| 1 Objective of the workshop
| |
NOWPAP (Northwest Pacific Action Plan) is now focusing
on bioassay as part of special monitoring of the marine environment.
This workshop, as a second series, was organized to study on how
to basically proceed with the activity concerning the development
and application of monitoring techniques, and to exchange information
on bioassay of the marine environment in NOWPAP region. The result
of the workshop is expected to contribute to NOWPAPfs activity relevant
to so-called special monitoring of the marine environment. |

The workshop recommended that the preparation for
a new monitoring program for which environmental toxicity test and
bioassay are made full use of should be started as prioritized task
to be tackled in future. |
