The oil slick formed may remain cohesive, or may break up in the case of rough seas. Waves, water currents, and wind force the oil slick to drift over large areas, impacting the open ocean, coastal areas, and marine and terrestrial habitats in the path of the drift. Oil that contains...
Marine environments are frequently exposed to oil spills as a result of transportation, oil drilling or fuel usage. Whereas large oil spills and their effects have been widely documented, more common and recurrent small spills typically escape attention.
study were thus to measure the earliest ecotoxicological effects (first days) of oil spills on marine biota, and additionally to test a number of tools that may enable rapid assessment of the biological availability and potential ecotoxicological effects of oil dissolved or entrained in marine water...

Microplastics are an emerging marine pollutant. It is important to understand their distribution in the marine environment and their implications on marine habitats and marine biota. Microplastics have been found in almost every marine habitat around the

In the present study, we used a field-generated ISB residue to study the acute and long-term effects on Northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) larvae and compared that to effects from the crude oil. Northern shrimp has been chosen as a representative zooplankton species of the marine ecosystem, ...
