Description
4th Premiam Conference – Post Spill Monitoring & Impact Assessment
Looking Back and Moving Forward
PREMIAM is an ongoing project with a long-term legacy; it is being co-ordinated by emergency response and impact assessment experts from Cefas (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science).
The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for scientists, regulators, environmental advisors and other professionals working in the field of marine oil/chemical spill monitoring and impact assessment to share experience, best practice and knowledge with the wider marine emergency response community. This 4th Premiam conference provides an opportunity to reflect on progress so far and to establish the key areas that need attention to drive innovation and efficiency for the coming decade and beyond.
Objectives
• To reflect on the way best practice science and management have contributed to improvements in post-spill monitoring and preparedness.
• To consider the roles of all stakeholders in integration and collective responsibility.
• To share best practice in the planning, management, coordination and conduct of marine monitoring activities following marine incidents and to learn from the experiences of emergency response professionals.
• To consider the use of emerging science and technology in an emergency response context.
• To consider efficient and effective ways of achieving monitoring aims, including data sharing and availability.
• To look forward to future challenges and to establish where effort needs to be focussed to achieve better implementation of post-spill monitoring in the future.
