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 mang 606 $aSea level$vCongresses 606 $aSea level$zPacific Ocean$vCongresses 606 $aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects$vCongresses 606 $aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects$zPacific Ocean$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSea level 615 0$aSea level 615 0$aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSea level$xEnvironmental aspects 676 $a551.45/8 676 $a551.458 701 $aNoye$b John$f1930-$015410 701 $aGrzechnik$b Marcus$0871592 712 12$aOcean and Atmosphere Pacific$f(1995 :$eAdelaide, S.
