the length of time adrift.) Combined with results of Recommendation 

 Item 1, the type and extent of contamination can be predicted and hence 

 the proper manpower/equipment can be mobilized for the appropriate cleanup 

 procedure. 



5. Effective Beach and Harbor Oil Barrier. Because of huge expendi- 

 ture involved, removing the spilled oil from water surface is preferrable 

 to cleaning the beach after it is contaminated. For this reason, it is 

 useful to study whether it is feasible to protect beaches from oil con- 

 tamination using mechanical barriers.
