Report of the Study Group on Marine Pollutants
This report does not provide a comprehensive overview of all pollution issues that are relevant to the PICES community. However, it does give input to the broader PICES community on:• some of the priority pollutants in the North Pacific Ocean as identified by scientists from PICES’ six member countries.• some of the promising indicator approaches or 'sentinel species' that are being used within the PICES community, or elsewhere, and could be used more widely across PICES member countries.• some of the opportunities to share technical information on logistical, analytical, and/or field study methods in support of improved and/or standardized methodologies that could be used by all PICES member countries.The ultimate objective of the SG-MP was to design a proposal (plan) for future PICES activities related to marine pollution.
