The First International Symposium on Small Estuaries was organized to provide an opportunity for an international community of scientists to present and discuss results of their research on the biochemical processes that affect the fate of particles, nutrients, metals, and contaminants at the land-ocean interface. The traveler presented a paper at this symposium entitled, ''Radioactive and Stable Isotope Tracers for Estuarine Processes and River-Ocean Exchange.'' Several of the presentations by French and Yugoslavian scientists focused on the Krka River estuary along the Adriatic coastline of Croatia, Yugoslavia. The Krka is a small and extensively studied salt-wedge estuary that is being used as a natural model for characterizing biochemical processes in large estuarine systems. The symposium ended with a final roundtable discussion concerning future estuarine research and international cooperation, in response to global climatic and environmental change. 2 refs.
