Abstract: In the eleven years following the oil spill, a substantial amount of scientific research has been conducted on the impacts of the spill. Despite this wealth of information, there has been no comprehensive evaluation and compilation to determine which sampling methods and studies were or were not effective. This project will review selected studies and methods to assess which ones provided effective means of documenting environmental impacts. To ensure that the proposed approach will be effective, the project will be structured as a pilot project.
