9 THE 1986 APEX HOUSTON OIL SPILL IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA: SEABIRD INJURY ASSESSMENTS AND LITIGATION PROCESS
Over a decade of biological and legal efforts to address impacts to seabirds from the 1986 Apex Houston oil spill in central California are summarized. This relatively-small spill (616+ barrels) was conservatively estimated to have killed about 9,900 seabirds, including 6,300 Common Murres Uria aalg...
