      <title>MECHANICAL PROTECTION GUIDELINES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/412504</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This manual provides guidance to Area Committee members on how best to employ mechanical protection methods, such as booms and barriers, when designing workable protection strategies. It gives guidelines for identifying and prioritizing areas with sensitive habitats, fish and wildlife resources, and human-use resources, including sample formats for mapping and describing sensitive areas that optimize maps' operational usefulness. The manual describes the types of shoreline protection measures available to protect sensitive resources, emphasizing the limits and requirements of each protection measure. Guidance is also given for developing site-specific protection strategies, including equipment and logistics needed, operational constraints, and physical conditions at the site. This manual is a planning rather than a response tool.]]></description>

      <title>INTERNATIONAL OIL POLLUTION R AND D ABSTRACT DATABASE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/405984</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Title VII of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 Established the Interagency Committee to 'coordinate a comprehensive program of oil pollution research, technology development, and demonstration among the federal agencies, in cooperation with industry, universities, research institutions, State governments, and other nations...' The International Oil Pollution Research and Development Abstract Database was developed by the U.S. Coast Guard on behalf of the Interagency Coordinating Committee on Oil Pollution Research to comply with this mandate. It is hoped that this exchange of information will reduce redundant research and encourage collaborative efforts.]]></description>

      <title>OIL SPILLS CONTROL MANUAL FOR FIRE DEPARTMENTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/9946</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The report was developed from field tests and actual oil spill control experiences of the Marine Division of the New York Fire Department. The information is intended to assist a community in protecting its area against oil spill damage. Operational procedures described are intended to serve as stop-gap measures, pending the inauguration of clean-up activities by the spiller or responsible Federal Agency. The manual concentrates on the utilization of existing fire department resources.  However, a limited amount of useful ancillary equipment was procured or developed.  Such equipment is described and its use is explained.  The manual describes common sources of oil spills and some ecological effects of oil pollution. Pertinent Federal laws and regulations are outlined.  Some feasible techniques for dealing with harbor spills are offered.  (Author Modified Abstract)]]></description>

      <title>DETERMINATION OF OIL LOSS RATES FROM A HIGH SEAS OIL CONTAINMENT BARRIER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/10109</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Field tests of a high seas oil containment barrier were conducted off Point Conception, California for the purpose of evaluating the barrier's oil containment efficiency under varying configurations and tow speeds.  Coincident ground truth measurements of soybean oil film thickness and remote sensing imagery were acquired during the tests in order to determine the time dependent rate of oil loss and thereby establish an oil budget.  Results of the study indicated that the barrier performed efficiently when towing speeds approximated .50 knots, adequately at speeds under 1.00 knot, while there was catastrophic failure at speeds over 1.00 knot.
