(1) ; DIXON I. M. T. ; HAMILTON S. ; COORE D. C. Following the wreck of the oil tanker Braer, a study of the benthic fauna in areas of sea-bed contaminated by oil was carried out. The results showed that no significant changes in benthic community structure, as characterized by species richness, individual abundance and diversity could be related to the areas of sea-bed affected by the Braer oil spill........ http://www.shetlandwildlifesanctuary.com/The%20Braer%20Story.htm Hillswick Wildlife Sanctuary - The Braer Story On 5 January 1993 the event, which many had feared ever since the arrival of oil in Shetland, actually happened. The tanker Braer, on her way from Norway to Canada, lost power during a gale in the Fair Isle Channel and drifted onto rocks at the south end of Shetland.
