Subject: `Atlantic Islands, Offshore Oil and Development'
Planning continues for an international conference on `Atlantic Islands,
Offshore Oil and Development,' to be held in St. John's, Newfoundland, in
September 1997. It will be a component of the `Summit of the Sea,' part of
the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of
(probably) Newfoundland.
The conference will provide an opportunity for participants from
Newfoundland, Trinidad, the Shetlands, Orkneys, Faroes, Falklands and other
Atlantic islands, and academics, consultants, government officials and
business-people with related interests, to discuss the impacts of the
offshore oil industry and their management.
We are in the process of identifying potential speakers and would be
interested in receiving suggestions, expressions of interest and proposals.
Conference themes include:
Regulatory Approaches
Fiscal Management
Environmental Planning and Management
Economic Benefits Planning
Impacts on Traditional Industries
Cultural and Social Impacts
While focusing on Atlantic islands, presentations related to experiences in
other parts of the world would be of interest.
