The salvor, as an emergency responder, must expand his activities and participate in pollution control and response, at least in the immediate area of the casualty.

Deeper recoveries, and envi- ronmentally sensitive removal of oil, much of it from historic casualties, are an expanding market. The demand for salvage response posed by security threats in our ports is real and has been identified. In short, the need for the salvor is still an ever important and con- tinuing requirement in the United States.
