This book represents an outgrowth of an interdisciplinary session
held at the Seventh International Estuarine Research Federation
Conference held at Virginia Beach, Virginia, OCLober 1983. At that
meeting, the participants agreed to contribute to and develop a
monograph entitled "Tidal Mixing and Plankton Dynamics" by inviting
an expanded group of authors to contribute chapters on this theme.
The emphasis would be to review and summarize the considerable body
of knowledge that has accumulated over the last decade or so on the
fundamental role tidal mixing plays in energetic shallow seas and
estuaries in stimulating and controlling biological production. We
have attempted to provide a mix of contributions, composed of
reviews of the state-of-the-art, reports on current research activi
ties, summaries of the design and testing of a new generation of
innovative instruments for biological and chemical sampling and
sorting, and some imaginative ideas for future experiments on
stimulated mixing in continental shelf seas. We encouraged the
contributors to present critical and thought provoking assessments
of current wisdom specifying the sorts of techniques and
observational strategies needed to validate the various hypotheses
linking physical structure, mixing and circulation to plankton
biomass and production. We hope this volume will appeal to incoming
research students and established scholars alike. We certainly have
enjoyed working with all the authors in compiling this book. We
thank the numerous scientists who have served as reviewers, P.
Boisvert for typing the manuscripts and W. Bellows for
proofreading."
