Distribution of tar balls on the beaches of Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas / by J.P. Coakley.: En36-522/77-1976E-PDF
"Tar balls, or stranded lumps of weathered petroleum residues, have been found on beaches along the south shore of Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas. The quantities measured average 24 g/m2 at the High Water Mark. The distribution of tar balls along the shore shows a high degree of variability which is apparently not directly related to selected beach parameters, geographic location, or proximity to crude oil transshipment facilities"--Abstract.
