Shoreline Assessment Forms
When spilled oil contaminates a shoreline, responders must survey the affected areas to determine the best response. Below are forms you can download, print out, and then use to record your observations during a shoreline survey following an oil spill. You can find more information about how to use the forms in the Shoreline Assessment Manual (see link in next section). In addition, a supplement to the Shoreline Assessment Manual, the Shoreline Assessment Job Aid, is also available in the next section.
