Description:Present sources of fossil fuel compounds in Georgia coastal waters include marine transportation, sewage outfalls and atmospheric fallout. Possible future sources include releases from offshore oil production, coastal oil refineries and new industry. This report discusses in general terms the fate of spilled oil in marine environments. This is followed by a discussion of the fate and effect of a small (40 gal) heavy fuel oil spill on an acre of salt marsh on the Wilmington River, Georgia.
