STRATEGIES FOR PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT
The SEAREX Program is an outgrowth of several components of the
Pollutant Transport Program (PTP) of the NSF/IDOE Environmental Quality
Program.
During the second PTP Workshop at Skidaway Institute of Oceano-
graphy in January, 1976, it was recommended that the study of pollutant
transport into the ocean could perhaps be best structured around a series
of investigations of the fluxes and processes of exchange across the major

ocean/transport path interfaces, i.e., ocean/air; ocean/river; ocean/sediment;
and ocean/biota.
This concept was formalized by the NSF/IDOE Office during
the summer of 1976 in a white paper entitled "Toward a New NSF/IDOE/EQ
Program in Marine Pollution Studies”.
In late summer, 1976, three of the PTP investigators (Duce, Goldberg,
Patterson) studying sea/air exchange processes met in Paris to discuss a
coordinated sea/air exchange program and strategies necessary to develop a
