Abstract
⺠Oil residues (SSOR) are sequestered in subsurface layers at some beaches. ⺠Beach features that promote sequestration of SSOR are not found where otters dig. ⺠Sea otters dig intertidal foraging pits in areas without SSOR. ⺠PAHs from SSOR are not being mobilized to contaminate intertidal animals. ⺠No evidence of exposure to SSOR through direct contact during pit-digging.
