Creation (by the state legislatures) of a joint Maryland-Virginia Advisory Commission on the Chesapeake Bay may benefit the region enormously by providing a master plan (the first) for the balanced use of the estuary and by stimulating development and use of data base systems (which are presently inadequate) for monitoring and research.

The role of law in resolving conflicts between the fishing and oil industries in the North Sea is to provide a framework which must be filled out by practices and attitudes of both industries. Growing awareness of this need has resulted in increased consultation between the two with the subsequent modification and resolution of some operations and conflicts. The probability of future conflict resolution appears good. Department of Public International Law, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland. (smf)

Outfall construction costs can be approximated by deriving relationships between the unit construction cost in dollars per meter length and the inside diameter of existing outfalls. Dimensions, cost and characteristics of 47 outfalls are tabulated. Caldwell Connell Engineers, South Melbourne, Australia.

Ever since Malthus published An essay on the principle of population as it affects the future improvement of society (1803), world models of population, resources and ecology have sparked debate and stimulated additional study, even if they weren't especially accurate. However, these models can be expected to yield ever better predictive insights in spite of the enormous complexity and interdependency of the many variables.

The individual coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef have relative proximities and distributions that resemble those of an island archipelago. Thus, there is the possibility of using island biogeographic theory in marine management, particularly for gathering information on minimum park reserve sizes and isolation and exchange parameters.

Annual energy production by plant photosynthesis (carbon fixation) equals about 10 times the world's yearly energy use and 200 times the world's yearly food-energy consumption. Development of photobiological energy conversion systems as alternatives to fossil carbon resources is considered; their use as a source of food, fuel, fiber and chemicals is suggested.

Fish. Res. Bd Can., 36(6): 699-704. Canada's fisheries management principle, that of 'best use' (greatest socioeconomic returns from fishing and related industries) is discussed from the sometimes conflicting perspectives of biology and economics. To make this principle operational, both disciplines must act in areas of their individual expertise while interacting to manage resource allocation.
