AB S TRACT Two offshore sites for a proposed Superport, off southeastern Louisiana, are evaluated for potential environmental impact on the coastal region. The most vulnerable areas along the coast are the estuaries. Oil drift projections indicate that the site more distant from shore would have less effect because a potential spill there would probably not reach the estuarine areas. Louisiana's estuaries are flanked by Levees and, on the Gulf side, usually by barrier islands. This configuration, coupled with a gentle slope, has produced a nutrient-rich environment that now supports over 4 million acres of estuarine marshlands--one of the world's most extensive coastal wetland areas. The climatic regime provides high solar insolation, abundant rainfall, and a wind system all of which interact with the physical setting in such a way that primary production supports the largest fishery in the United States. The principal fishery species are menhadenand shrimp, and they depend on the estuaries for a habitat and/or nursery area and for detrital food the product of marsh grass disintegration. Oil drift projections of hypothetical oil spills are based on a hydrodynamical numerical model using wind conditions, local tides, and bathymetry. At the closest site oil spills movedeither northwest toward Timbalier Bay or northeast toward Barataria Bay. Oil spills at the farther site did not impinge on the shorelines nor into the estuaries. Oil spills at both sites usually assumed an east-west orientation and moved somewhat faster than drift projections based solely on winds. Potential adverse effects resulting from an oil spill would be most severe in the estuaries. Oil could damage or kill extensive areas of marsh grass, thereby reducing or eliminating the most important food source for the major consumers, which are fishery species. This damage could be by direct contact with the top of th= plants, the root system, or the microbes which initiate the breakdown of grass into detritus. Most marsh fauna is located near the boundary between the grass and estuarine waters. Zf oil enters the estuaries, it is believed that it will concentrate in this boundary area and thereby possibly cause high mortalities of these forms and indirectly of the fishery species, inasmuch as detritus in the estuaries is used as a food source. The larval and juvenile stages of the fishery species use the tidal passes into and out of the estuaries as migratory routes, and if oil reached these areas mortalities could have severe effects on later fish harvests. Damage to the Gulf shoreline would probably be minimal unless the oil concentrated in the littoral currents, which are also us'ed as a migratory aid. The most severe effect off. hore would probably be damage to the spawning waters or grounds used by the fishery species. However, this damage would probably be low when compared with potential spill effects on est~aries because the size of the offshore shelf area and the large volume of water would tend to mitigate the damage. Regardless of the final location of the Superport, research should be initiated on the detailed hydrography and meteorology of the proposed site, the toxic effects of various crude oils on planktonic stages of fishery species, and the ef fects of oil on marsh grasses and microbes. vt, TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Ie ABSTRACT ~ a ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ iii I I ~ INTRODUCT ION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~ ~ A.
