This volume is based on the proceedings of a conference held at
Florida State University in April, 1978. This conference was
supported by the Florida State University Graduate Research
Council, the Department of Biological Science (F. S. U. ), and the
Center for Professional Development and Public Service. Particular
recogni tion should be made of the efforts of Dr. Anne Thistle in
the organization of the conference and the completion of this book.
Julia K. White and Sheila Marrero produced the typescript. The
principal objective of the conference was to assemble a group of
marine scientists from diverse disciplines to discuss the state of
marine ecology with particular attention to new research directions
based on previous studies. Emphasis was placed on the integration
of different research approaches and on the application of
established procedures to various environmental problems. An effort
was made to eliminate traditional disciplinary boundaries which
often hinder our understanding of marine systems. There was
generally wide latitude for review and speculation concerning such
topics as physico-chemical processes, productivity and trophic
interactions, population distribution and community structure, and
natural or anthropogenic disturbance phenomena. Throughout, the
usual miniaturization of the scope of discussion was subordinate to
a frank appraisal of the present status of marine research.
Although many introductory ecological texts stress the so called
ecosystem approach, individual marine research projects seldom
encompass this broad course. There is, in fact, a real need for
system-wide studies at both the theoretical and applied levels."
