description: This report evaluates present understanding of the sources and sink functions of estuaries and shelf seas and their importance in the transfer of material to the open ocean by comparing various geographical systems from a multidisciplinary point of view. Special attention is paid to the sources, cycles, and sinks of biogeochemical constituents relevant to the assessment of the impact of waste inputs, land use and changes of river flow.
