Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Oceanographic discontinuities (e. g. frontal systems, upwelling
areas, ice edges) are often areas of enhanced biological
productivity. Considerable research on the physics and biology of
the physical boundaries defining these discontinues has been
accomplished (see [I D. The interface between water and sediment is
the largest physical boundary in the ocean, but has not received a
proportionate degree of attention. The purpose of the Nato Advanced
Research Workshop (ARW) was to focus on soft-sediment systems by
identifying deficiencies in our knowledge of these systems and
defining key issues in the management of coastal sedimentary
habitats. Marine sediments play important roles in the marine
ecosystem and the biosphere. They provide food and habitat for many
marine organisms, some of which are commercially important. More
importantly from a global perspective, marine sediments also
provide "ecosystem goods and services" [2J. Organic matter from
primary production in the water column and contaminants scavenged
by particles accumulate in sediments where their fate is determined
by sediment processes such as bioturbation and biogeochemical
cycling. Nutrients are regenerated and contaminants degraded in
sediments. Under some conditions, carbon accumulates in coastal and
shelf sediments and may by removed from the carbon cycle for
millions of years, having a potentially significant impact on
global climate change. Sediments also protect coasts. The economic
value of services provided by coastal areas has recently been
estimated to be on the order of $12,568 9 10 y" [3J, far in excess
of the global GNP.

Twizzle is the story of my guardian angel, Mora. A hardheaded,
whiskey drinking, cigar smoking, motorcycle riding, card playing,
blues aficionado who felt at home in a kitchen or a smoke filled
bar. Mora lived hard and fast. Her lust for life drove her to try
and live it twice, once through her own years on earth and once
through mine. The lessons she taught and the lessons she learned.
The loved ones she brought into my life whether they walked on two,
three or four legs. My life became her favorite recipe. A stew of
family and friends added at the right times in life. A pinch of
adventure, a dash of heartache and stirred occasionally. She would
do everything in her power to make sure it was a deep and hearty
stew with a great piece of bread for sopping up the gravy. So do
like Mora would do at her favorite hangout, the Fore "N" Aft. Pay
your admission, get your hand stamped and come inside for a good
time.
