✦ Synopsis
These are the proceedings of a symposium on the effects of environmental stress held in New York in J u n e 1979. I n the first two sections, reports of the science panels are presented, including effects of pollution and the management of domestic wastes, dredged material, industrial wastes and non-point sources. The following sections are contributed papers on the effects of pollutants on benthos, fishes, plankton and neuston, and the effects of nutrients, carbon loading, and toxic substances, including metals and petroleum hydrocarbons. Besides papers on New York Bight, contributions on the conditions in other areas, such as the Middle Atlantic coastal waters and areas off California are provided. The sections include conclusions, recommendations and references.
