About IOPS
The mission of IOPS is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas
and information among the worldwide community of scientists involved in
marine pollution and oceanic disposal research. The meeting series, originally
called International Ocean Disposal Symposia (IODS), began in the mid 1970's
and focused on the scientific aspects of ocean waste disposal. At the conclusion
of 8IODS in October 1988, the series name was changed to the International
Ocean Pollution Symposia (IOPS). 1IOPS was held in Puerto Rico in 1991,
and 2IOPS was held in Beijing, China, in 1993. Click

has been sponsored by a host of international organizations. A list of objectives
and sponsors of 1IOPS and 2IOPS is available by clicking

3IOPS Symposium Objectives
*Enhance the scientific aspect of pollution processes in marine environments
*Generate recommendations and guidelines for future studies of marine pollution
research and monitoring
*Encourage scientists from developing countries to gain firsthand knowledge
that will be useful in designing research programs leading to a better understanding
of marine pollution processes and in developing practices in marine waste
management

Journal Publications
A special issue of the journal Chemistry and Ecology (Gordon
& Breach Publications) will be devoted to publication of papers meeting
review requirements of journal editors. Authors wishing to have their papers
considered for publication must bring their completed manuscripts to the
Symposium. Priority will be given to short (less than 10 journal pages )
well-prepared manuscripts. Specific manuscript requirements will be sent
to authors after their abstracts have been accepted. Click
