not lose sight of the overall scientific goal, which is to resolve major issues in oceanography
by understanding them at the level of the individual organism. These issues include global
fluxes of particles in the ocean, food web dynamics and mechanisms, effects of pollution and
more generally, anthropogenic impacts on the marine environment. In this regard, techniques
for individual cell and particle analyses will produce maximum results and understanding if
used in connection with the full complement of traditional oceanographic methods as well as
recently developed techniques such as HPLC, remote sensing and so on.
The meeting, which was held in Acquafredda di Maratea in Italy in October 1990, was made
possible by a grant from NATO Scientific Affairs Division which covered the major part of
the expenses. Other organizations also contributed financially to the success of the meeting.
These organization are: The Maurice Lamontagne Institute (a governmental laboratory of the
Department Fisheries and Oceans Canada), the Centre Saint-Laurent (a governmental
laboratory Department of Environment Canada), NASA (USA), ONR (USA), NSF (USA),
CNRS (France), European Economic Community, the tourist agency of Basilicata area (Italy),
Becton Dickinson, Coulter and Zeiss. I would like to thanks all these organizations for their
generous contributions.
The organization of a large workshop is a huge task requiring a lot of time of many people.
I would like to thank the organizing committee, Peter Burkill (United Kingdom), Sally
Chisholm (USA), Marlon Lewis (Canada), Donato Marino (Italy), Daniel Vaulot (France) and
Clarice Yentsch (USA). I would like to address a special thanks to Manon Laflamme (Canada)
who made a considerable contribution to the organization of this meeting. The staff of the
hotel Villa del Mare and particularly Mister Guzzardi and Sussi Travisano are gratefully
acknowledged for their effort in organizing all the social events and in making the stay of the
participants as pleasant as possible. I would like to thank Laure Devine for her help during
the editing process and Lynn Cleary from the Centre Saint-Laurent for her support.
