As author of the act, and as a resource manager, the author discusses the act. The discussion includes, the purpose of the act, the potential effects of the act, and the current status of state law. To understand the act one must understand the relationship of shipwrecks and historic shipwrecks, in particular, to broad based social, economic and environmental systems. The magic lure of gold and the evolution of state laws in the face of conflicting social values has left a ten year legacy of confusion. The act and the paper should contribute to sorting out the confusion.","PeriodicalId":435174,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS '88. 'A Partnership of Marine Interests'.

Important considerations for the early stage design of a SWATH ship are discussed. Differences in the range of feasible hullform geometries for coastal areas and unrestricted ocean operations, and for low speed vs. moderately high speed applications, are pointed out.","PeriodicalId":435174,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS '88.

The success of the recent studies has been due to an integration of physical and chemical sampling techniques which allows 1) tracking of sludge plumes for periods up to 1 day, 2) collection of hydrographic and current data to resolve plume advection and dilution, and 3) directed water sampling within the plumes for analyses of trace metals and organic compounds. optimum measurement tool for tracking sludge plumes is an in situ transmissometer interfaced to a CTD profiler and Loran-C navigation system to provide real-time, 3-dimensional information on plume turbidity.

With a small number of segmentwise ramping vertical velocities, including velocity reversals, the profile parametrization allows the computational determination of arrival point targeted eigenrays from a given source point to a specified arrival point.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":435174,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS '88.
