The results of this research were to be published by the A3.lan Hancock Foundation and this publication "wi,ll be insofar as it can, a compendium of the findings of all persons working either directly within the project, or on the problem". To this end, we have summarized data available to us from government agencies, including the California State Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Game, the Federal Mater Quality Administration, and the United States Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Unfortunately not all of their data was available to us, due to restric- tions imposed pending several legal suits. We have invited others to publish papers with us, e.g., Robert L. Brownell, Burney Le Boeuf, and Barbara Drinkwater et al. We have referred to papers and reports not published herein and attention is drawn to the preliminary repcrt, on ecologica3. effects of the Santa Barbara Oil Spill submitted by E K. Anderson, L.G. Jones, C.T. Mitchell and W.J. North to the Western Oil and Gas Association, and to the report written for the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration now FWQA! by M Neushul entitled "Santa Barbara Oil Pollution, 1969; Final Report Dealing with the Early Stages of the Santa Barbara Oil Spill". Many oil industry personnel were of considerable assistance throughout this research. life are grateful for this help. By prior agreement, assistance and advice was provided only when requested. We have also had the benefit of advice and criticism of a Liaison Committee formed of representatives from outside the oil industry This included one representative each from the Federal Water Quality Administration, the Cali.fornia State Water Qua3.ity Control Board, the California Department of Pish and Game, and Dr. Mason L. Hill, who was an active petroleum geo3.ogist before retirement. We wish to thank all these gentlemen for their time, consideration, and advice. The investigations were the responsibility of Dr. Bernard C. Abbott, Director of the Allan Hancock Foundation. Dr. Dale Straughan was the pro!ect director Dr. Ronald L. Kolpack was responsible for the geology and oceanography sections of the program. Dr. 0. Bandy and Dr. D.S. Gorsline have provided invaluable assistance in the geology and oceanography work. Dr. J. Pozworthy, Loyola University, was involved in the initial planning stages of the bacteriology program. Papers in Volume I, Biology and Bacteriology, were compiled by Dr. Dale Straughan and edited by Mrs. D. Halmos, editor of the Allan Hancock Publications. Papers in Volume IX, Physical, Chemical and Geological Studies, were compiled and edited by Dr. Ronald L. Kolpack. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION On January 28, 1969, there was a blowout at the Union Oil well on Platform A in the Santa Barbara Channel. During the following weeks, as the company struggled to control and contain the flow of oil, large areas of ocean and waterfront were polluted. Efforts to contain the spill and protect beaches were hampered and often destroyed by high winds and seas during the stormy weather. Damage caused by oil was difficult to assess because of the unusually high freshwater runoff both preceding and after the spill, Overall, the period was one of confusion and dire predictions--confusion because people did not grasp the magnitude of the problem and lacked the technology to cope with it, which gave way to dire predictions when the situation was grasped and the people of Santa Barbara felt helpless. Many informed people predicted that the area would be barren and lifeless and no longer a beauty to behold. However, a year later, the out- look is more optimistic. Out of the initial confusion one can piece together the events following the spill, determine at least some of the effects the oil had in the Santa Barbara Channel, and assess what we have learned from this experience. Fixed drilling Platform A is located about six miles southeast, of Santa Barbara and six miles southwest of Carpinteria, California Fig. 1!. This is on tract 402, which is leased jointly to Union Oil, Gulf Oil Corporation, Mobil Oil Corporation and Texaco. Union Oil is the operator of A-21 well. Drilling began on the A-21 well, the fifth well drilled from Platform A, on January 14, 1969. At mid- morning on January 28, mud began to flow from the drill pipe while it was being removed from the hole preparatory to run- ning electric logs and later setting production casing. The events which followed are detailed in the Battelle-Northwest Report 969!. Fourteen to twenty-five minutes after the blowout, bubbles were noticed in the ocean around the plat- form and a large boil, several hundred feet in diameter, appeared about 800 feet east of the platform. Next day there was also a smaller boil, 30 feet in diameter, at the northeast leg of the platform, with lesser bubbling between the boils. Bubbles extended to 300 feet west of the plat- form. Eleven days after the blowout, enough drilling mud was assembled to pump into the well. The boils diminished to a few bubbles. When there was no evidence of leakage at the surface, the well was cemented and filled to the ocean bottom. Only a few small gas bubbles appeared under the edge of the platform. On February 12, 13, seepage increased and extended out to 800 feet from the platform. The slick from this seepage was 30 to 150 feet wide and extended one to two miles, Adjacent wells went into production in an attempt to reduce pressure in the upper sand zone. Attempts were made to cement fissures on the ocean floor. On Feb- ruary 16, Union Oil placed the first steel hood in position. This hood collects oil over a wide area, by accumulating it at the top of the hood, from where it is pumped off. On February 23, the boil at the platform leg predominated, with lesser bubbling 500 feet. east and 300 feet west of the plat- form, At the end of February, the boil at the northwest leg diminished and seepage along the east and west lines was renewed. Subsequent to this, Battelle-Northwest 969! states that seepage continued at rates up to an estimated fifty barrels per day barrel = 42 gallons oil!. Present seepage rate April, 1970! varies up to ten barrels per day. After the spill, oil accumulated at sea under the influence of the prevailing north-northwest winds. A storm commencing on February 4 and continuing through February 7 shifted the winds from a southeasterly direction clockwise to the west, Thus, on the night of February 4, large quan- tities of oil entered the Santa Barbara Harbor and heavy pollution of the mainland beaches began.

  • Bathymetry and Body Size in Marine Gastropods: a Shallow Water Perspective
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 237: 143–149, 2002 Published July 18 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Bathymetry and body size in marine gastropods: a shallow water perspective Kaustuv Roy* Section of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, Division of Biology, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, California 92093-0116, USA ABSTRACT: Spatial patterns of species body size across major environmental gradients are being quantified for terrestrial organisms, but similar efforts are largely lacking for marine invertebrates. Bathymetry represents a major environmental gradient in the oceans, and existing theoretical mod- els predict that species body size should decrease with increasing depth, especially for deep-sea spe- cies. Previous analyses of body size in deep-sea gastropods have shown size to increase with depth and hence contradict model predictions. In this study, I use data for 636 species of gastropods (in 10 major groups) living on the NE Pacific continental shelf to test hypotheses about processes that determine size-depth trends in marine gastropods. Results show that the gastropod family Turridae, a major component of both shallow-water and deep-sea biotas, shows similar size-depth trends in both environments but that predominantly shallow water families may show different patterns. In addition, size-depth trends may differ between clades and between different trophic groups. The implications of these results for better understanding the processes that underlie bathymetric trends in body size are discussed. KEY WORDS: Body size · Bathymetry · Gastropoda Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher INTRODUCTION relationships in the deep sea suggest that such trends may differ among taxa (see Rex & Etter 1998 for a Body size is considered to be one of the most impor- review).
