/ The purpose of this brochure is to provide information about oil spills. It outlines what oil spills are, their potential effects on the environment, how they are cleaned up, and how various agencies prepare for spills before they happen. Details about several oil spills and the resulting cleanup operations are provided to offer examples of the complexities involved in oil spill cleanup activities. Individual chapters of the Understanding Oil Spills and Oil Spill Response booklet are available for download in Portable Document Format (PDF) below. Click on a section title to download it.

/ The Oil Spill Response plan specifies actions to be taken by CWS Atlantic Region in the event of an oil spill or the presence of oiled migratory birds. Both large and small events are addressed, with no attempt to concentrate on the "mega-spill". This plan does not replace any element of the REET Atlantic Region Contingency Plan (1999), but elaborates and complements those parts of it which pertain to migratory birds.
