Title: Report to the Congress on ocean pollution, monitoring, and research, October 1987 through September 1988

Abstract

The report is structured along organizational and programmatic lines, and emphasizes the activities and accomplishments of the Ocean Assessments Division and the National Ocean Pollution Program Office. As in other recent annual reports, only those monitoring, research, and assessment activities that receive NOAA support under either Title II of the MPRSA or Sections 4, 6, or 8 of NOPPA are described. Activities currently conducted under the program include: a cooperative interagency analysis of marine pollution issues and priorities, and planning the necessary research and monitoring strategies to meet these priorities, a national program to assess the status and trends of coastal marine and estuarine environmental quality, including a NOAA quality assurance program for analytical measurements, a program to assess the effects of selected toxic chemicals on populations of living marine resources and a national capability to provide scientific support services during Federal responses to spills of oil and hazardous materials and during cleanup of hazardous waste sites in coastal areas.
