Abstract
Recent major oil spillage intentionally made in Gulf war as well as past accidental releases prove that the oil spillage can cause severe adverse effects on water, air and social environment by damaging fishes, plankton and other organisms, sea birds, tourist beaches and shorelines etc. It is, therefore, important to know the nature of oil spill spread on the shore and the time available for deployment of contingent measures for combating oil pollution.
