The Nestucca oil spill : fate and effects to May 31, 1989 / by L.E. Harding, J.R. Englar.: En40-240-1/89-01E-PDF

"Following arrival of oil from the stricken barge, Nestucca, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, the BC provincial and federal Ministers of Environment asked for a full assessment of the impact of the spill. The Director of Environmental Services of Environment Canada's Pacific & Yukon Regional Office was assigned to coordinate this assessment. This report has been prepared in partial fulfilment of this responsibility. This report documents the distribution and movements of oil along the Vancouver Island coastline as a basis for further studies of the longer term impact. It also summarizes those environmental impacts that occurred, and could be documented, during this initial period"--Forward, page ix.
