Summary
|
Abstract:
The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) facility was built 18 miles offshore from southeast Louisiana to provide port facilities for supertankers to transfer large amounts of oil from tankers to interim storage facilities; this in turn provided linkage with other pipelines for distribution of oil to refineries. Because of the valuable resources located in this area, monitoring of animal and plant life along with selected parameters was necessary to evaluate and document impacts in this productive zone. Data from estuarine and marine samples collected by LDWF are included in this data base. |
