| 英文摘要 | Though relatively rare events, oil spills can have devastating impacts on marine resources. In this study, from August 2015 to December 2018, we monitor turtle strandings/mortalities as well as nearshore oil spills on the eastern coast of the United Arab Emirates to determine if they are linked. This involved 73 marine turtle strandings of four species and 17 oil spills. The results show an increase in stranding frequency after a spill enters shallow coastal waters. Months with lower oil spill frequencies had fewer strandings, while months with higher spill frequencies were associated with more strandings. 31.9% of all strandings were discovered within 10 days following a spill. Additionally, some of these stranded turtles showed signs of interaction with oil, including oil on and inside their bodies and positive buoyancy disorders. The results suggest that oil spill frequency may have an important influence on marine turtle health in the Gulf of Oman coast of the UAE. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd |
