MARINE
POLLUTION
The International Journal for Marine Environmental Scientists,
Engineers, Administrators, Politicians and Lawyers.
The sets out to cover all aspects of the environmental
conditions of estuaries, seas and oceans. The journal welcomes news, comment,
reviews, and research reports, not only on the threat of noxious substances to marine
life but also on the productivity, processes and functions of the marine environment,
and the effects of mankind (including management) on these. It publishes accounts of
economic and legal as well as scientific aspects of marine pollution.
