Upwelling surface variability; chlorophyll content; benthic hiomass; pelagic fisheries composition, reproductive cycles and migrations; and sediment organic matter partitioning off Africa's west coast are discussed in 9 papers.

Six papers discuss some recent advances in offshore drilling including the technologies enabling a record depth well in 4876 ft and drilling in currents as high as 3 knots. Utilization of high impact plastics to extend the operational depths of existing vessels by 40%,

Simple problems like panel layout design are now out of style in ergonomics, which currently portrays instruments as parts of larger information systems which frequently include a human element. But the field, in all its aspects, might be very important for design considerations applicable to cramped, uncomfortable or dangerous work environments.
