This report summarizes activities of the Ocean Assessments Division (OAD), Office of Oceanography and Marine Services, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), performed during fiscal year 1983. The OAD conducts a comprehensive, continuing program of assessment activities, including research, development, and monitoring, on the short- and long-term effects of human activities on the marine environment. These activities result in information products and services useful for planning and decision making related to the resolution of multiple resource-use conflicts, including environmental quality problems, in the estuarine, coastal, and oceanic areas of the United States. Ocean waste disposal assessment remained a high priority during fiscal year 1983.
