                                   INTRODUCTrION

       Section 8 of the National Ocean Pollution Planning Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-273,
    supplemented by PL 99-272 to include specifically the Great Lakes and estuaries of
    National importance) mandates that the results of Federally sponsored marine pollution
    programs be disseminated to all interested persons. In an effort to fulfill NOAA's
    responsibility under the Act, the Ocean Pollution Data and Information Network
    (OPDIN) of NOAA's National Oceanographic Data Center has compiled descriptions and
    characteristics of NOAA systems and services that archive pollution related data and
    information for the marine or Great Lakes environment.

          Initially, contact was made with all divisions, offices and branches in NOAA that
    were determined to possibly have data or information concerning marine or Great Lakes
    pollution. A worksheet was created to facilitate individual system/service description and
    future database keyentry. Copies of the worksheet were sent to the various division,
    office and branch chiefs (Sea Grant information was requested from the individual Sea
    Grant offices via electronic mail on OMNET). All those that responded are included in
    this publication. Other relevant systems and/or services may exist in NOAA however,
    no response was received.

          DATAEASE, a commercial DBMS package, was used to design a database residing
    on an IBM-compatible microcomputer to store the information gathered from the
    worksheet responses. The project worksheet responses were key-entered into the
    database.   The system/service descriptions and characteristics were exported to
    WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows for generation of the final edited publication, all indices
    and the table of contents. This database will be added to OPDIN's Automated Electronic
    System for Ocean Pollution (AESOP). AESOP is an automated, object-oriented database
    system which uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate access to OPDIN's major
    databases. OPDIN staff use AESOP for search and retrieval of information in response
    to customer requests.

          Corrections, additions, or identification of additional relevant NOAA systems
    and/or services would be appreciated. Information should be sent to:

    ABS'RACT:
          In order to provide baseline data on environmental contaminants in marine
          mammals and to provide tissues for retrospective analysis, the NMFS has
          initiated the Tissue Bank. Tissues will be of high quality, meeting a rigorous
          collection protocol. The program includes a QA Program that will include
          preparation of Standard Reference Materials that can be used by laboratories
          in conducting analyses of tissues obtained from other sources. The pilot
          project was conducted on pilot whales and harbor porpoises in the North
          Atlantic. The program will be expanded to include other species and regions

    TYPES/QUANTITIES OF DATA/INFORMATION AVAILABLE:
          Animal specific information on all tissues in the NMMTB will be part of a
           data base to be set up by the end of FY 1992. In addition to contaminant
          information, the data base will contain significant life history and medical
          information.

    TYPES OF PRODUCTS/SERtVICES AVAILABLE:
          In addition to the data base, the NMMTB will provide the following
          products/services: 1. The tissue collection protocol developed for the NMMTB.
           2. 6-8 g samples of tissues collected for the NMMTB to researchers who meet
           the tissue access policy. 3. Standard Ref. Materials that can be used to assist
           in analysis of non-NMMTB tissues (by end of FY 1992).

    HANDBOOK OF NOAA SYSTEMS AND SERVICES FOR MARINE AND GREAT LAKES POLLUTION DATA AND INFORMATION

    ACCESS/AVAILABI'ITY:
          Information from the data base will be generally available, tissues from
          NMMTB will be available to those who meet the tissue access policy, and
          Standard Ref. Materials will be available to any researcher or laboratory
          meeting professional standards.

    DETERMINATION OF DATA/INFORMATION RELEVANCE:
          Staff consultation

    APPROXIMATE COST:
          The cost for tissues from the NMMTB or for Standard Reference Materials
          will include tissue, the cost of tissue preparation, packaging, shipping, etc. on
          a fee schedule to be established by the National Institute of Standards and
          Technology with approval from NMFS.

    TYPICAL RESPONSE TIME:
          Because the program has not been operational, it is difficult to estimate. In
          order to obtain tissues, a research proposal will have to be reviewed by a
          scientific committee. When Standard Ref. Materials become available, the
          response time should be considerably shorter.

    ABSTRACT:
           The National Status and Trends Program was initiated in 1984. The two
           questions the program is intended to answer are: What are the current
           conditions of environmental quality in the nation's coastal zone, and are these
           conditions improving. The NS&T Program makes field and laboratory
           measurements of potentially harmful chemicals in fish, shellfish and
           sediments. Under some circumstances, monitoring can be combined with
           historical records to access the nature of changes.

    TYPES/QUANTITIES OF DATAJINFORMATION AVAILABLE:
           Benthic Surveillance Project: Chemical pollutant data since 1984 from 79
           sites nationwide (excluding Hawaii). Bottom fish and surficial sediments are
           sampled for more than 70 contaminants. Mussel Watch Project: Chemical
           pollutant data since 1986, from about 220 sites nationwide. Mussels and
           oysters and surficial sediments are collected and analyzed for more than 70
           contaminants.
