POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF OIL SPILLS ON SEABIRDS 



AND SELECTED OTHER OCEANIC VERTEBRATES 



OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST 



by 

 David S. Lee and Mary C. Socci 



Based primarily on data gathered offshore during the past 15 years by the 

 staff of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, this book 

 presents information regarding distribution and susceptibility to oil pollution 

 for 25 oceanic species: 14 birds, 6 mammals, and 5 turtles. An overlay can be 

 placed on range maps to demonstrate the proximity of species occurrence to the 

 oil lease sites off Cape Hatteras.
