In addition several reviewed articles on important topics not covered by the papers presented at OAP 95 were invited. The articles in this volume will find an audience among coastal developers, marine biologists and environmentalists. They cover a range of topics including the efforts of long-term sea-level rise on coastal flows and its impact on mangSea levelCongressesSea levelPacific OceanCongressesSea levelEnvironmental aspectsCongressesSea levelEnvironmental aspectsPacific OceanCongressesSea levelSea levelSea levelEnvironmental aspectsSea levelEnvironmental aspects551.45/8551.458Noye John1930-15410Grzechnik Marcus1689521Ocean and Atmosphere Pacific(1995 :Adelaide, S.
