Preface
This volume presents some of the results of the joint BMB 15 & ECSA 27 Symposium held in Mariehamn, Aland,
Finland in June 1997. The aims of the symposium were to present and discuss contributions covering comparisons
of biological, physical and (geo-)chemical features and processes of enclosed and semi-enclosed marine systems.
Also included were responses to altered environmental conditions, and discussion of operational assessment and
management related to these topics.
The symposium was a joint meeting organized by the Baltic Marine Biologists (BMB) and the Estuarine and
Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA), gathering around 200 scientists from more than twenty nations. The meeting
was hosted by the Huso Biological Station (Department of Biology, Abo Akademi University). Co-organizers were
the Aland University College, SW Finland Environment Centre and the Archipelago Research Institute (University
of Turku). The organizing committee consisted of Ea Maria Blomqvist, Erik Bonsdorff, Erkki Leppakoski, Pasi
Laihonen, Ilppo Vuorinen and Bernt Ingmar Dybern (all for BMB), Victor N. de Jonge and DonaldS. McLusky
(for ECSA).
Financial support for this publication was received from the Maj & Tor Nessling Foundation, the Academy of
Finland, the Research Institute of the Abo Akademi University Foundation and Alands Kulturdelegation.
The topics of the symposium were chosen partly with respect to the location of the symposium, the Aland
Islands. This part of the Baltic Sea with over 6000 islands and skerries forms numerous steep environmental
gradients. Secondly, many rapid and large scale changes that have been recorded in the Baltic and other marine
ecosystems, particularly in the coastal waters, did merit proper scientific attention. The present issue (with in all 28
peer-refereed papers from the symposium) offers a broad view of these topics. The included contributions are not
only from the Baltic Sea region, but also from other coastal and estuarine environments in Europe and elsewhere.
It is our hope that this proceedings volume will serve as a good basis for reference within the given framework.
