| The wreckage of the tanker "AMOCO CADIZ" on the reefs of PORTSALL was the fourth oil spill in ten years on the coast of Brittany : it also is the largest known oil spill in the world. The patches at sea were driven eastward by westerly winds from March 17 to March 23. 140 Km of coast line was polluted. The oil spreaded more slowly towards the north west, south and north west where it spoiled some 375 Km of touristic sea coast and important fishing grounds. The coastline is six kilometers wide ; it includes islands and large reefs. The local tidal currents are very strong and reach more than three knots, during spring tides which may rise up to nine meters in a rough sea conditions.

| At first, the chronology of remote sensing flights organized by CNEXO, IFP and IGN is summarized. Secondly, examples of the most commonly observed phenomena along the coastline are presented. An interpretation of the various data collected is given for the area of Roscoff, taken as a model. This interpretation is extended to draw a serie of maps of sea and coastline pollution for several days between March 18 to May 26, 1978. The maps for the 18th and 21st of March are enclosed. |
