. The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf : oceanography and resources / edited by Donald W. Hood and John A. Calder. Oceanography Bering 1300 Summary and perspectives public outcry that would result from a major acci- dent from oil and gas development. These incidents historically have required or used relatively little scientific knowledge, but rather require engineering cleanup technology, communications, and time for recovery. The greater problems confronting science in the future are related to development of tech- niques for rational damage assessment—finding out the long-range effects of disturbances on any biolog- ical resource of interest and how much of a resource can be lost without preventing recovery, how signif- icEint contaminants get into the ecosystem and what becomes of them—along with the continuing pursuit of a basic understanding of the system that must accompany the application of science to any problem concerning human activity. This two-volume presentation considers only basic science, which these editors believed to be more easily documented without having to consider applied problems simultaneously. Now that this task has been accomplished, we are ready to use this and any other documentation available to consider the risks to this environment associated with oil and gas develop- ment. Our treatment here is not extensive, but will serve as an introduction to concepts and ideas impor- tant to those who will follow this work with various syntheses, impact statements, and plans for future research projects. LEASE SCHEDULE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES The Bureau of Land Management identifies six outer continental shelf planning units in the Bering Sea: Bering-Norton Sound, Northern Bering Shelf, Bristol Basin, North Aleutian Shelf, St. George Basin, and Navarin Basin (Fig. 71-1). No sales are currently scheduled in Northern Bering or Bristol Basin. There are four Bering Sea sales on the June 1980 OCS leasing schedule. At this writing, three of the lea
