OSTI ID:7113781

A number of catastrophic marine oil spills in the 1960's and in 1970 alerted the world to the hazards and impacts of marine oil pollution. In the same period, the emergence of other serious kinds of pollution sparked pollution control initiatives in many countries of the world. Environmental impacts associated with international development led to the undertaking of the present joint study on oil and other pollution in Indonesia's coastal waters. A survey was made of the impact of offshore oil exploitation. (GRA)
