Subject: On the evening of the 15th February 1996, the Liberian registered oil tanker Sea Empress ran aground off St Ann's Head on the approach to Milford Haven. The ship was laden with 130,000 tonnes of light North Sea crude oil bound for the Milford Texaco refinery, more than half of which was lost during the protracted and controversial salvage operation which followed. The final oil spill, almost twice that resulting from the Exxon Valdez, will have profound effects on the economy and ecology of South West Wales, and Prmbrokeshire in particular. The focus of this study will be firmly on Pembrokeshire; this is not to deny the impact of the Sea Empress on areas beyond Pembrokeshire but rather to set a definable limit to this study
