and the North Carolina/Virginia state line were conducted November 1991-March
1992 to determine the abundance of sea turtles in the area where a trawl
fishery for summer flounder was active and to relate the distribution of
turtles to physical oceanographic processes.

The primary goal of the work reported here was to thoroughly review the
original data pertaining to the age and growth of swordfish in the western
north Atlantic ocean. A second objective was to derive age-at-length curves
that would accurately represent growth of swordfish throughout its entire life
span.
Etkins, Robert and Edward S. Epstein (1982). "The Rise of Global Mean
Sea Level as an Indication of Climate Change." Science, 215:287-
289.
Rising mean sea level is a significant indicator of global climate
change. The principal factors that can have contributed to the observed
increases of global mean sea level in recent decades are thermal expansion of
the oceans and the discharge of polar ice sheets. Monitoring of global mean
sea level, ocean surface temperatures, and the earth's speed of rotation
should be complemented by monitoring of the polar ice sheets, as is now
possible by satellite telemetry. All parts of the puzzle need to be examined
in order that a consistent picture emerge.

Summary of The Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico United States:
A Regional Management Plan." Technical Report Series, No. 2, Part
2, Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi,
November, 20 pp.
This document lists the goals and objectives of the regional plan to
manage the shrimp resources of the Gulf of Mexico and to provide for optimum
sustained benefits for the nation. The fishery is described, shrimp producing
zones of the region are identified for preservation and improvement, and
statistics collection is facilitated. The plan promotes research in biosocial-economic
model development, development of a regional management plan,
and extension education of shrimp fishermen.
Etzold, David J., J.Y. Christmas, and Vito Blomo (1983). "Analysis of
Environmental and Demand Factors on Shrimp Production in the Gulf
and South Atlantic United States, Impact on Harvesters and
Processors." Report I in Assessment of Shrimp Industry Potentials
and Conflicts, Volume One, Shrimp Notes Incorporated, 417 Eliza
Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, August, 191 pp.
The basic purposes of this study are to review the relevant literature
and using the best available data provide estimates of the impact of these
environmental and demand changes on the future potential size composition and
volume of the harvest from wild shrimp in the South Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico. Also, to estimate the impact of future domestic supply from the
harvest of U.S. wild stocks on the movement of harvesters in and out of the
shrimp industry in the study area.
