The  following "Key" does not explain  
                all monster sightings, particularly some of the early "close encounters" but 
                it does represent the known background to investigations in the latter three decades of the 20th century. 
                Visitors to Loch Ness may find it of interest. The pictures 
                are mainly from misleading monsters" section, of the Loch Ness 
                2000 Exhibition in Drumnadrochit. Further illustrations 
                are from the collection of Richard Carter and other individuals.  
                 
                We would 
                very much welcome additions to the Key, based on individual 
                experiences and any pictures which may illustrate them. 
                Needless to say, we would be even more interested in sightings 
                which might not be explained in these ways | 
              It 
                  was recently announced that Scottish Natural 
                  Heritage (SNH) was forming a Loch Ness Environment 
                  Panel........with a view to developing 
                  a code of practice for visiting monster hunters 
                  who might inadvertently cause damage to the 
                  loch's habitats, or individual creatures within 
                  it. This move was prompted by the proposal 
                  of a Swedish monster hunter and ufologist 
                  Jan Sundberg, to place a 6m long creel trap 
                  in Loch Ness. The SNH area manager Jonathan 
                  Stacey, made it clear that they had no policy 
                  on Nessie as such and the prime aim was to 
                  "protect the known from those pursuing the 
                  unknown".
