Birds Oiled at Sea
Entry ID:
gomc_327
Summary
Abstract:
Oil released at sea, whether from chronic operational discharges or
accidental spills, can directly kill any seabird that it touches on the sea surface. This oiling causes severe distress for individual birds and can have significant impacts at the population level. Marine oil pollution from chronic operational discharges is both illegal and preventable. The costs of taking ...  Purpose: Assessing the numbers of seabirds killed by oil at sea. Only a small proportion of birds killed by oil are actually found on shore, because many never reach land, instead being carried offshore or sinking. Others may reach the shore but are never found, instead becoming buried in the beach, decomposing or being carried off by scavengers. Estimates of the actual number ...
