Environmental Recovery in Prince Previous HitWilliamNext Hit Sound and the Gulf of Alaska

BAKER, JENIFER M., Biological Consultant, Shrewsbury, U.K., ROBERT B. CLARK, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle, U. K., and PAUL F. KINGSTON, Institute of Offshore Engineering, Edinburgh, Scotland

This report is based on work commissioned by Exxon as part of a program of analyzing the ecosystem recovery process in Prince Previous HitWilliamNext Hit Sound and the Gulf of Alaska following the oil spill of March 1989.

Written by three distinguished scientists, it supplements a comprehensive study they and a fourth researcher prepared on the subject of "Natural Recovery of Cold Water Marine Environments after an Oil Spill." This scientific review was presented at the 13th Arctic and Marine Oilspill Program Technical Seminar sponsored by the Canadian Government in Edmonton, Alberta, on June 6, 1990.

As a followup to this study, the scientists spent two weeks in April 1990 gathering insight into the Prince Previous HitWilliamTop Sound and Gulf of Alaska environment as a whole and examining plant and animal life in the area. They compared their Alaska findings to their knowledge gained from studying the recovery process from other oil spills in cold waters of the world.

The scientists, all from the United Kingdom, are: Dr. Jenifer M. Baker, a biological consultant who works on oil-pollution problems for conservation organizations, corporations, and government agencies throughout the world. Dr. Robert B. Clark, zoology professor emeritus at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, author of the textbook Marine Pollution and editor of the international journal Marine Pollution Bulletin. Dr. Paul F. Kingston, a marine biologist and assistant director of the Institute of Offshore Engineering in Edinburgh, Scotland.
