Download or read book Coastal Environments Oil Spills and Clean up Programs in the Bay of Fundy written by E. H. Owens and published by Environmental Impact Control Directorate. This book was released on 1977 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bay of Fundy has a coastline of approximately 1400 km. Within this region, there is a great variety of coastal features; six major coastal environments and twelve major shoreline types have been identified following a reconnaissance survey. The coasts of the Bay of Fundy are characterized by high tidal ranges and by the predominantly rocky nature of the shore zone. Tidal range exceeds 10 m in the Minas Basin and Chignecto Bay, where wide intertidal mudflats or sand flats and marshes are characteristic of the shore zone. This information on coastal features and shoreline processes is applied to an assessment of the expected impact and persistence of oil on the shore for each of the shoreline types. Guidelines and recommendations for protection and clean-up of the shores of the Bay of Fundy are presented and are related to the nature of the shoreline, the sediments, the shoreline processes, and the effectiveness of available techniques.

Download or read book Contingency Planning for the Impact of Oil Spills in Different Coastal Environments of Canada written by Edward H. Owens and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning for a cleanup operation of the shore zone requires consideration of the physical nature of the coast (including the sediment types), wave energy levels, and tidal range. Beaches exist in a dynamic state and are continuously changing in response to littoral processes. In addition to these temporal variations, there is frequently considerable variability of shoreline types and process characteristics within a small region. In eastern Canada, contingency planning must cover rocky shorelines, sand beaches, and muddy coasts. There also is a wide range of littoral process environments, from the exposed Atlantic coast to the sheltered Bay of Fundy, which has tidal ranges on the order of 10 to 15 meters. Three examples from eastern Canada illustrate the variability of shorelines and processes in the context of cleanup planning. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based sources. Public attention to oil spills has forced improvements. Still, a considerable amount of oil is discharged yearly into sensitive coastal environments. Oil in the Sea provides the best available estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, including an evaluation of the methods for assessing petroleum load and a discussion about the concerns these loads represent. Featuring close-up looks at the Exxon Valdez spill and other notable events, the book identifies important research questions and makes recommendations for better analysis ofâ€"and more effective measures againstâ€"pollutant discharge. The book discusses: Inputâ€"where the discharges come from, including the role of two-stroke engines used on recreational craft. Behavior or fateâ€"how oil is affected by processes such as evaporation as it moves through the marine environment. Effectsâ€"what we know about the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marine organisms and ecosystems. Providing a needed update on a problem of international importance, this book will be of interest to energy policy makers, industry officials and managers, engineers and researchers, and advocates for the marine environment.
