BP Oil Spill: Potential Impact on Bermuda

Given the catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico with the BP oil spill and the uncertainty about the fallout, the Sustainable Development Roundtable (SDRT) decided to convene a public panel discussion on June 29, 2010, to bring interested residents together to share information, concerns and ideas regarding the potential impact to Bermuda.

On the panel were representatives from the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of the Environment & Sports, the Bermuda Employers Council, the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences and the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers.

Questions and answers from the audience focused on environmental and tourism issues, individual responsibility and the need to reduce demand on fossil fuels, and the importance of the insurance/reinsurance industry in Bermuda.

Look for it on CITV and let us know your concerns and the issues you think we should be discussing.
