Abstract

This issue contains the proceedings of a major international conference on the management of the marine environment around the Shetland Islands, held in Shetland from 30 March to 1 April 1993, organized by Shetland Islands Council. The conference, which was opened by Lord Caithness, Minister of State for Aviation and Shipping, consisted of four sections, each opened by a keynote address (the papers by Arnason, Dijxhoorn, McIntyre and Stamp). In the original planning of the meeting. the four sessions were to be concerned with fisheries, ports and shipping, pollution and the abandonment of offshore installations. In the event, there appears to have been limited support from industry and government for the proposed session on offshore installations. Meanwhile, in the final planning stages there occurred the spectacular wreck of the Braer bound from Norway to Canada with over 80 000 tons of Gullfaks crude oil. Thus the offshore installations session was replaced by a session on the Braer incident.
