NOAA librarians have developed a document entitled: Resources on Oil Spills, Response, and Restoration: a Selected Bibliography. This document has been prepared as an aid for those seeking information concerning the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and information on previous spills and associated remedial actions.
Various media products (web, video, printed and online documents) have been selected from resources available from the NOAA Library and Information Network Catalog (NOAALINC). Many of the resources included have been produced by NOAA offices and programs. The content of the Bibliography includes information sources concerned both with the harmful effects of oil and chemical spills to marine habitats and their associated living marine resources and with the cultural and economic impacts caused by such spills.
