Abstract: This project completes work begun in FY 95 to determine the aerial extent, toxicity and origin of oil on selected Kodiak Archipelago shorelines. Most of these shorelines were last surveyed in 1990. The information about the remaining oil is necessary to determine whether recovery is proceeding at an acceptable rate, and to help local people assess whether the presence of remaining oil is still affecting shoreline activities. It also provides funding to develop information about future shoreline treatment in Prince William Sound.
