Abstract
This poster session presents a series of maps that portray oil-sensitive environments and wildlife in a color-coded format that has received wide international acceptance as necessary for spill-response planning and response. Some of the areas where this system of sensitivity mapping has been applied include Kuwait, South Africa, Indonesia, Panama, Nigeria, and parts of western Europe and North America (both Canada and the United States).
