interpretation will be carried out by the Project Secretariat and all data will be made available to 

 participating Host-Country scientists. The Project Secretariat and the Field Scientific Officer will 

 provide technical support to Host-Country scientists as resources permit. The International Mussel 

 Watch Committee, in concert with the Project Secretariat, the Field Scientific Officer, and the 

 contract laboratories will provide final data interpretation, taking into account comments from 

 Host-Country scientists. For those scientists with analytical expertise, tissue samples will be 

 available for in-country analysis and inter-laboratory comparison. Host-Country scientists will be 

 asked to assemble production and use data from available sources in their respective countries.
