This year in Halifax we had about 180 people. Probably 60 of those are Canadian federal researchers and regulators. About 25% of our attendance is from U.S. federal agencies, academia, major spill research organizations: SINTEF in Norway would be there, Cedre from France would be there. The International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation will send people there, because they too want to learn about spill response technologies.
