the length of
time the enzyme was incubated with the inhibitory mixtures. Among the major
organic contaminants of the marine environment, DDT and lindane (organochlorines), as well as atrazine and isoproturon, are not AChE inhibitors and had
no effect on the inhibitory action of the OP and C insecticides tested. Among
contaminants of metallic origin, zinc chloride, cadmium chloride, tributyltin
chloride and methylmercury did not inhibit AChE at the concentrations measured in the different marine compartments (water, sediment, living matter).
Mercuric chloride and arsenite had a weak inhibitory action in certain organisms. Zinc chloride, cadmium chloride and arsenic enhanced the inhibitory
effects of some OP and C insecticides. The dragonet (Callionymus lyra) proved to be a particularly sensitive target species for monitoring pollutant effects

Abstract: Direct detection of fecal coliforms as indicators of fecal pollution
may assess water quality more accurately than culture methods. An immunochemical technique involving the use of specific antibodies was applied in addition to plate counts to evaluate Escherichia coli in seawater samples from
different coastal areas in southern Italy. The immunofluorescent method showed high specificity for enteropathogenic E. coli although the presence of a
threshold value of 10(2) cell/100 ml sets a lower limit to the possibility of applying this method. It proved to be a rapid screening method to distinguish between polluted and unpolluted areas

Abstract: Modern oceanic policies have begun to embrace the precautionary
principle in regime formation. The debate as to the usefulness of the doctrine
is voluminous and invariably centers around its dubious potential as an effective international policy tool. The debate appears irreversibly polarized and reflects the misunderstanding many scholars and policymakers have when confronted with new environmental doctrines: lost in the debate over attempting to
''define'' the precautionary principle is the question of ''why'' the doctrine figures prominently in today's international community. With a clearer understanding of the theoretical foundations of the precautionary principle, future ocea-
- 241 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
nic regimes will apply the doctrine with a fuller appreciation as to what it is
subtly signifying-a change in the international ethical order. Initially such
changes within international policy processes are indiscernible, yet when recognized they prove to have profound implications for the future of international management regimes

Abstract: This paper argues that economics can provide an insight into the
causes of marine pollution, as well as offering a framework for designing regulatory instruments by which pollution can be reduced. Disenchantment with
'command and control' approaches is contrasted with growing interest in economic approaches to pollution control, and the paper then goes on to examine
the pro-active stance to environmental affairs now being taken by certain
firms. While this more responsible attitude by business is to be welcomed, the
paper concludes with the assertion that corporate environmentalism can never
be a perfect substitute for government intervention in the management of the
marine environment

was Cr>Ni>Co. The two seaweeds bioaccumulated similar metal concentrations. The seasonal variation of metals in the two algae was not significant,
but seemed to depend on the growth dynamics, the age of the tissue, the metal concentrations in the environment and the abiotic factors (such as salinity
and temperature). Only Cr concentrations in E. linza showed significant local
variation which depended on the area into which the industrial and domestic
wastes were discharged and on their transport by sea currents. Nickel and
chromium concentrations in U. rigida and Cr concentrations in E. linza displayed significant positive correlation with their concentrations in the seawater.
Concentrations of the three metals in the seaweeds and seawater of Thermaikos Gulf generally exceeded rite 'background' levels

Abstract: This is the first documentation of a heat shock protein (hsp) response in sponges. Subjecting the freshwater sponge Ephydatia fluviatilis to
temperature stress (18 degrees to 33 degrees C; 2 h) resulted in an increased
expression (> 10 times) of the M(r) 70,000 (hsp70). The induction of hsp70
could be demonstrated on the level of gene expression and by quantification
of the hsp70 protein. Temperature stress also resulted in a 25% reduction of
sponge cell proliferation. A mixture of nonionic organic compounds was extracted from water from the polluted Schwarzbach River (S. Hesse, Germany)
by adsorption onto XAD-7 resin. Concentrations of this Schwarzbach River
water extract at two and four times ambient levels resulted in decreases in cell
proliferation by 53.6 and 99.4%, respectively. However, when cells were exposed to these levels of the Schwarzbach River water extract directly following a temperature stress (33 degrees C for 2 h), cell proliferation was less affected by the extract than the absence of the temperature stress. In addition,
the combination of temperature stress and exposure to the Schwarzbach River water extract resulted in higher levels of hsp70 than were observed for
each stressor by itself. Northern and Western blotting as well as precipitation
assays confirmed the interaction between heat treatment and exposure to different amounts of nonionic organic pollutants on the level of mRNA and protein expression of hsp70. From these data we conclude that a sublethal
treatment of sponges with heat results in a higher tolerance of the animals to
chemical stressors. These results are relevant to the real-world situation where organisms are often exposed simultaneously to a variety of stressors, in

Abstract: National governments have greater legislative authority than local
governments in marine environmental protection, on the global basis, but local
governments both invest more money than national governments in environmental protection and often execute more environmental policies, When national governments have established regional marine resources management
programmes, e.g, the Baltic, the Mediterranean, or the Great Lakes region,
the final remediation planning responsibility has ultimately been delegated to
local authorities. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 did not consider this dichotomy
and the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) and a
coalition of other local government associations are considered to have a role
within the two sectors, national governments and nongovernmental organizations, Chapter 17 of Agenda 21 on Protection of the Oceans gives little attention to the primary role presently being played by the local authorities in controlling marine pollution, Chapter 17 states that 70% of the marine pollution
comes from land-based sources, and that more than half of the world's population is settled in coastal communities, But the Chapter does not present the
fact that local authorities are the primary force in organizing and managing the
coastal settlements concerning the greatest sources of marine pollution. The
role of local authorities in Agenda 21 and the partnership between the international community and local authorities to achieve Agenda 21 objectives must
be defined

Abstract: The sea covers 70% of the Earth's surface and plays a fundamental
role in the global ecosystem, In order to safeguard it effectively, action must
be taken at many levels, by many users in many different areas, This paper
- 244 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
will focus on the European Communities' policies for dealing with marine pollution, It discusses the case for joint action and describes how international,
co-ordinated action can be most effectively enforced. Protecting the marine
environment by carefully regulating the activities of all users will require effective but realistic policies that can be monitored and enforced. It is necessary to
consider shipping, the fishery industry, tourism and many other industries, to
see where changes may be required. At the same time, it should be remembered that 80% of marine pollution derives from land-based sources. A holistic
approach to environmental policy-making is therefore necessary in order to
provide a cleaner marine environment

Abstract: The Antarctic is a pristine frozen wasteland and a delicate ecosystem. To preserve and protect this region, certain states have committed themselves to a legal regime that performs ''preclusive restoration.'' This regime
pursues a purposeful strategy that aims at revitalization and restoration of the
Antarctic environment bu implementing norms to prevent degradation and depletion of the Antarctic ecosystem and its resources, A series of international
agreements have been carefully crafted by these states to implement this
strategy. Thus far, preclusive restoration has operated successfully, If is protecting and conserving Antarctic flora and fauna, seals and other living marine
resources in the circumpolar seas, and the Antarctic environment in general.
Most recently, preclusive restoration has been evidenced in the rejection of a
negotiated Antarctic minerals regime, a 50-year ban placed on the exploitation
of mineral and hydrocarbon resources in the region, and the adoption of measures to control marine pollution, manage waste disposal, furnish environmental impact statements, and prefect special areas

Abstract: The use of hepatic 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity
in flounder (Platichthys flesus) as a potential biomarker of marine pollution by
organic chemicals (as indicated by hepatic PCB-153 concentration) was investigated in the Dutch Wadden Sea in 1989 and 1990. Particular attention
was paid to the seasonal variation. The results indicate that EROD activity
- 246 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
was reasonably stable during the year, except for a period in JanuaryFebruary when a marked peak occurred. This peak coincided with the absence of mature flounder from the sampling area probably due to the spawning
migration. Generally a good relationship existed between hepatic EROD activity and PCB-153 concentration, with one exception. During the period January-April 1990 a peak in PCB-153 concentration occurred immediately after the
observed peak in EROD activity. It is concluded that the best period for monitoring EROD activity in flounder is the summer, corresponding to the nonmigratory period of the species

Abstract: This article describes the United Nations' Regional Seas Programme in terms of ifs basic structure, goals, and current status, discusses alternative approaches to determine program effectiveness; and presents a processrelated evaluation of the program. The paper analyzes and critiques the effectiveness of the Regional Seas Programme based on the five program goals
described in each regional action plan: environmental assessment, environmental management, environmental legislation, and institutional and financial
arrangements. The analysis shows that the Regional Seas Programme has a
record of substantial programmatic achievements to address regional marine
pollution issues. However, the process evaluation does point out some weaknesses in the overall program including: difficulty in characterizing environmental problems, the narrow focus of environmental management programs
and protocols, and inadequate funding by participating states. Finally, at this

zed silicone rubber composite insulators that were exposed to service for
three, nine and eleven years under industrial or marine pollution conditions.
Wetting angles and thermally stimulated depolarization (TSD) current spectra
were measured. Microscopic observations of selected insulator surfaces were
carried out as well. The prolonged services cause gradual and inhomogeneous losses of hydrophobicity on surfaces and inside of insulator housing
materials. It is shown that there exists a correlation between the measured
TSD current spectra and the wettability changes. In addition, the spectra also
allow to predict art ability to support a process of hydrophobicity recovery at a
housing surface. It seems that TSD measurements may be applied as a complementary test method during performance assessment of silicone rubber
composite insulators

Abstract: During the period from March 1990 to November 1991, the distribution of Po-210 activity in fucus vesiculosus and Mytilus edulis was studied in
the Seine estuary as well as at some other stations outside the estuary. The
estuarine zone of the Seine is the site of industrial releases of phosphatic
gypsum waste. In Mytilus edulis, activities range from 90 to 700 Bq kg(-1) dry
wt., whereas Fucus vesiculosus yields values of 3-22 Bq kg(-1). The distribution of Po-210 activity indicates the existence of significant geographical zonation in both of these species, as well as some seasonal fluctuations involving
the mussels at certain stations. The factors influencing these distributions are
discussed, including the ecological and physicochemical parameters of the
system

Abstract: The Australian marine fish, sand flathead (Platycephalus bassensis), were exposed to the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixture Aroclor 1254
by intraperitoneal injections of 10, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg in corn oil. Cytochrome P450 content, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD), ethoxyresorufin
O-deethylase (EROD) and uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activities were measured to quantify liver detoxication enzyme response.
The type and amount of metabolised PCBs in the bile were quantified by gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry. EROD activity increased in a dosedependent manner. At the 400 mg/kg dose, EROD activity was 2.64 +/- 0.34
nmol/min per g liver (0.07 +/- 0.01 nmol/min per mg protein), approximately 5
times control levels (P < 0.05). UDP-GT activity at 400 mg/kg was 63.99 +/8.69 U/g liver (1.53 +/- 0.29 U/mg protein), an increase of 75% above control
levels. Protein content of the liver increased 1.5-fold to 41.25 +/- 2.52 mg/g liver and cytochrome P450 content increased 1.8-fold to 6.82 +/- 0.91 nmol/g
liver. No differences with treatment were seen in ECOD activity. Metabolised
PCBs excreted in the bile were hydroxylated and conjugated with glucuronic
acid or sulphate, and the increases in production of biliary metabolites paralleled the increases in total liver EROD activity. These results indicate that
EROD and UDP-GT activities and biliary metabolites are sensitive biomarkers
of exposure and that sand flathead represents an appropriate fish for use in
further biomonitoring work

Abstract: During a survey from 26 August through 13 September 1991, specimens of the flatfish, Limanda limanda (dab), and the asteroid echinoderm,
Asterias rubens (seastar), were collected at sampling locations along transects radiating into the North Sea from the coastal zone of The Netherlands.
In homogenates of liver tissue from male dab and the digestive gland (pyloric
caeca) of female seastar, DNA damage (strand breaks) and induction of the
cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase system (MO) were determined.
Areas could be described with significantly increased percentages of strand
breaks (lower integrity) both in dab and seastar. However, enhanced DNA
strand breaks did not correspond with contamination gradients, expressed as
concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or polyaromatic hydrocarbons. MO enzyme induction in the hepatic 13,000g fraction of male dab, measured as 7-ethoxyresorulin-O-deethylase activity, was significantly enhanced
in response to low ambient temperatures. Some evidence was found for the
facilitation of benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activity expressing the enzyme induction in the microsomal fraction of pyloric caeca of seastars, at increasing
PCB concentrations. DNA integrity and enzyme induction elucidate the
physiologic status and might be indicative for ambient impairment within
restricted areas, and not necessarily related to the presence of anthropogenic
or xenobiotic substances

Abstract: Marine pollution events have most often been identified by a catastrophe as opposed to rational scientific deduction. Herein I examine three instances where alterations to the marine environment may result in a loss of resources, either public health or the structure of marine ecosystems: the entry
of biostimulants leading to eutrophication; the entry of artificial radionuclides;
and the entry of plastics. The introduced materials are increasing in flux, have
long residence times, and have known impacts upon living systems

Abstract: Visual surveys of large debris items and neuston net tows of small
particulate pollution (including tar) were conducted in the mouth of the submarine canyon known as the Gully-200 km east of mainland Nova Scotia, Canada. Censuses were also performed in surrounding areas. Densities of three
types of pollution in the Gully were calculated and compared to those found in
surrounding areas and to those reported in recent literature from other areas
of the world. The Gully had higher average densities of small and large debris
but a lower average density of tar compared to surrounding areas. Due to limitations in the sampling technique, statistical comparisons were not possible.
The density of large debris was greater in the Gully than in all but one other
study while the density of small debris was less than most other studies. Density of tar was comparable to that found in other areas

Abstract: Variations in the occurrence of gastrointestinal metazoan parasites
in flatfish were examined in relation to sewage sludge dumping at an 'accumulating' and two 'dispersing' dump sites in Scottish coastal waters. The gross
disturbance of the benthic communities at the Garroch Head disposal site in
the Firth of Clyde and absence of the intermediate hosts of particular parasites was not reflected in the parasite fauna of the long rough dab, Hippoglossoides platessoides. Results indicate that this flatfish host is highly mobile and
intermixing within the population masked any localized effects of sludge dumping on parasite transmission at the dump site. The common dab, Limanda
limanda, is considered to be relatively static at the St Abb's Head and Bell
Rock disposal sites off the Firth of Forth where no evidence of effects of sewage sludge dumping on its metazoan parasite fauna was detected. This is
consistent with the results of chemical and biological monitoring of the sites.
The value of a parasite-based index of the biological effects of sewage sludge
dumping is discussed

Abstract: Variable levels of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons were measured in clams (Laternula elliptica) collected from McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.
Clams collected in and near Winter Quarters Bay contained high levels of organochlorine compounds, particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). A
strong gradient has been documented in Winter Quarters Bay that been linked
to human activities at McMurdo Station. The activity of clam extracts as inducers of P4501A1-dependent ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity
was determined using in vitro bioassays utilizing rat hepatoma H4IIE cells.
The extracts which exhibited the highest induction activities were those derived from clams collected in contaminated areas. Additionally, there was an
excellent linear correlation between induced EROD activity versus total PCB
levels (r2=0.96) The complimentary nature of both the analytical and bioanalytical data confirms the utility of the latter assay and provides a method for estimating the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) toxic equivalents in

Abstract: At the 1993 joint meeting of the Oslo and Paris Commissions for
the prevention of marine pollution in the North-East Atlantic, a reorganization
of the Commission's scientific and technical advisory groups was decided
upon. Addressing the background for this reorganization and the general functioning of the PARCON scientific-political complex so far, this article concludes
that the PARCON organizational approach, with a strong national/administrative flavour in the scientific/technical work, has seemingly functioned quite well so far. But the closer cooperation with the more 'independent'
ICES signalled in the reorganization may also be interpreted as an awareness
of the fundamental legitimacy problems related to such an 'administrative'
science-politics model

Abstract: Developments in international agreements, codes and other instruments since the late 1980s suggest major changes in approaching the control of marine pollution compared to those of a decade earlier. The conclusion
of international agreements such as the OPRC Convention, revised Oslo/Paris Conventions and decisions taken in the London Dumping Convention,
North Sea Ministerial Conference, International Maritime Organisation and other fora are in part based on revised concepts of pollution, environmental damage and management. The changing approach can be seen in the development of concepts such as precautionary action, best available technology,
translocation and environmental restoration. Furthermore these ideas are increasingly reflected in coastal zone measures such as contingency planning,
oil spill response, vessel traffic regulation, management and other coastal regulations. Enhanced interest in integrated planning, safety and environmental
management in port and coastal areas has revived interest in institutional
arrangements and highlighted the need for improved information systems to
implement international standards and agreements effectively

Abstract: There exists a significant problem of marine pollution in the Commonwealth of Australia. The present paper attempts to explore three aspects
of this problem: the scientific, legislative, and probative. With respect to the
scientific, the kinds (eg hydrocarbons, toxic metals, and viruses and bacteria)
and sources (eg ship-source and dumping) of marine pollution are examined.
With respect to the legislative, the Offshore Constitutional Settlement 1979, as
well as relevant Commonwealth and state (Victoria and New South Wales) legislation are studied. Finally with respect to the probative, three solutions in-

powers of the Commonwealth and states under this same constitution

Abstract: Following the grounding of the tanker Braer numerical model predictions of the movement of spilled oil were made available to several organizations including Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), the Marine Pollution Control Unit (MPCU) and The Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department (SOAFD). Two numerical models from different sources were employed.
Both failed at the time to predict the fate of oil as revealed by field observations. This paper describes the hydrograpby of the area where the Braer disaster occurred and reviews some of the numerical modelling efforts that took
place during the days following tbe spill. It describes simple models of advection and mixing which, in conjunction with observations of oil distribution, reproduce what is now believed to be the fate of the Braer oil. Finally the paper
considers the developments required to improve the modelling of similar incidents in the future

Abstract: This article discusses some of the tasks States are confronted with
in implementing Agenda 21's paragraphs on sea-based marine pollution. As
regards substantive issues, Agenda 21 does not add very much to what has
been happening anyway. In other respects the imperatives of Agenda 21 cannot simply be ignored. The policy of IMO and most conventions administered
by it should be readjusted in view of the imperatives of Agenda 21, in particular with regard to the integration of developing States in the regime and the
improvement of the enforcement of the regime for sea-based marine pollution

Abstract: Land-based sources of marine pollution and other activities degrading the marine environment are among the most intractable environmental
problems of today because they involve so many essential and widespread
human activities. Over 20 years of regional conventions, international guidelines and control efforts have not resolved the problem. This was taken up as a
major issue in UNCED, which emphasized a national and regional approach
closely associated with integrated coastal area management. A follow-up intergovernmental meeting is planned for 1995, but other measures will also be
needed at all levels. Integrated coastal area management is the key to a successful approach to this difficult problem, especially since available financial
assistance is inadequate. The small island developing States are a special
case featured in Agenda 21 which are also the topic of a follow-up conference. The islands may be able to demonstrate approaches to small-scale integrated management and sustainable development that could serve as a model for larger countries

Abstract: The Commission of the European Communities has been actively
involved in marine pollution incidents since the Amoco Cadiz accident in 1978.
The activities have been performed mainly through the Community Action
Plan and by active participation in several international agreements established for dealing with cooperation between States in case of accidental pollution of the sea. In the Braer incident in January 1993, as well as in the Aegean
Sea incident in December 1992, the Commission played an active role in the
aspect of operational initiatives. Although no specific request was received for
Task Force assistance in either incident, the Task Force crisis team in Brussels assisted the responsible national authorities on a continuous basis with
the dissemination of validated information to the other member States and assisted in handling of requests for observers to go to the scene. In both incidents the Commission also provided financial support for various activities

Abstract: The most important physical aspects of the Gulf with respect to effects of marine pollution are its semi-enclosed, shallow nature and its arid setting. The Gulf is principally a sedimentary basin whose substrate is mainly
biogenic, with outcrops of older limestone, and with a few actively growing
reefs. It is relatively shallow, so that almost all parts of it lie within the photic
zone. Its enclosed nature means that it has a low rate of water exchange (up
to 5 years), and large parts of it experience extremes of salinity and temperature which have considerable effect on the marine communities. Pelagic productivity is typical for waters of this latitude, though the high productivity values commonly attributed to the Gulf refer to benthic components rather than
to the main water mass. It suffered complete drying out in the late Pleistocene, so that its present relatively low biotic diversity is perhaps due as much to
its relatively short existence in Recent time as much as to the extremes of environmental conditions which it experiences

Abstract: Following the unprecedented oil pollution during the Gulf War in
1991, the International Council for Bird Preservation (ICBP) worked with the
National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development and the Environment Protection Council, in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait respectively, to
quantify the damage to bird populations and to recommend actions that
should be taken in response. This article summarizes the findings of these
ICBP-related surveys with respect to the marine pollution. No bird species has
had its world population reduced to such an extent that recovery is impossible.
However, biogeographical populations of four seabirds suffered severe mortality (22-50+%), and the intertidal flats of the Saudi Arabian Gulf coast, a globally important feeding and re-fuelling area for migratory wader Charadrii
populations, were severely polluted with a consequent drastic reduction in the
number of water birds supported by this habitat. Internationally important
breeding tem populations in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were virtually unaffected
by the pollution in 1991

Abstract: Trace metal concentrations (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cr and Cu) were determined in some benthic algae from Sepetiba Bay, Brazil. This region has been
modified by the increase of industrial activities during the last 30 years.
Among species sampled the brown algae Padina gymnospora contained the
greatest amount of Zn. The Bioconcentration Factor for Zn in P. gymnospora
was found to be 10(4) under laboratory conditions. The absorption of Zn-65
depended on exposure time and increased with Zn concentrations in the medium. An insignificant amount of Zn desorbed from algae suggested a very
high affinity with cellular binding sites. Zinc uptake by P. gymnospora is discussed by considering field and laboratory conditions

Abstract: Newark Bay, New Jersey, is particularly vulnerable to ecological
damage from petroleum and chemical spills, as a result of the enclosed nature
and shallow depth of the bay, the high frequency of shipping traffic, and the
numerous chemical and petroleum transfer terminals located along its shores.
To evaluate the potential impacts to the natural resources of this coastal estuarine ecosystem, chemical and petroleum accidents reported to the US
Coast Guard (USCG) between 1982 and 1991 were compiled to determine
the frequency and volume of these incidents in Newark Bay and in each of its
major tributaries. Records obtained from the USCG National Response Center's computerized database indicated that more than 1453 accidental incidents, resulting in the release of more than 18 million US gallons of hazardous
materials and petroleum products, occurred throughout Newark Bay during
this period of time. The bulk of the materials released to the aquatic environment consisted of petroleum products, specifically No. 6 Fuel Oil (103 spills,
12 829 272 US gal) and gasoline (207 spills, 48 816 US gal). The majority of
the reported incidents occurred in the Arthur Kill and its tributaries, as well as
in the Kill Van Kull and the Passaic River. The results of this study indicated
- 260 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
that the accidental discharge of petroleum and hazardous chemicals represents a significant source of chemical pollution in Newark Bay. Based on the
frequency of spills and the volume of materials released to the aquatic environment, it is likely that these events are having a deleterious effect on the
Newark Bay ecosystem

Abstract: Residues of organochlorine pesticides (OC's) were analyzed by capillary GLC, using a varian 3400-ECD in sediment samples from Northern OffNile Delta Mediterranean Sea Coast. As a general trend the components levels were below 45 ng/g, excluding the anomalously high figure in samples.
Remarkable variations in OC's concentrations were noted amongst locations,
mostly due to cyclodienes followed by hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH's) and
DDTs. The OC's concentrations were Extractable Organic Matter (EOM) dependent, with most polluted locations occurring past Rosetta Nile Branch

Abstract: The dab, Limanda limanda (L.), is a common species of flatfish
found in the shallow waters of the North Sea, particularly in inshore regions.
Because of its distribution and habits, it is a useful species for investigations
into the biological effects of marine pollution; it is also susceptible to certain,
easily-detectable, gross diseases, including a variety of hepatic lesions, some
of which are putative neoplasias. Investigations over the past 10 years on the
- 261 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
histopathology of dab livers, have revealed that many lesions are associated
with parasitic infections or trauma, and others include the presence of basophilic foci and putative adenoma as well as cell storage changes. The significance of these lesions is discussed in relation to other biological and physical
data, and the necessity for histological evaluation is emphasized

Abstract: In the framework of the Paris Convention for the prevention of marine pollution, the Dutch government initiated a research programme on environmental effects of discharges of contaminated drill cuttings from platforms in
the North Sea. The programme has run since 1985 and includes field surveys
at drilling sites in different parts of the Dutch sector. One of the locations in-
- 262 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
vestigated is the former drilling site F18.9, situated on the Oyster grounds.
The (abandoned) location was visited in 1988, 1 y after the exploratory drilling
ended. This paper gives a brief overview of the 1988 study at this discharge
site, which was investigated again in 1990 as part of the Bremerhaven
Workshop. Chemical analyses of the sediment over a transect in the residual
current direction revealed a clear gradient in contamination levels, with oil
concentrations ranging from 250 to 450 mg kg-1 dry sediment within 250 m
and gradually decreasing to < 20 mg kg-1 beyond 750 m. Barium concentrations showed a similar pattern. Subtle biological effects, indicated by the absence of a very sensitive species (Montacuta ferruginosa), were found as far
as 2 km from the discharge site. Abundance patterns of 2 other sensitive species (Harpinia antennaria and Callianassa subterranea) suggested environmental stress to occur up to 1 or 2 km. Within 750 m from the discharge site
an increasing number of species, including the dominant Amphiura filiformis,
appeared to decrease in abundance, successively resulting in a reduced total
macrofauna abundance and species richness. Typical opportunistic species
were observed more frequently only within a radius of 250 m. An alternative
measure of diversity ('relative macrofauna abundance') was introduced and its
merits are discussed. It is suggested that a combination should be used of
community-based parameters (e.g. species richness, relative abundance) and
species-based parameters (e.g. presence of opportunistic species, absence of
susceptible species) to describe the impact of pollution. In this way 7 accumulating effects were distinguished. At contamination levels > 100 mg oil kg-1 dry
sediment all defined effects occurred, whereas below 20 mg kg-1 the number
of effects rapidly decreased

Abstract: Present environmental policy in the countries around the North East
Atlantic is in a state of transition; in part made up of old attitudes that assumed
the environment to be largely capable of absorbing contamination, in part a
new precaution that recognises that we cannot fully predict the result of such
actions. Precaution will prevail, and be implemented by a form of pollution
prevention, known as clean production, that emphasises the need to reduce
and eliminate pollution at all stages of the manufacturing cycle. There are
three reasons why change is inevitable. First, toxicological problems, along
with serious ecological uncertainties, mean that we will be unable to predict
'safe' levels of marine contamination for the foreseeable future. Second, demonstration projects make it clear that clean production is now feasible and
economically attractive, even in 'problem' industries. Third, the targets now
being set for the reduction and elimination of potentially problematic substan-
- 263 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
ces - for instance by the 1990 North Sea Conference and the 1992 Paris Convention Ministerial meeting - have developed to the point where clean production provides the only feasible means of implementation. This change has significant implications for the water treatment industry

Abstract: Organotins have been widely used as anti-fouling coatings for fishing nets and ship bottoms, and marine pollution by them has become a serious environmental problem. In this communication, the potentiating effects of
three kinds of tri-n-butyltins and three thiphenyltins on chromosome aberrations were studied in Chinese hamster CHO K1 cells. None of the organotins
studied showed any clastogenic activity under the experimental conditions
without rat liver S9. Post-treatment with organotins, however, increased the
number of breakage-type (but not exchange-type) chromatid aberrations induced by five kinds of S-phase-dependent clastogens: MMC, cisPt, 4NQO,
MMS, and AMD. Enhancement of the induction of chromosome aberrations by
MMC was observed when cells were treated with organotins during the G2
phase. These results suggest that organotin G2 effect causes potentiating effects. Organotins also enhanced the induction of breakage-type chromatid
aberrations by clastogenic pollutants in chlorinated tap water, indicating their
potential for a more realistic health risk

Abstract: Three bays along the South African coast were studied for the presence of Salmonella spp in seawater, effluent and stormwater discharges into
the bays and in shellfish harvested at the same sites. The microbial quality of
water and shellfish samples was studied using faecal coliforms and entero-
- 264 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
cocci as indicators of pollution. A combination of Rappaport-Vassiliadis enrichment broth and bismuth sulphite agar was found to provide the best enumeration method for Salmonella spp in samples from a wide range of origins.
A poor relationship between levels of indicator organisms and the presence of
Salmonella spp was observed at both low and high densities of indicators. A
correlation between the presence of Salmonella spp in shellfish and surrounding seawater was frequently found and in most instances Salmonella contamination could be traced to discharges in the vicinity. The findings of this study question the suitability of faecal coliform limits as guidelines for microbial
quality of shelffish and shellfish harvesting grounds. Most seawater sites did
not comply with the recommended indicator limits. Salmonella spp were detected in seawater and shellfish samples which were free of faecal coliforms

Abstract: Rapid urbanisation in the coastal areas of South Africa has led to
increasing concern about the potential health effects on bathers resulting from
exposure to contaminated seawater. Water quality criteria in South Africa are
not epidemiologically derived; consequently a major programme has been
launched to develop health-related criteria and policies pertaining to wastewater and stormwater management in the coastal areas of South Africa. In the
first phase of the project, an epidemiological-microbiological study was carried
out at a moderately polluted beach and a relatively clean beach, in the Western Cape. Individuals present at the beach in family groups were interviewed
and follow-up telephone interviews were conducted 3 - 4 days after the beach
outing. Water quality indicators measured on the same day as the beach interviews revealed significantly higher levels of enterococci and faecal coliforms at the moderately polluted beach. Symptom rates for gastrointestinal,
respiratory and skin effects were substantially higher among swimmers relative to non-swimmers at the polluted beach, although they did not reach statistical significance

Abstract: Instruments and institutions for environmental management in Antarctica have evolved from beginnings in the Antarctic Treaty, with subsequent
introduction of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals, the
Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, and
recommendations made at Treaty meetings. The Protocol on Environmental
Protection to the Antarctic Treaty will improve existing provisions for environmental management in Antarctica. When it enters into force the Protocol will
apply to all activities in the Treaty area: it provides rules for environmental impact assessment, conservation of fauna and flora, disposal of wastes, prevention of marine pollution and specially protected and managed areas. The Protocol's Committee for Environmental Protection will facilitate discussion and
advice on environmental management. Management of information is a vital
part of ensuring measures are effective. The Protocol should be ratified quickly to improve the basis for environmental protection, but the test will be whether and how it is implemented in practice

Abstract: McMurdo Station is the United States Antarctic Research Program's (USARP) centre for scientific and logistical support for most of the continent and is the largest settlement in Antarctica. Over 30 years of human pre-
- 266 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
sence with shipping, air-transport, scientific, and municipal activities have resulted in severe but localized nearshore marine benthic pollution. This review
will summarize the results of 3 years of research which has documented concentrations of chemical contaminants, changes in community patterns, and
the toxicity of sediments to invertebrate species and infaunal communities.
The primary contaminants are petroleum hydrocarbons in the sediments of
Winter Quarters Bay, the site of shipping activities and a former dumpsite. Total hydrocarbon levels in sediments in Winter Quarters Bay were comparable
to the most polluted harbors in temperate latitudes. However, a steep gradient
of pollution existed: stations less than 1 km away were nearly pristine. Benthic
invertebrate communities changed dramatically along this contamination gradient. The results of both field and laboratory bioassay experiments with contaminated sediments found that biological changes observed in benthic communities around McMurdo Station were most likely caused by hydrocarbons,
PCBs, and PCTs. A primary goal of polar pollution research is to determine
the response and tolerance of Antarctic biota to physical and chemical anthropogenic disturbance, and the mitigation of negative effects. To this end, future work should include continued monitoring of changes in chemical and
community patterns, studies of the physiological responses of Antarctic invertebrates to chemical contamination, and further comparisons of anthropogenic
and natural disturbances to benthic communities

Abstract: In 1988 and 1989, thousands of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) died
in the North Sea from phocine distemper infection. The morphology of thyroid
glands from 40 harbor seals found dead on the North Sea coastlines of
Schleswig-Holstein, Federal Republic of Germany, during an epizootic of phocine distemper, was compared with the morphology of thyroid glands from five
healthy harbor seals collected in Iceland. Thyroid glands from seven harbor
porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) found dead in 1990 on the North Sea coastlines also were evaluated. Colloid depletion and fibrosis were found in the
thyroid glands of harbor seals which died during the epizootic, but not in animals from Iceland. Thyroid glands of the porpoises showed similar lesions, but
to a lesser degree, than those observed in the North Sea seals

Abstract: Australian coastal waters have been contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins and furans, and persistent organochlorine pesticides. Most PCB contamination is associated with large urban centres, while
dioxins and furans have been of particular concern around former industrial sites in Sydney, in trade wastes in Melbourne, and in relation to a pulp mill proposed for Tasmania. Prolonged use of organochlorine pesticides has resulted
in widespread contamination. Australian regulation of chemicals and hazardous wastes is complex due to the involvement of eight State and Territory
Governments, the piecemeal introduction of controls, and their division into
sectoral areas. National legislation to control agricultural, veterinary and
industrial chemicals came into effect in 1989 and 1991. Strategies are being
developed for the management of intractable wastes, while controls on sea
dumping meet the requirements of the London Dumping Convention

Abstract: Examination of individual degradation paths (biodegradation and

Biodegradation of TBT and dibutyltin (DBT) in an unfiltered sea water in summer is rather fast; their half life is about a week. But pretreatment with glass fiber filter makes the half life of TBT much longer (about
80 days). Photolysis of TBT in sea water by sun light is rapid (half life is about
0.5 days), and faster than in distilled water or in fresh water. Degradation rates of each process for TBT are calculated in various conditions of sea water,
and contribution rates are compared. Biodegradation will be the main degradation process in an ''SS-rich'' area such as a marina, but photolysis will exceed that in a ''clean'' area. Over all half lives of TBT in sea water vary from 6
days to 127 days considering seasons and presence of SS

Abstract: To evaluate the incidence of ocean-borne plastic particle ingestion
by western North Atlantic seabirds, we analyzed the gut contents of 1033
birds collected off the coast of North Carolina from 1975-1989. Twenty-one of
38 seabird species (55%) contained plastic particles. Procellariiform birds contained the most plastic and the presence of plastic was clearly correlated with
feeding mode and diet. Plastic ingestion by procellariiforms increased over the
14 year study period, probably as a result of increasing plastic particle availability. Some seabirds showed a tendency to select specific plastic shapes and
colors, indicating that they may be mistaking plastics for potential prey items.
We found no evidence that seabird health was affected by the presence of
plastic, even in species containing the largest quantities: Northern Fulmars
(Fulmarus glacialis), Red Phalaropes (Phalaropus fulicaria) and Greater
Shearwaters (Puffinus gravis)

Abstract: Doctor Michael Waldichuk was the first (1954) scientist to be appointed a full-time worker on water pollution, for the Canadian department of
fisheries. He started his career as a chemical oceanographer on the Pacific
coast, and over many years he applied those skills to surveys of pulp mill pollution. His remarkable achievement, however, was to broaden his approach
continually during 39 years of work. He wrote discerning technical reports and
reviews of methods in marine toxicology, enrichment of waters, atmospheric
interactions, approaches for developing water quality criteria, and strategies
for controlling global pollution, among other things. He was a long-time and
honoured participant in international committees and expert groups dealing
with marine pollution

Abstract: Concern over the extent of marine pollution in many of the world's
more populated coastal environments has stimulated an international debate
on how to improve strategies for marine pollution prevention. Much of the debate centres on the concepts of Sustainable Development and Precautionary
Action and the various ways to reflect these concepts in new strategies and
measures for reducing emissions of substances and wastes. The degree to
which scientific considerations should influence regulatory actions in limiting
the types and amounts of substances emitted to the environment is also a
matter of intensive discussion. However, some scientists now believe that a
common and comprehensive strategy for protection and management of the
total environment is a logical prerequisite to significant reductions in marine
and other forms of pollution on a global scale

Abstract: Mathematical models based on our understanding of oceanic processes are frequently used in the assessment and control of marine pollution.
Although no general model is available, it is usually possible to provide some
quantitative estimate of the impact of a practice. Reducing the inevitable uncertainty of the estimate requires the identification of key processes, through
sensitivity analysis of the model output, followed by focused experimental or
modelling work. Continued basic research is also required in order to improve
the chances of discovering unforeseen factors that could lead to major revisions of present assessments

Abstract: A summary of advances in satellite and aircraft remote sensing of
marine pollution is presented. Remote sensing offers large benefits because
of the high costs of monitoring using only traditional methods. Nevertheless,
much work is needed to refine the technology to address even basic marine
pollution problems. This paper briefly outlines studies of water quality assessment, including photyplankton standing stock, turbidity, suspended sediment load, dissolved organic material, temperature, salinity, wind stress, wave
direction and wavelength, current speed and direction, and light attenuation
coefficients. An increasing number of techniques useful to monitor marine pollution will be available in the 1990s. As part of this effort, it is important that a
solid scientific base for remote sensing methods be established, and that multidisciplinary, international training programs be developed. It is capable

Abstract: Two global conventions exist that address marine pollution. These
are the London Dumping Convention and the MARPOL Convention, respectively. The former addresses direct disposal of waste into the sea, the latter
ship-borne operations. Although both are administered by the International
Maritime Organization, they are quite different in character. This paper describes their respective origins, content, management, achievements and problems. It is shown that both have enjoyed much success and influence. The
authors conclude that valuable lessons can be derived from the experience
gained from these Conventions over the past 20 years and that this experience could be applied to the development of future international conventions
dealing with the marine environment

Abstract: There is ample evidence that the oceans cannot provide the infinite
sink for wastes and sustain the level of resource extraction and coastal zone
development that was originally thought possible. There is also consensus
that land-based sources of marine pollution are not adequately addressed and
further serious degradation of the marine environment will occur without concerted new action. The expectation for the 1992 United Nations Conference
on Environment and Development (UNCED) is that this challenge will be met
through a renewed commitment by all states to prevent, reduce and control
degradation of the marine environment from land-based sources of pollution
and activities

Abstract: This paper considers progress made in the protection of the marine
environment during the last 40 years. We conclude that the prevailing sectoral
approach to marine policy and management has limited effectiveness and is
overdue for replacement by a comprehensive overall strategy for social development and environmental protection. Two categories of scientific challenge,
relating to marine pollution prevention in its broadest sense, are identified
using material derived from the papers in this volume. The first involves science directed towards improvements in the reliability of assessments and predictions for current practices and chemicals. The second comprises areas of fundamental science that are crucial to developing knowledge required for longterm protection of the marine environment

Abstract: In the winter of 1989 severe seas destabilised the 1 700 metre long
marine outfall at Green Point which had been commissioned in 1985. Divers
had to detach a large section of the outfall to prevent further damage occurring. This resulted in virtually untreated sewage effluent being discharged 280
metres from the rocky shoreline. Public outrage and severe criticism from the
media resulted in an emotional and environmentally sensitive issue having to
be handled with considerable political and professional skill to enable the determination of the most appropriate solution for Green Point. Independent
consultants were appointed by the Cape Town City Council to study basically
two options to rectify the situation; reinstating the marine outfall or constructing a conventional sewage treatment plant in close proximity to a densely populated coastal area. This paper discusses the marine option in detail and the
advantages and disadvantages of both marine and land options as well as the
public involvement and the adopted decision making process. After a comprehensive investigation had identified and explored all aspects and after the public had been fully involved and consulted, the Cape Town City council accepted the City Engineer's recommendation with a vote of 33 to 1, in favour of a
new marine outfall

Abstract: This paper covers research results and construction techniques
applied for marine outfall systems of three medium sized cities located on the
coast of the Black Sea. The treatability and design data related to the pretreatment and marine outfall system of a large pulp and paper mill on the same coast are presented. The preliminary studies and the development of the
design criteria of the related marine outfall systems were carried out by the
Department of Environmental Engineering of Istanbul Technical University.
The scope of the project included oceanographic, hydrographic, and geotechnical surveys and water quality measurements. A construction method, which
is widely applied in Turkey for laying of the glass reinforced pipes(GRP), has
been evaluated. Pollution loads originated from the land based sources have
been given and their probable environmental impacts in the receiving water
body have been discussed

Abstract: Marine debris (persistent, solid marine pollution), especially plastics
and medical wastes, is a growing concern of coastal communities. In Chatham County, Georgia marine pollution was studied over an eight-month period
in 1989-90 at four sites representing a variety of shoreline types. Anthropogenic solid materials (e.g. plastics, metals, glass) were collected in measured
areas from the shoreline to highest high tide line, classified by type, measured
to the nearest centimetre, and weighed to the nearest gram. From 2.38 km of
shoreline 956 separate items weighing a total of 107.2 kg were collected. The
equivalent of 94.4 kg marine debris per km was collected during the first sampling in October 1989. This amount was less than that reported by 12 of the
22 states participating in the 1989 Beachsweep effort. Overall, the rate of accumulation of marine debris in Chatham County, Georgia is 102 kg per km per
year. Extrapolating this rate to the total estimated shoreline in Chatham County, 40 800 kg or 40.8 t of marine debris might wash up on its shores annually.
No medical wastes were found at any of the sites during the study

Abstract: A few days after the launch of the Coalition air campaign against
Iraq at the start of the Gulf War, apparently on 19 January 1991, the Iraqis in
occupation of Kuwait opened valves at the Kuwait Oil Company Sea Island
terminal near Kuwait City and deliberately pumped large quantities of crude oil
from it and at least three tankers berthed there into the Gulf. Although much of
this oil evaporated or was dispersed, a large slick moved southward and began to accumulate from 24 January on the north coast of Saudi Arabia, and
only the precision bombing of its manifolds by US bombers stemmed the flow
of oil from the terminal. On 31 January it was reported that Iraq had also begun pumping oil into the Gulf from its own Mina al-Bakr terminal to the NorthEast of the Kuwaiti island of Bubiya, thus creating a second major slick. Coalition aircraft also precision-bombed this. Estimates of the quantities of oil released vary greatly, and it is clear that, while early estimates that it was the
greatest oil pollution disaster of all time might not be substantiated, nevertheless, the releases were very substantial and that it polluted at least a 50 km
stretch of the Saudi coast as well as killing large quantities of seabirds; any
additional serious environmental effects are not yet apparent. It is the purpose
of this article to examine the legal aspects of these deliberate releases of oil
and to suggest ways in which the relevant law might be improved

Abstract: This study has developed and verified clam transplantation for marine pollution monitoring in Kuwait and has assessed its reliability for monitoring pollution by heavy metals through laboratory and field transplantation experiments. In field experiments, live specimens of the clam Circenita callipyga
were transplanted, either suspended in seawater or buried in sand, to 11
coastal sites in Kuwait; subsamples of transplanted clams were recovered at
intervals over a 6-month period. In laboratory experiments, heavy metal accumulation for 36 days and depuration (body's release of pollutants) for 60
days in small and big clams were investigated. Clams subsampled in laboratory and field experiments were analyzed for Hg, Cu, V, Cd and Pb. Results
showed the ability of clams to survive under the transplantation conditions.
Accumulation of biofouling materials was a problem at only two transplantation sites and was overcome by periodic cleaning. Statistical analysis of laboratory experimental data showed significant accumulation of all test metals
and significant depuration of Hg, Cu, V and Cd. Rates of metal accumulation
and depuration differed in relation to clam size class. Field experiments
indicated statistically significant increases in Hg and Cu concentrations in the
transplanted clams at most stations, no change in Cd concentrations and an
increase or, occasionally, a decrease in V and Pb concentrations

Abstract: A selective chemical leaching technique has been used to investigate the geochemical partitioning, and chemical availability of copper, lead,
zinc and cadmium in sediments from an area in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland
that has been contaminated by sewage sludge from a sea disposal operation
which began in 1904 and concluded in 1974. None of the metals were found
to have accumulated predominantly in strongly bound positions, however, there was some transfer of metals between the less strong binding sites. The
concentrations of lead associated with carbonates increased with depth, at the
expense of that bound to iron and manganese oxides. Copper was predominantly bound to organic material or sulphides. In sediments which had been
heavily contaminated by sludge dumping, zinc and cadmium tended to be associated with carbonates, whilst elsewhere zinc was divided more equally
between carbonates, iron and manganese oxides, and organic material or
sulphides

Abstract: Sewage sludge has been dumped in the Firth of Clyde (6 km south
of Garroch Head point on the Isle of Bute) at a rate of approximately 1 x 10(6)
tonnes of wet sludge per annum since 1974. The sludge has a high organic
carbon content and also contains inorganic and organic contaminants from
both industrial and domestic sources. Sludge has settled on the sea bed and
resulted in changes to the benthic fauna and sediment chemical characteristics. This paper presents the results of a survey of the sediment chemistry and
microbiology at the disposal site and the surrounding area up to 3 km from the
centre of the site. Elevated concentrations of trace metals, organic carbon, nitrogen and sulphite-reducing spores were detected in the surface sediment up
to a distance of 2 km from the centre of the disposal site. These elevations
were accompanied by decreased redox potential in the sediment. The distinct
layer of sludge amended sediment, as indicated by elevations in trace metal
concentrations, extended < 2 km from the centre of the site and covered an
area of less 13 km2. The trace metal concentrations, redox potential and car-

Abstract: Global environmental issues are one of the most urgent problems
in the present day world, not only in the field of sciences but also in the international social and political juncture. CFCs were found to deplete the ozone
layer in the stratosphere, which covers the whole earth and protects the
biosphere. The leakage of CFCs at any place in the world, therefore, is responsible for the biosphere. Greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4, N2O, which are
emerging from human activities, increase gradually in troposphere, raise the
temperature and consequently make the climate change. Acid rain, marine
pollution, deforestration and desertification are also the global issues. Problems in the Asian area are particularly important and interesting in the sense
that the natures and nations there full of varieties and that it covers a very large portion of the whole earth

Abstract: Ecotoxicological investigations were performed on two sets of biological models. The first one concerns marine pollution and was composed of
invertebrates (molluscs and crustaceans) contaminated by stable or radioactive elements originating from wastes discharged into sea water. The second
one concerns freshwater pollution and was composed of vertebrates (fish)
contaminated by aluminium which was dissolved in rivers, as a consequence
of an atmospheric pollution by acid rain. Mechanisms involved in the uptake,
storage and elimination processes of these toxicants were studied, with a
special emphasis on cellular and subcellular aspects of concentration sites.
Two microanalytical methods were employed: secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), using the ion microscope and the ion microprobe, and X-ray spectrometry using the electron microprobe (EMP). SIMS, which enables the
visualization of trace elements, was associated with an image processing system using a highly sensitive television camera connected to an image computer. Polychromatic images were obtained, allowing to establish the cellular distribution of metal contaminants. In marine organisms, the target organs and
tissues of A1, rare earth elements (Tm and La) and radionuclides (U, Pu, Am)
were shown to be mainly digestive gland and exoskeleton. The target organelles were shown to be spherocrystals and lysosomes where the enzymatic lysosomal coprecipitation with phosphorus was observed. Amoebocytes, which
are enzymatically equipped with lysosomal phosphatase, were involved in the
phagocytic clearance of metal pollutants. In trout, two processes appeared to
be involved in A1 accumulation. The first one corresponds to the well known
insolubilisation of A1 phosphate, within lysosomes of organs devoted to uptake and excretion such as gill and kidney. The second one demonstrates that
organs and tissues which cannot eliminate, such as bone, heart and brain, retain A1, exhibiting a high intracellular metal concentration; moreover, large A1
deposits inducing nervous tissue destruction have been observed. Data have
been discussed in connection with the relationship between man and his environment

Abstract: The 'Methods Instructions' employed by the USSR to determine
compensation for marine pollution in Soviet waters are examined. It is pointed
out that the means of calculating losses is based not on the cost of measures
to eliminate the pollution, but on a mathematical formula. It is argued that a
conceptual error of the Methods Instructions is that they attempt to impose a
right of property ownership on the sea waters of the USSR

Abstract: Three species of marine bivalve molluscs (Chamelea gallina, Ruditapes decussatus, and Crassostrea gigas) have been studied in order to evaluate the levels of pollution on the South Atlantic Spanish littoral. Several transition metals (Cu, As, Cd, Sn, Hg, Pb) were determined as a general index af
total contamination. Animals from putative contaminated areas exhibited higher metal contents than those from cleaner waters. C. gigas showed 5-20-fold
higher total metal content than the other two species. The mutagenicity of ethanolic extracts was assayed by using both the His reversion and the Ara forward mutation tests. Mollusc tissues from the three species did not contain
genotoxins active on TA98 (frameshift mutations) or TA100 (mainly G:C basepair substitutions), but did contain direct-acting genotoxins of a polar nature
and oxidative type. This was based on the following observations: 1) mammalian metabolic activation was not required for mutagenicity, 2) mutagens were
eluted with the polar fraction from XAD-2 columns, and 3) mutagenic responses were observed with Salmonella typhimurium TA102 (A:T base-pair substitutions; sensitive to oxidative damages) and Escherichia coli catalasedeficient (Ara(R) forward mutations) strains. No relevant differences were
found in the mutagenicity of mollusc extracts from areas with different pollution levels. Otherwise, our data suggest that, in general, animals living in contaminated environments had fewer genotoxins of oxidative type than those
from less polluted areas. Such a result might be explained by the observation
of increased levels of a number of detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes, such
as glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione-peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase. Thus, contaminated animals seem to be better protected
against the oxidative damages induced by metals, in agreement with their lower malondialdehyde levels. To what extent the responsible mutagenic compounds are of endogenous origins, or "Nature's pesticides" (the major toxic
chemicals ingested by phytoplankton filter-feeders), and/or the result of
human activities remains to be determined

Abstract: Marine pollution from land-based sources (LBS) always has very
much been seen as a regional problem requiring regional solutions. It is more
and more recognized, however, that regional approaches can provide solutions only if they are supplemented by an adequate global strategy. This recognition is in particular reflected in the preparations of the 1,992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). This contribution will provide an overview of the reasons for this development and of the
main elements of a possible future global strategy

Abstract: A key to effective prevention and control of land-based sources of
marine pollution lies in the interrelationship between economic and environmental policies. National governments should be encouraged to use economic
instruments to support and improve existing regulatory systems. It is likely that
economic instruments drawn from the categories of charges, subsidies and financial enforcement incentives will be of the greatest assistance in protecting
the marine environment. Economic instruments, because they can be self financing, making use of markets and allocating costs between polluters, are
generally, more efficient than a strictly regulatory approach. It is recommended that a high priority be given to research into economic instruments and
their application where appropriate to land-based sources of marine pollution

Abstract: Plastic litter and debris of all kinds is conspicuous on many contemporary shorelines, most frequently near populated and industrial centres,
but also on remote and seldom-visited or uninhabited islands, including Raoul,
Campbell and Auckland Islands. Pollution by plastics is aesthetically distasteful and unnecessary, and also creates a number of environmental problems:
e.g. death and/or debilitation of wildlife through entanglement; blockages to
the intestinal tract through ingestion leading to starvation and death, or ulceration of delicate tissues by jagged fragments; reduction in quality of life and reproductive performance. Larger items may also hazard shipping. An encrusting pseudoplanktic biota, similar to that found on floating Sargassum and other seaweeds has been recognised on drift plastics, Alien species, rafted on
drifting plastic, could endanger the flora and fauna of protected and conservation island ecosystems. The sources of plastic pollution can be both distant
(the truly 'oceanic' debris which has drifted from afar) and regional and local
(e.g. shipping, fishing and recreational boating activities). Data compiled during a recent clean-up campaign on beaches of the inner Hauraki Gulf islands
- 285 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
suggest that nearby land-based sources are also important. There is need to
educate the public about the environmental problems arising from the indiscriminate disposal of plastics and other persistent synthetic compounds. It is
unlikely that these problems can ever be solved by regulation, although, along
with technological advances, that could alleviate them

Abstract: Genotoxic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic hazards arising out of pollution in the marine environment are discussed in this article, with special reference to the situation in the Mediterranean area. A number of chemical
compounds or complex mixtures relevant to marine pollution, either natural or
of anthropogenic original, are tentatively listed, along with protective factors
which may play a counteracting role in the same environment. Harmful substances tend to undergo interactions and transformations in seawater, sediments, and marine biota, due to physical, chemical, microbial, or lightmediated mechanisms. Bioaccumulation phenomena in marine organisms
may result from food-chain biomagnification processes or from concentration
of pollutants by filter feeders. A variety of sources can account for marine pollution by genotoxic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic compounds, but there is a
relative paucity of analytical data concerning the Mediterranean. Metabolic
transformations of xenobiotics occur in all marine organisms, the biochemical
mechanisms in fish being comparable to those which have been extensively
- 286 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
investigated in mammals. Induction of metabolic pathways, and especially of
the mixed-function oxygenase system, represents the earliest warning signal
of exposure to pollutants. Occurrence of neoplastic diseases is documented
by experimental and field studies in marine vertebrates as well as in invertebrates. The association with local pollution phenomena has been recognized
in several studies, but other etiopathogenetic factors may be also involved,
and in some cases tumors have been reported to be unrelated to chemical pollution. Genotoxic agents have been detected by means of suitable techniques
in seawater, sediments, and marine organisms. Several studies have investigated the presence of carcinogen-DNA adducts, DNA damage and repair processes, and cytogenetic alterations, such as chromosomal aberrations, sisterchromatid exchanges, and micronuclei, in tissues of marine organisms.
However, monitoring of these end-points under field conditions encounters
some limitations and problems. Even more fragmentary is the information on
teratogenic effects in marine organisms, although interesting test systems
have been set up. On the whole, a quite extensive database on all these toxicological issues is already available in the literature, but further studies are
warranted for an adequate assessment of genotoxic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic hazards, and possibly counteracting factors in the marine environment, and specifically in the Mediterranean Sea

Abstract: A continuous field research effort has been carried out in the Apalachicola River estuary since March 1972. The information generated from this
interdisciplinary study has been directly applied to the management of the
- 287 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
Apalachicola resource by means of close associations among local, state, and
federal officials and university scientists. During the early years, scientific data
were instrumental in the prevention of the impoundment of the Apalachicola
River. A series of regional studies was carried out to evaluate various forms of
effects due to forestry activities, pesticides, and stormwater runoff from urban
areas. A review was made of fisheries problems associated with dredging,
overfishing, and marine pollution. Results of such studies were directly applied
to local management questions. Research that linked the river wetlands with
the estuary, in terms of the input of fresh water, nutrients, and organic matter,
served as the basis for the purchase of extensive bottomland tracts. Other initiatives were carried out that were designed to protect the naturally high productivity of the river estuary. Further purchases of estuarine wetlands and barrier island properties were made that formed an almost continuous buffer of
publicly held lands between upland developments and critical habitats and
important populations of the bay system. A regional management plan was
adopted that was designed to limit local municipal development in the estuarine region. Analyses of the long-term scientific data indicated that dominant,
commercially important estuarine populations are associated with river flow,
local salinity characteristics, and biological (predation, competition) interactions with the salinity regime and food web structure. Such interactions are not
straight forward, however; they reflect complex interactions of the freshwater
influxes and biological response in the estuary that are not well understood.
Species-specific responses to the principal driving factors further complicate
the biological relationships of the Apalachicola system. The management of a
river-dominated estuary should be based on protection and control of freshwater sources, nutrients, and organic matter with a minimization of physical alterations that often lead to increased salinity stratification and the associated
loss of the nursery function of the estuary. There is growing evidence that
changes in upland characteristics and within-system habitat alterations are
associated with changes in nutrient distributions and salinity relationships and
that such changes can have serious impacts on estuarine systems. Issues involving basic changes in estuarine productivity and associated food webs are
far more important than those involving species diversity in the management
of such resources. Processes such as nutrient flow and salinity alteration underlie the very basis of estuarine productivity and usefulness. Over the past
decade, there has been a gradual reduction in the importance of research as
an integral part of the planning and management process in the Apalachicola
system. This regional trend follows a national pattern. Dredging effects on the
river and bay have gone on without effective challenge even though such activities are damaging productive habitats of the system. The once influential
Apalachicola oyster fishery remains in disarray following a series of natural disasters and poor management practices. There is a growing problem with the
deliberate obstruction of the generation and use of scientific data to determine
management policies by various state and federal agencies. The substitution
of public relations activities for the development of needed scientific information concerning factors such as the importance of sustained freshwater input
to estuaries is further evidence that even the most elaborate and wellconceived management plans can be reversed by political manipulations and
short-sighted bureaucratic policies

Abstract: Some of the problems experienced in devising rational wastedisposal policies are examined. Pollution is defined as environmental damage
caused by the accidental or deliberate discharge of wastes. Damage is defined as undesirable change in the environment, but identifying the cause of
environmental change is difficult against the background of natural fluctuations. Pollution-abatement costs rise exponentially with the effluent quality
demanded, so it is important that scientific assessment should be reliable.
However, the decision about an appropriate trade-off between environmental
and financial costs is political, not scientific. Public perceptions are beginning
to make many waste-disposal options unacceptable. As a result, remedial action is often inappropriate and merely transfers the pollution from one environment to another without addressing the basic issue that wastes continue to
be created and have to be disposed of somewhere. There is an urgent need
for dispassionate scientific advice, even if it may be over-ruled by other considerations, but scientific assessment requires a good knowledge of how the local marine environment behaves

Abstract: The discharge and dumping of plastic debris into the world's
oceans has become an increasingly serious form of marine pollution in recent
years. To counter such practices, a number of international agreements containing specific prohibitions against dumping plastics into the marine environment have been promulgated. The 1972 London Dumping Convention, Annex
V to the MARPOL Convention, and the 1978 MARPOL Protocol cite plastic
pollution as unlawful in international waters. Though not yet in force, particular
provisions mandating protection and preservation of the marine environment
in the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention also add considerable legal sway. Six
special agreements of the UN Regional Seas Programme and three other relevant regional instruments contribute to banning pollution by dumping plastic
substances in designated ocean areas. Given the large number of states that
have legally committed themselves to being bound by one or more of these international agreements, a firm normative foundation appears to have evolved
that prohibits marine plastic pollution. The full normative quality of this rule,
however, will depend on the degree to which it is adhered to in state practice

Abstract: Population increases and poor economic growth are underlying factors leading to the deterioration of the marine environment in many developing
countries. In this article, the relationship between marine pollution and growth
in PR China is analysed as a case study. Priority must be given to the resolution of existing marine environmental problems, but it is recognized that development pollcies and supporting strategies are required which ensure the sustainable use of the ocean and its resources while taking national and local social and economic needs into consideration

Abstract: This article examines recent Soviet legislation governing the Soviet
exclusive economic zone and compares Soviet municipal legislation governing pollution control with the provisions contained in the 1982 Law of the Sea
Convention (LOS Convention). Points of non-compliance with the LOS Convention in both primary and subsidiary legislation are pointed out. The method
contained in the Soviet legislation of calculating losses caused by pollution is
highlighted as an area of particular concern

Abstract: Pb concentrations were measured on large particles (diameter >
10-mu-m) at seven stations in North East Atlantic waters, and Pb isotopic
composition was determined on one sediment core (Fluxatlante cruise, 1985).
In intermediate and deep waters, Pb concentrations on large particles are
about 0.5 ng l-1, less than 1 % of total lead and show a close correlation with
Pb-210. This suggests that lead is primarily scavenged from the dissolved Pb
pool in surface waters with little further scavenging in deep waters. Such an
interpretation is supported by our observation of stable Pb isotopic ratios in
surficial sediments which suggests that a rapid coupling exists between the
atmospheric input of Pb to surface waters and its delivery to the watersediment interface. Furthermore, the calculated large-particle lead flux leaving
surface waters can account for our inventory of surficial sediments

Abstract: X-ray microanalysis (XRMA) is customized for investigations of the
metabolic and detoxification strategies of heavy metals taken by marine organisms from polluted environments. Sites of uptake, intracellular accumulation,
transport and excretion are visualized, analysed and quantified. Cryopreparation techniques are required to prevent the translocation or loss from specimens of soluble metal species. In marine invertebrates, metals are detoxified
by systems of chemical binding and intracellular compartmentalization. XRMA
investigations have concentrated on marine molluscs and crustaceans and
even within these restricted groups there are marked inter-species differences
in the biochemical and cytological processes which reduce metal bioavailability. Some detoxification systems also protect the carnivores which ingest the
metal-laden tissues of the prey. This results in the bioreduction of metals
along a food chain. These processes are investigated by XRMA which can be
tuned to observe the complex interactions which operate at all levels within
and between the biota and polluted environments

Abstract: Green mussels (Perna viridis) collected from nine locations along
the South Indian coast were used as bioindicator to assess the organochlorine
contamination (HCHs, DDTs, and PCBs) in the coastal environment of South
India. Concentrations of SIGMA-HCH and SIGMA-DDT were found to be similar, ranging from 3 to 39 ng g-1 on wet wt basis. On the other hand, PCB levels were apparently lower, varying from < 1.0 to 7.1 ng g-1 wet wt. The residue pattern of organochlorines in mussels are principally similar to those in
Indian human samples, reported earlier. The coastal marine pollution by HCH
in India ranks among the highly contaminated areas in the world

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the significance of the use of
molecular biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic tools for marine pollution
monitoring. In order to assess the impact of highly persistent pollutants such
as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins (PCDD),
polychlorinated dibenzo-furans (PCDF), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAH), tributyltin (TBT) and other toxic metals on the marine ecosystem a suite of biomarkers are being extensively used worldwide. Among the various types of biomarkers, the following have received special attention: cytochrome
P4501A induction, DNA integrity, acetylcholinesterase activity and metallothionein induction. These biomarkers are being used to evaluate exposure of
various species of sentinel marine organisms (e.g. mussels, clams, oysters,
snails, fishes, etc.) to and the effect of various contaminants (organic xenobiotics and metals) using different molecular approaches [biochemical assays,
enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assays (ELISA), spectrophotometric, fluorometric measurement, differential pulsed polarography, liquid chromatography,
atomic absorption spectrometry]. The induction of the biotransformation enzyme, cytochrome P4501A in fishes (Callionymus lyra, Limanda limanda, Serranus sp., Mullus barbatus) and mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) by various
xenobiotic contaminants such as PCBs, PAHs, PCDs is used as a biomarker
of exposure to such organic pollutants. The induction of cytochrome P4501A
is involved in chemical carcinogenesis through catalysis of the covalent bonding of organic contaminants to a DNA strand leading to formation of DNA
adduct. Measurement of the induction of cytochrome P4501A in terms of
EROD (7-ethoxy resorufin O-deethylase) activity is successfully used as a po-
- 345 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
tential biomarker of exposure to xenobiotic contaminants in marine pollution
monitoring. In order to assess the impact of neurotoxic compounds on marine
environment the evaluation of acetylcholinesterase activity in marine organisms is used as a biomarker of exposure to neurotoxic agents such as organophosphorus, carbamate pesticides etc. Metallothioneins (MTs) are induced
by toxic metals such as Cd, Hg, and Cu by chelation through cysteine residues and are used in both vertebrates and invertebrates as a biomarker of
metal exposure. The measurement of the levels of DNA integrity in marine organisms such as Sea stars (Asterias rubens) from the North Sea and the marine snails (Planaxis sulcatus) from the Arabian Sea along the Goa coast exposed to environmental xenobiotic contaminants clearly indicated the extent
and the nature of pollution at the sampling sites along coastal environment

Abstract: Spills of oil or other hazardous chemicals that are caused by mishaps at sea may result in significant impacts on the marine environment and
on the coastal communities that exploit these regions. Calamitous chemical
(oil) spills as well as the chronic exposure of frequent small spills has a harmful impact on biota and economical issues. The threat of chemical (oil) pollution on vulnerable marine and coastal areas is of great concern of the responsible authorities and requires permanent, stand-by or temporary measures.
- 347 MAPO Project - 28/06/2006
Management and control of coastal pollution disasters requires knowledge
and understanding of the dispersion and effects of such spills. Important parameters determining the chemical (oil) spill behaviour at sea are wind, waves, tidal motion, bathymetry, and the shape of the land-water boundary. Accurate hydrodynamic information is therefore essential for reliable predictions
of the dispersion and fate of chemical pollutions. This holds especially in the
vicinity of coastal structures such as long dams and harbour breakwaters
where large scale horizontal vortices can be present. These horizontal turbulent motions have dimensions in the order of hundreds of meters and timescales in the order of minutes. In the usual flow simulations in which the classical unsteady shallow water equations are numerically solved, these motions
are not resolved. Therefore, a proper and advanced modelling technique such
as HLES (Horizontal Large Eddy Simulation) is required that faithfully simulates the creation and evolution of eddies with horizontal dimensions significantly exceeding the water depth near coastal structures. In addition, high resolution curve-linear boundary fitted model grids are essential for an accurate representation of e.g. curved break water. Within this paper we will demonstrate
the use of advanced hydrodynamic modelling techniques by considering various contingency chemical spill scenarios nearby the IJmuiden harbour in the
Netherlands. For this, a high resolution model of the harbour geometry inclusive coastal structures and the adjacent Dutch coastal zone is defined to address the significance of hydrodynamic complexity. The results can provide
valuable information to facilitate in policy planning and harbour management
issues such as moving leaking ships in distress towards a place of refuge.

State of the Art on Marine Pollution from INNOVATION and/or INVENTION
point of view (SoA-INN).
SoA-INN data base is more focused to commercial and/or economic field because it is a data base on innovative jobs, taken to end for people who look for a commercial exit to the results of their inventions and/or researches by patents of their property rights and or intervening patent investigations that they protect his property.
Well it is known that in many instances an invention, which is protected by a patent or the
commercial check mark not always the manufacture and posterior commercialization of the
product makes one feel as a result. But we think this is not a subject we may undertake because it is really difficult being able to acced to which were the products that could have been
well received on market.
Now, we will do a revision of SoA-INN data base.

products, electronic products, recreational, medical products, textile and consumer products, rubber hoses, marine products (e.g. hulls, boards, slabs,
blocks) pipes, and polymeric foams (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The invention
has reduced densities of matrix materials, e.g. elastomers and thermosetting
resins, higher impact resistance due to increased interfacial area between matrix and texturized fiber and increased energy absorbed when texturized fiber
delaminates from matrices, reduced surface friction, higher lubricity surfaces,
enhanced tolerance for and compatibilization of both the hydrophobic and hydrophilic constituents in the matrices, and enhanced ability to custom tailor the
properties of the composition for specific requirements. It is also strong, lightweight, and inexpensive
