Oil in the sea III: Inputs, fates, and effects

This publication provides an estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, including an evaluation of the methods for assessing petroleum load and a discussion about the concern these loads represent. Featuring studies of the Exxon Valdez spill and other notable events, the book identifies important research questions and makes recommendations for the better analysis of, and more effective measures against, pollutant discharge. The book will be of use to energy policy makers, industry officials and managers, engineers and researchers, and advocates for the marine environment.
