Download Free Oil Spill Response Atlas For The Southwest Coast Of Vancouver Island Book in PDF and EPUB Free Download. You can read online Oil Spill Response Atlas For The Southwest Coast Of Vancouver Island and write the review.

The overall objective of the atlas is to provide a synthesis of environmental information relevant to the planning and implementation of oil spill countermeasures in the coastal area of southwest Vancouver Island.
Scientists directly involved in studying the Exxon Valdez spill provide a comprehensive synthesis of scientific information on long-term spill effects.
Papers presented at the 14th Arctic Marine Oil Spill Technical Seminar, June 12-14, 1991, Vancouver, British Columbia, including behaviour and fate of oil, biological degradation and effects, activity reports and preparedness, computer systems, the legal and social context, risk analysis, in-situ burning, spill countermeasures, remote sensing and mapping, shoreline cleanup and recent spill incidents.
Proceedings of the seminar, covering the behaviour and fate of oil; assessment; activity reports from Washington State, Germany, Alaska, British Columbia and Michigan; remote sensing; countermeasures; in situ burning; bioremediation; biological effects; and shoreline cleanup.
This report provides an understanding of the dynamics and phsyical processes as they vary on the different coasts of Canada (including the Great Lakes), and a discussion of the likely fate and persistence of oil reaching the shoreline.
This report is the result of 4 months of public hearings in the coastal communities of British Columbia over the summer of 1989 on recommendations to reduce marine oil spill risks and to improve response capability. The report considers the problems of oil transportation and oil spills without regard for questions of jurisdiction. Prevention, response and compensation for damage are discussed.
This literature review covers the effects of spilled oil (crude & refined) and offshore petroleum development applicable to Canadian cold-water ocean species, ecosystems, and resources. The review begins with generalizations concerning spilled oil impact and then focusses on marine ecosystems & organism groups relevant to the cold ocean waters of Canada's distinct National Marine Conservation Areas Natural Regions. Topics covered include the conditions affecting oil impacts, the role of biology in spill preparedness & response, the effect of cold climates & sea ice on oil spill behaviour, oil effects on habitat, sublethal effects of oil, biodegradation of oil, and effects of oil spills on marine plants & associated communities, wetlands, invertebrates, fish, fisheries, sea birds, marine mammals, and cultural resources.
