Abstract :
Technical experts and managers from industry, municipal agencies, local, state, and Federal government agencies have participated in six regional workshops on marine pollution monitoring, held during the period between September 1980 and February 1981. Following an assessment of present monitoring practices and discussions of future monitoring strategies, the participants made several recommendations. This paper details the strategy for implementing the workshop recommendations. The new regional and national monitoring programs are coordinated, and their objectives are directed toward actual management requirements.
