The operation ran for three months (January-March) in 1991 and 1992 and consisted of (1) weekly surveys of Placentia Bay beaches, (2) sampling of oil from vessels using the bay, and from oiled birds and beaches, (3) ground and aerial surveillance, (4) a communications programs, and (5) experimentation to determine possible recovery rates of birds oiled at sea.--Summary
