Abstract
Chemical water-mass tracers are often employed to obtain knowledge of water movements and mixing rates. In coastal waters, this knowledge is essential for wise planning of municipal and industrial development. Tracers sometimes also can be used to establish the legal responsibility for a pollution episode or spill.
