DISPERSANTS PANEL DISCUSSION
Should the current restrictions on dispersant use be challenged in the light of
experimental experience? Do depth restrictions unreasonably inhibit use of

limits of effectiveness constitute success when considering dispersant use?
Panel Participants: Dr Jacqueline Michel President, Research Planning Inc, USA;
Paul Schuler, President, Clean Caribbean
& Americas, USA; Alun Lewis, Oil Spill Consultant, UK, and; François Merlin, Head Research & Development, CEDRE, France
