The oceans cover over 70% of our planet's surface. Their physical, chemical and biological properties form the basis of the essential controls that facilitate life on Earth. Current concerns such as global climate change, pollution of the world's oceans, declining fish stocks, and the recovery of inorganic and organic chemicals and pharmaceuticals from the oceans call for greater knowledge of this complex medium. This volume brings together a number of experts in marine science and technology to provide a wide-ranging examination of some issues of major environmental impact | 13 RS Chemistry in the Marine Environment Issues in Environmental Science and Technology editori .
