However, for the complexity of testing process, marine environment and structure of the string, vibration and fatigue that occur in a deepwater test string are not fully understood.
It currently focuses on export and domestic trading of feed ingredients, food grains, marine products, processed fruits, coffee and spices.
Other member states bordering the North Sea and other European seas are currently involved in similar processes (for a comparison on processes of marine spatial planning related to ecosystem-based sea use management, see Douvere and Ehler 2009).
On the basis of the initial (3) and subsequent studies, it has been found that the major anodic process in marine sediments is the oxidation of sulfides (1, 6, 9, 10), whereas the cathodic process might be the reduction of either oxygen (2, 5, 9, 11) or nitrate (5, 12).
It is now possible to link processes to specific microorganisms in the environment, such as the detection of a new phototrophic process in marine bacteria, and to characterise the metabolic cooperation which takes place in mixed species biofilms.
A treatment process for marine sediment heavily contaminated with tributyltin (TBT) was designed that included dehydrating, sunlight drying and dumping processes.
Nitrification, a two-step process that includes the oxidation of ammonium via hydroxylamine to nitrite and then nitrate, is a key process in marine N cycling.
rSO4/rCl and rCa/rMg show low values reflecting dissolution processes of marine sediments.
Socioeconomic considerations are crucial in the design process of marine protected areas (MPAs).
This raises questions about the approaches and tools used in assessment and management of GEC processes, including marine environments.
