title: Monoc programme: Scientific substantiation of the integrated global ocean ecological monitoring system.
abstract: Man's exploitation of the World Ocean continues to increase both productively, i.e., utilization of fisheries and natural resources, and counterproductively, i.e., increased pollutant loading. This paper presents a scientific rationale for a global ecological monitoring programme which will address open as well as coastal waters.
