ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



The Minerals Management Service wishes to express its sincere appreciation to 

 each of the workshop participants without whose diligence and cooperation, 

 this workshop effort would not have been possible. Further expressions of 

 gratitude are due to the Walcoff and Associates project staff for their 

 support in the coordination and logistics of the workshop, and especially to 

 the senior rapporteur, his staff, and the court reporter for their preparation 

 of the workshop summary synthesis and conclusion volume, and the transcript. 



Grateful appreciation is also extended to the members of the Minerals 

 Management Service's Branch of Environmental Studies and the Atlantic Region 

 OCS Environmental Studies Unit. Their cooperation and assistance prior to and 

 during the workshop aided significantly in the successful completion of this 

 deliberative approach to the resolution of complex and controversial 

 environmental issues.
