Title
1987 Oil Spill Conference
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1987
Scope:
FOREWORD
This, the 1987 Oil Spill Conference, is our tenth biennial meeting.
Our efforts to share the knowledge needed to understand the
prevention, behavior, control, and cleanup of oil spills now span two
full decades of experience.
Today's conference is a major international forum with representatives
from many countries around the world in attendance. As in the past,
the conference continues to remain responsive to a changing
environment. The focus has been broadened to address not only response
to and cleanup of surface water spills, but also new areas of
leadership in oil spill response and prevention as they emerge.
Sessions at this conference will take an in-depth look at damage
assessment, underground spills, a more responsible use of dispersants,
and community involvement in response to spill incidents. Moreover,
environmental professionals today find themselves taking a more
proactive stance, rather than a reactive one, in the response to oil
spills and their prevention.
The sponsoring organizations--the United States Coast Guard, the
American Petroleum Institute, and the Environmental Protection
Agency--have provided leadership and guidance in a cooperative effort
between industry and government to provide a varied program of
timeliness and technical merit for this conference. Planning has been
ongoing for nearly all of the two years since the last meeting.
We hope that the knowledge and contacts developed at this conference
will influence your decision to participate in the eleventh biennial
Oil Spill Conference to be held in San Antonio, Texas, in 1989.
