*********** 062193A.ENV *********** Contributory Categories: BIO, CHM, PHY Country: Russia From: document provided by Dr. Yury N. VULKOV Director Far East Regional Hydrometeorological Research Institute FERHRI 24 Dzerzhinsky Street Vladivostok 690600 Russia FAX: +7-423-226-8436 KEYWORDS: Russia, Northwest Pacific, data base, ecology, marginal seas, monitoring, oil and gas, pollution Informational document on the available marine ecology and other oceanographic data available from the Far East Regional Hydrometeorological Research Institute (FERHRI) in Vladivostok from surveys in the Sea of Japan and off Sakhalin in the vicinity of the offshore petroleum development. The message has three parts, which slightly overlap: I. Marine Ecology introduction II. Data base on background Ecological conditions of oil and gas fields on the NE Sakhalin Island shelf. III. Data base on Chemistry, Biology and Pollution of the Peter the Great Bay. Three example figures of data plots are in the original document, which can not be transmitted, however the captions are given. I have suggested to Dr. Vulkov that he prepare a catalog with the material available, what form (disk, paper copy etc.), and suggested prices. He also would be interested in data exchange. FERHRI is the unit that operates the oceanographic research vessels in the Russian Far East. ************** END Msg. A.ENV **************
