Abstract
The various contributions to the Discussion Meeting are related to general aspects of the subject, and some topics requiring further investigation are identified. These include the evolution and stability of fronts, and the processes by which cross-frontal and cross-shelf mixing take place. The relation of physical processes to the growth of phytoplankton in the vicinity of fronts needs further study. Among points relating particularly to the northwest European shelf seas are the influence of the oceanic flow at the shelf edge and the nature of the band of cold water, with its zone of enhanced biological activity, that occurs over the Celtic Sea shelf break in summer.
