Sensitivity, Exposure, and Vulnerability of Gravel Beaches to Petroleum Pollution, Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada
Environmental Problems in Coastal Regions VI 225 Sensitivity, exposure, and vulnerability of gravel beaches to petroleum pollution, Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada N. Catto & B. Etheridge Memorial University, St. John’s NL, Canada Abstract The Avalon Peninsula lies directly adjacent to a major trans-Atlantic shipping route, and to offshore petroleum development and areas of ongoing exploration. The cultural and socio-economic significance of the established fisheries, increased tourism, and endemic petroleum pollution exemplified by the arrival of oiled seabirds on the Avalon beaches, indicate that the potential impact of petroleum contamination is significant. Study of gravel beaches showed differences in morphology, sedimentology, energy regime, and sediment transport. These characteristics change the fate and effect of petroleum contamination on each beach. Beaches have been ranked on their sensitivity to oil pollution based on their physical characteristics. The beaches are gravel dominated, reflective systems, with sediment transport varying from shore normal on some beaches to both shore normal and shore parallel transport on others. The movement of sediment, litter, and seaweed in the nearshore and beach environments provides analogies for how oil will behave. Lower energy beaches will not self-clean as well as the high energy, steeper sloping, highly reflective beaches, and are thus more sensitive to pollution. Petroleum contamination potentially can come from both offshore and terrestrial sources. For a particular beach, the risk of contamination depends upon the population demographics, socio-economic circumstances, type and intensity of economic activity, location with respect to shipping lanes and petroleum development, transport regime, and beach dynamics. The degree of exposure to potential petroleum contamination from both offshore and terrestrial sources has been categorized, and forms a basis for assessment of the risk of contamination on each beach. -
