| Abstract: | The fate and effects of the spill of Eleni V heavy fuel oil in May 1978 have been followed at two sites; one a heavily-polluted area subject to mechanical clean-up and one an undisturbed site where oil remains. At the first site the mechanized clean-up, and re-sorting of beach material by winter storms, has left the area visually clean of oil. However, near-shore and interstitial waters still contain high concentrations of Eleni V hydrocarbons 12 months after the spill. At the undisturbed site there has been very little change in the appearance and chemical composition of the oil during this period. |
