Coral Reefs provides a clear review of coral reef biology and ecology based on the work of the author, Orla Doherty as a young explorer and scientist with the Biosphere Foundation’s ‘Planetary Coral Reef Expedition’.
This publication is a comprehensive review of the problems posed by marine oil spills and the potential response measures. It will benefit anyone involved in training programmes, contingency planning or actual response to oil spills. The publication contains numerous case studies, including a section on the Deepwater Horizon incident, which are underpinned by helpful photographs and diagrams.
The 1990 Conference on International Co-operation on Oil Pollution Preparedness and Response invited IMO to initiate work to develop an appropriate instrument to expand the scope of the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation, 1990, to supply, in whole or in part, to pollution incidents by hazasrdous substances other than oil and prepare a proposal to this end.
