| Abstract |
A literature review and laboratory tests were conducted to provide a basis for analyzing the results of previous tests on surface treatment agents, compare agent effectiveness, and recommend agents for preliminary field tests. The surface treatment agents evaluated during the preliminary tests were film-forming agents, dispersing agents, and a surface collecting agent. From the results of these tests, two film-forming agents, polyvinyl acetate and xanthan gum, a surface collecting agent, and a flowing film of water were recommended and tested during full-scale field tests at Sewaren Beach, New Jersey. The results of the full-scale field tests showed that polyvinyl acetate provided both beach and marsh test plots with the most effective long-term protection. The toxic effects of the various agents on the Eastern Blue Crab and cord grass (Spartina foliosa) were also evaluated. |
