| The oil .pollution,resulting from the "AMOCO CADIZ" tanker spill on the Brittany coast of North Finistere-has affected a very large section of the western Channel, limited for the period covering March 30 to April 18 to the west by the 5°W meridian, to the east by the St-Brieuc Bay, to the north by the 49°20' parallel. The contents of hydrocarbons observed in sea water at different levels show that the whole of water column is contaminated by hydrocarbons and indicate very probably the pollution of the sedimentary phase in the areas, hited by the drifting sheets. |
