study immune suppression in marine species; and (5) develop new genetic methodologies to establish origins and track the spread of exotic species.

One area of concern is coastal mariculture. As a conservation organization, we must ask about the consequences of growing shellfish in a confined area: · Because shellfish release chemical messages that coordinate and regulate reproduction at the population level, what effects do these hi~hdensity populations have on other naturally occurring species?

There is also a need to increase our understanding of marine community health and how we conserve community structure. · Is there sufficient marine biotechnology to date that identifies all the primary producers?

From page 153... ...
There is also a need for more professional educational outreach, for new partnerships between the basic and applied scientists and for partnerships with conservation organizations. These three sectors have their particular strengths that must be shared if the marine coastal regions are to be fully understood and protected.
