Summary

Introduction

Most oil tanker accidents occur near land. So when a marine oil spill occurs, it is usually not long before the spilled oil reaches shorelines. The shoreline is where the potential for harm to the environment and biological resources is the greatest, and where media attention and public concerns usually focus. Therefore, it is essential to determine the distribution, amount, composition, and fate of spilled oil on shorelines. This information forms the foundation for management decisions about cleanup during the early phases of the spill, assessments of long-term exposure and injury to biological resources, and long-term restoration strategies after the initial cleanup.

In this chapter, we consider the fate of shoreline oil following the Exxon Valdez oil spill, beginning with oil coming ashore in Prince William Sound (PWS) in 1989. This chapter picks up where Chapter 3 left off, describing where the oil was deposited, why some locations were oiled more than others, and how oil disappeared over time and why, in a few isolated locations, it persisted.
