5. To determine costs of present and alternative methods 

 of control and treatment of both sewage effluent 

 discharge and stream discharge 



6. To identify and measure the value of other major uses 

 of the estuary including recreation, industry, 



bait fishing, and esthetic aspects versus use of the 

 bay as a sink and transporting medium for wastes 

 associated with urban development 



The nature of the problems associated with attaining these objec- 

 tives requires a closely coordinated inter-disciolinary approach. 

 For simplicity in presentation, the procedures followed in this 

 Study are described in relation to the several semi -independent 

 programs that are the respective special responsibilities of more 

 or less separately identifiable groups of investigators. It 

 should be recognized, however, that constant interchange of infor- 

 mation exists among these groups. The separate studies include: 

 1. Studies of the plankton of Kaneohe Bay; analyses of the diversi- 

 ty and structure of tropical zooplankton communities. 

 Included in this work is an attempt to understand the rela- 

 tionships with the open ocean forms and the interdeoendency 

 that exists. There would also be detailed analyses of trophic 

 relationships and energy flow, as associated with enrichment, 

 transport, and mixing.
