Abstract
⺠Sediment hydrocarbon signatures differed between remote and impacted coastal sites. ⺠A natural background comprised terrestrial plant alkanes and petrogenic PAHs. ⺠Impacted sites reflected a history of petrogenic and pyrogenic hydrocarbon inputs. ⺠Hydrocarbons at some sites exceeded guidelines for the protection of aquatic life. ⺠Protected sea otters may thus be at risk as they rely primarily on benthic prey.
