Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ecological Study of the Amoco Cadiz Oil Spill: Report of the Noaa-Cnexo Joint Scientific Commission; October, 1982
The wreck of the amoco cadiz in March 1978 released over tons of oil into the marine environment. As much as one third of the spilt oil may have been washed into the intertidal zone. The spill occurred during storm surges, thereby spreading the oil throughout the intertidal zone. Two years after the amoco spill, the wreck of the tanker tanio resulted in another oil spill that contaminated much of the same Brittany shoreline impacted In! The amoco cadiz. This study was undertaken to determine the fate of petroleum hydrocarbons within surface sediments along the Brittany coast with reference to the role of microorganisms in the oil weathering process.
