Abstract
The framework used for environmental impact assessment for oil pollution in the very complex and highly sensitive environment of the Dutch Wadden Sea is presented. It consists of a four-step procedure, employs a systematic approach, and requires intermediate judgements and decisions. The results have been used to arrive at appropriate contingency measures in case of an F3 pipeline leakage to set priorities for protective and cleanup spill response actions, and to select the preferred and rejectable spill response methods in specific habitats.
