Abstract
⺠We monitored for 1 year to assess the initial impacts of Hebei Spirit oil on the sandy macrobenthic community. ⺠The mean density and biomass of macrobenthic fauna continued to decrease until 12 months after the oil spill. ⺠Macrobenthic density at the most heavily affected sites increased by about twofold. ⺠The dominant species occurred at very low densities in strongly affected sites. ⺠Cluster analysis showed that the macrobenthic community at oil affected site differed significantly from the other sites.
