 APPEAL TO GULF STBTJS ON SHIPPING LANES
 The UN has urged the Gulf states to    
 introduce tighter environmental checks 
 to cut pollution in sea lanes which    
 carry half the world's oil exports.    
                                        
 UN shipping watchdog the International 
 Maritime Organisation said protecting  
 the marine environment was costly but  
 not protecting it would cost more.     
                                        
 Speaking at a conference on Gulf marine
 pollution, the IMO's Hemming Brathaug  
 said if fish died out the effect on    
 local economies could bj devasting.    
                                        
 The IMO would like all the G4lf States 
 to sign a pollution accord.
