Developments in the use of hyperbaric welding (and an atmospheric welding system alternative, WELDAP), the mech- anization of welding (THOR I, a remotely-operated orbital welding machine), the Hydra experimental program on hydrogen mixtures, etc. are treated. Saga 1, a new, highly autonomous and long range submersible that will provide logistical support for deepwater construction, is also described briefly. (wbg)

Following a 1981 National Research Council sym- posium on engineering problems in ocean waste disposal, a committee of the Marine Board was organized to examine the technical and economic aspects of the ocean disposal of treated wastewater and sewage sludge, particularly the transport of domestic waste from treatment to disposal sites. This report on the findings of the committee includes a discussion of relevant wastewater characteristics, a description of common techniques and the system engineering approach, a parametric economic anal- ysis of transportation systems, suggestions for research, and examples of applications. It is con- cluded that techniques presently available are ca- pable of providing ocean disposal systems that meet

environmental standards, with treatment and dis- posal facilities viewed-as parts of an integrated system. Gaither: CoIL of Mar. Studies, Univ. of Delaware, Newark, DE, USA. (gsb)

Repercussions from the 1982 Coastal Barrier Re- sources Act, which limits federal subsidies for development of 'undeveloped' coastal barriers, may require formulation of a comprehensive manage- ment program with respect to 'developed' coastal barriers (DCBs) according to conference partici- pants. Impact of development on barrier dynamics (dune and erosion management, public health) and effects of barrier dynamics on development (hazard mitigation), as well as public beach access rights were discussed. Alternative DCB management strat- egies were suggested. Land and Water Policy Center, Univ. of Mass., Amherst, MA 01003, USA. (gsb)

challenge. OffshOre, 45(9).ei00-I06.

The Gulf of Mexico may be the world's largest producer of oily waters----800,000 b/d, nearly as much as the amount of oil produced there. For the gulf and other sites of offshore oil production two new pieces of equipment may provide a means to reduce the amount of minute oil particles that remain after available oil-water separation tech- niques have been applied. The new hydroclones (Vortoil and Oilspin), both developed at the Uni- versity of Southampton (U.K.), are being tested in Australian waters, the North Sea and offshore California, and are described here.

agement: an assessment of permit compliance. Environ. Mgmt, 9(5):393-398.

Unfortunately, usage parameters based on permit issuance are invariably inaccurate because of permit noncompliance, and surveys of noncompliance invite evasion. It has been shown elsewhere that randomized response designs reduce survey response bias to incriminating questions by ensuring re- spondent anonymity. Utilizing this technique, es- timates of permit non-compliance were determined for the Capricornia Section of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Noncompliance with the requirement to obtain the prescribed permit was low whereas noncompliance with specific permit conditions was high. Reasons are presented; it is recommended that marine park managers should not unreservedly base management decisions on usage data derived simply from permit issuance.

compared. Even when the data are generated using Deriso's model, the simpler production model generally gives as good or better estimates for the optimal effort; the only exception is when data have unrealistically large contrasts in effort and catch per unit effort over time. Simple production models should often be used in stock assessments based on catch/effort data, even when more realistic and structurally correct models are available to the analyst.
