Abstract: The EVOS directly affected the scientific and recreational values and wilderness characteristics of shorelines of Kenai Fjords and Katmai National Parks. The oil reaching these sites after the EVOS was in the form of mousse. This study offers an opportunity to look at the longer term degradation of oil in mousse form, which is more resistant to degradation. These degradation rates could differ substantially from the degradation rates of oil in Prince William Sound (PWS). To ensure comparability of data, the methods and locations established as study sites for the 1992 National Park Service study will be duplicated. Oil samples will be taken from established sites and analyzed for hydrocarbon contamination. Analysis results will then be compared with prior sampling results to assess chemical and physical degradation rates.
