produced liigh resolution photos and broad coverage for a qualitative analysis of nearshore 

 processes. Analysis of successive photos of dye patches determined wrater movements. 

 Problems in developing the balloon system and plans for improvement are discussed. 

 Potential use of the system for other remote sensors and the development of quantitative 

 study techniques are noted.

Paper describes characteristics of a color film developed by the GAF Corporation 

 (Anscochrome) for the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office. To improve depth penetration 

 cafjabibty, the film is produced without the upper blue-sensitive emulsion layer. The film is 

 insensitive to blue wavelengtlis which are susceptible to aerial and underwater scattering, 

 and has a higher speed, faster processing and drying, and higher resolution. Data on the 

 properties and processing characteristics of the film are presented. Tests were conducted 

 with the new film to determine its advantages and disadvantages; its designation is SS48895.

Article discusses a procedure for computing the historical location of the shoreline from 

 photos. Technique is an analytical photogrammetric approach accommodating photos of 

 different scale and relating the shoreline location to known ground points. Data are 

 presented on shoreline changes of Monterey Bay from measurements on 12 sets of photos 

 taken between 1929 and 1967. A method for correcting the shoreline location on the 

 photos for tidal stage is included. This technique is best for short sections of shoreline.

Article discusses the use of photos in coastal and shallow water ecology, and the difficulty 

 of conducting surveys of shallow water biota. Distribution of bottom conditions and 

 vegetation in an example photo of the Bahama Banks is presented. Suggestions are given for 

 taking photos of shallow water areas. Importance of selecting the proper film and filter 

 combination for a particular situation is also discussed. Article states that photos can be 

 used for nearshore ecological data.
