Fate and effects of marine oil spills : a discussion of the fate oil spilled at sea and the major impacts it has on marine plants and animals and coastal environments / [prepared by Duerden & Keane Consultants...: En40-233/1-1996E-PDF

Despite the many millions of tonnes of oil introduced to the world's oceans over the years, there is fortunately little evidence of build up of oil residues in the sea. This is due to a number of factors, not the least of which is the ability of the marine environment to disperse and assimilate oil"--Introd.
