Chedabucto Bay 1992 Shoreline Oil Conditions Survey: Long-term Fate of Bunker C Oil from the Arrow Spill in Chedabucto Bay, Nova Scotia


The tanker Arrow, grounded in February 1970 in Chedabucto Bay, Nova Scotia, released more than 11 x 106 L of Bunker C fuel oil. This fuel was stranded over an estimated 305 km of shoreline, but less than 50 km of shoreline were treated during subsequent response operations. A field survey was conducted from June to September 1992 to locate and document any residual oil on the shores of Chedabucto Bay. This report explains the presence or absence of oil residues in Chedabucto Bay in terms of physical, biophysical, and biological processes that act upon stranded oil.
