Research paper and results concerning fish assemblages at petroleum platforms, which serve as artificial reefs, in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Results determined the scope of area size that the fish inhabited around petroleum platforms and what types of fish were most prevalent. Appendices provide data on the Current, Temperature, Salinity, and Oxygen Data Coincident for three locations: South Timbalier 54, Grand Isle 49, and Green Canyon 18.

A meteorological study of the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico in the interest of oil and gas extraction.

This report covers the observed environmental impacts of synthetic based drilling fluids (SBF) that are used in deepwater oil drilling. It is found that SBF tends to accumulate in the sediment which tends to exhibit low toxicity and effects the living organisms in various ways.

Summary describing the work completed at Science Applications International Corporation for the DeSoto Canyon Eddy Intrusion Study. It includes background information on the project funding and sponsorship, goals, methodology, and findings.

Report describing a study of the genotypes two plants (Spartina Patens and Spartina Alterniflora) that are tolerant to oil spills that have occurred in the coastal marshes of Louisiana. The research was to determine if these two plants could utilized for restoration and bioremediation of areas effected by oil spills. A plants tolerance to oil is determined by three factors: growth response and plant production, superior vegetative regrowth in soil effected by oil, and superior oil degradation potential.
