"Objectives for this project were to: 1) Monitor surface and subsurface oil at 6 previously established sites (armored beaches) along the Gulf of Alaska coast; 2) Assess boulder movement at the sites in order to investigate the relationship of substrate stability to oil persistence; 3) Determine the chemical weathering of the oil"--P. 4-5.
