Results from Cooperative Ecological Risk Assessments for Oil Spill Response Planning in Galveston Bay, Texas and the San Francisco Bay Area, California

摘要: ABSTRACT This paper summarizes the results of two cooperative ecological risk assessments (ERAs) that examined potential environmental consequences oil spill scenarios, in vicinity San Francisco Bay, California and one Galveston Texas. The goal evaluation was to identify optimum mix response options for reducing injury environment. For these specific participants concluded only dispersant use, assuming high effectiveness, had significantly reduce impact when compared natural recovery. While water-column effects increased with they were not long term judged be less significance than shoreline or water-surface impacts. Aside from cleanup effective clearly mitigating impacts, obviously would prevent immediate spills. viewed as involving some combination various op...
