A new shoreline cleaner, which was specially developed during the cleanup of the Valdez spill in Alaska, was tested to determine its effectiveness in removing oil from Louisiana Gulf Coast marsh grass thus minimizing the oil impact. Intact plugs of Spartina alterniflora containing living plants, roots, and soil microbial communities were collected from salt marshes and transferred to a greenhouse. Plant photosynthesis, respiration, and stomatal conductance were monitored following various oiling and cleaning scenarios. The treatments included: oiled, oiled and cleaned after one day, oiled and cleaned after two days, cleaner only, and control. Plant recovery depended upon the degree of oiling and the type of oil used. Fouling with bunker C oil caused almost total plant mortality unless the plants were cleaned with the shoreline cleaner. South Louisiana crude oil was less toxic but cleaning accelerated recovery as was evident by photosynthetic activity and other plant functions such as regeneration of new shoots. Collectively, these studies demonstrate the potential for saving an oiled Spartina alterniflora marsh by use of this shoreline cleaner in a real oil spill.
