Abstract:
ABSTRACT On Tuesday, January 5, 1993, the tanker Braer laden with 84,700 metric tons of Norwegian Gullfaks crude oil drifted aground at Garths Ness, Shetland Islands. Over the next eight days, the vessel's total cargo of crude oil was spilled. The Marine Pollution Control Unit immediately activated the Marine Emergencies Information Room in London and deployed staff to Shetland. It was agreed with Shetland Islands Council to establish a joint response center at Sumburgh Airport to coordinate and control the shoreline cleanup. The incident affected an area of international environmental importance and also threatened the local economy. Because of the lightness of Gullfaks crude and the severe weather, the bulk of the oil dispersed naturally and very little came ashore. The land beyond the shoreline was polluted by airborne oil spray carried on the storm force winds. Aerial spraying of dispersant on oil on the sea took place on three days. Some environmentally sensitive areas were protected by booms and dams. Of the 39 sites considered at risk, only 9 beaches and other sites merited cleaning.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In January, 1993 on the southwest tip of Shetland the oil tanker Braer was wrecked, spilling 84,000 tonnes of crude oil and 1,500 tonnes of bunker oil into the sea. Heavy weather conditions dispersed almost all the oil into the surrounding water, producing oil-in-water concentrations near the wreck as high as 20,000 times background. Concentrations fell rapidly with time, regaining background values in 30–40 days. As surface slick formation was minimal and most seabirds were offshore at the time of the spill, seabird mortality was relatively light and seal and otter mortality was in single figures. Catching and marketing fish and shellfish for human consumption from the oil-contaminated area was prevented by the establishment of a Fishery Exclusion Zone. Oil concentrations in fish from this zone fell to background levels within 2 months of the spill. Shellfish were more severely affected, the most heavily contaminated regaining background levels within a year except for the sediment-dwelling Norway lobster, which still is contaminated. The impact on the intertidal habitat was minimal and most shores recovered within a year. Offshore benthic communities in contaminated sediments did not show evidence of being significantly stressed.

Abstract:
The otter population in Shetland has increased significantly between 1988 and 1993, with more animals being found on all coastal strata and in all parts of the archipelago except South Mainland, the only area to show a decline. South Mainland is where the tanker Braer grounded in January 1993 and the subsequent oil spill might have affected the distribution of otters there. The causes of the changes are unknown and it is not known what happened to the otters in South Mainland after the spill, but it is is highly unlikely that the large increases recorded elsewhere on the archipelago were caused by the movement of animals away from South Mainland.
