人们对美国海洋保护区 (MPA) 为何容易受到船舶漏油影响知之甚少。本研究调查了美国海洋保护区内船舶溢油的个体规模、频率和总量，以及海洋保护区的特征和个体溢油事件如何影响溢油。绘制了美国水域的船舶漏油事件（2002-06）和海洋保护区边界。计算了海洋保护区内外的漏油总数和漏油量。结果表明，海洋保护区的存在似乎并不能防止船舶溢油或减少溢油量，而且海洋保护区的各种属性（例如保护规模、捕捞限制等）和溢油事件特征（例如船舶类型、溢油年份等）都会影响海洋保护区内外的溢油。这些结果可用于制定海洋保护区规则和海洋运输政策，以降低敏感资源对石油泄漏的脆弱性。 (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Little is known about how marine protected areas (MPAs) may be vulnerable to vessel oil spills in the United States. This study investigated individual size, frequency, and total amount of vessel oil spilled in US MPAs, and how characteristics of MPAs and individual spill events influenced spills. Vessel oil spills in US waters (2002-06) and MPA boundaries were mapped. Total number and volume of oil spills inside and outside MPAs were computed. Results show that the presence of a MPA does not seem to prevent vessel oil spills or reduce the amount of oil spilled, and that a variety of MPA attributes (e.g., scale of protection, fishing restrictions, and others) and spill event characteristics (e.g., vessel type, year of spill, and others) affect oil spills inside and outside MPAs. These results can be used to develop MPA rules and marine transportation policies that reduce the vulnerability of sensitive resources to oil spills. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
