Proceedings of a Workshop on Scientific Problems Relating to Ocean Pollution, Estes Park, Colorado, July 10-14, 1978

On July 10-14, 1978, a workshop was held in Estes Park, Colorado, organized by Dr. Wilmot N. Hess, Director, Environmental Research Laboratories, NQAA, and Professor Edward D. Goldberg, Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The purpose of this workshop was to (1) write a strong, comprehensive statement of the scientific problems of ocean pollution; and (2) identify research, development, and monitoring programs that should be undertaken in order to solve these problems. This workshop was organized just at the time that Public Law 95-273, dealing with marine pollution, was being passed. The workshop was intended to be a contribution toward the development of a national plan for marine pollution research and development and monitoring.
