Effects of an oil spill and freeze event on Intertidal community structure in Washington. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6029766
The objectives of the study were (1) to characterize the biotic communities of some of the lesser-known habitat types impacted (or potentially impacted) by oil on the coast of Washington; (2) to document the effects of the Nestucca oil spill on intertidal communities in a variety of habitats; (3) to document normal year-to-year, season-to-season, and site-to-site variation in abundances of plants and animals in unoiled habitats, this providing background information for future studies; and (4) to monitor recovery of intertidal plants and animals from the oil spill and from the subsequent freeze event.
