Sensitivity mapping : a discussion of the development of sensitivity maps and their role in protecting the environment / [prepared by Duerden & Keane Consultants Inc.]. : En40-233/7-1997E-PDF
"Coastal zones are complex and dynamic environments representing the confluence of three very diverse ecological elements: the land, the sea and the air. In many parts of the world these areas are being subjected to numerous stresses as a result of expanding human populations, extensive and intrusive resource extraction activities, and increased marine traffic. Vessels carrying crude oil and its products represent a significant proportion of this increased traffic. As a result, the potential for oil spills has also increased, as has the consequent threat to the significant biological resources and unique habitats of the coastal zone"--Introd.
