Injured Resources Addressed: Intertidal Organisms, Mussels

Abstract: In 1990, intertidal restoration studies were established in Herring Bay in response to the T/V Exxon Valdez oil spill. These studies have continued through the 1994 field season and show continued injury to Fucus gardneri and the associated invertebrate population, especially in the upper intertidal. Data collected during the 1995 field season will be incorporated into the existing Herring Bay database and the rates and extents of recovery determined for injured resources.
