The PREMIAM Conference - Guidelines, Co-ordination and Future Challenges
4th July 2012 — 09:00 to 16:30
Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Pollution Response in Emergencies
Marine Impact Assessment and Monitoring
The Aim
To provide a forum for scientists, regulators, responders and other professionals working in the field of marine oil/chemical spill monitoring to share experience, best practice and knowledge to the wider marine emergency response community.
To promote the use of sound science, co-operation and co-ordination in the design, conduct and management of environmental monitoring and impact assessment practices following accidental releases of oil/chemicals to the marine environment.
PREMIAM is an initiative supported by 18 government departments and agencies across the UK. This conference is part of a process to share best practice and engage with the full spectrum of industry, NGOs and academia in this important area.
The External Objectives
- Publicise and promote best practice in the application of sound science to monitoring and impact assessment following marine spill incidents.
- To hear the views of emergency response professionals charged with commissioning and conducting post-spill marine monitoring and impact assessment.
- To learn about relevant emerging issues new risk assessment approaches.
- To share best practice in the planning, management and conduct of marine monitoring activities following marine incidents and to learn from recent incident case studies.
- To understand the drivers and importance of quality post spill monitoring programmes from the perspective of key stakeholders: Regulators, Responders, Conservationists, Scientists, Industry and Fishermen.
- To learn about innovative and novel scientific approaches and their potential use in post-spill monitoring and impact assessment.
- To understand how post-spill monitoring fits in to the wider response, clean-up and advice activities following a spill.
