On the 26th of March 2023 a large reservoir fluid spill occurred (totalling 31,000 Litre) from a Perenco pipeline in Poole Harbour, Dorset. This spill spread across the harbour and became particularly concentrated on the marshes of Brownsea Island - a nationally important juvenile fish nursery. This oil spill brings about several urgent opportunities that the team are uniquely positioned to deliver on; that is, i) to ascertain the effects of the spill on fish health and nursery ground productivity in 2023/24 based on a BACI design, as we have sampled these and nearby sites in 2022; ii) to collect unique polluted fish tissue samples to the UKs first juvenile bass tissue bank, and an invertebrate tissue bank and associated analysis; iv) to document the spatio-temporal response of the in-situ microbial community, particularly hydrocarbon-degrading microbes. In order to achieve these objectives, we require urgent funding to integrate these objectives into the 2023 field season of several research teams. Building on our initial analysis and findings, we will develop a proposal to examine multi-trophic responses to marine oil spills and ecosystem recovery.

2023年3月26日，来自多塞特郡普尔港的一条Perenco管道发生了大型储液液溢出（总计31,000升）。这种溢出物遍布整个港口，特别集中在布朗西岛的沼泽地上，布朗西岛是一个重要的少年鱼类托儿所。这次石油漏油带来了团队独特地实现的几个紧急机会。也就是说，i）确定2023/24年泄漏对鱼类健康和托儿所地面生产力的影响，因为我们在2022年对这些和附近的地点进行了采样； ii）将独特的污染鱼组织样品收集到UK的第一个少年低音组织库，以及无脊椎动物组织库及相关分析； iv）记录原位微生物群落的时空反应，尤其是碳酸碳纤维微生物。为了实现这些目标，我们需要紧急资金将这些目标整合到几个研究团队的2023实地季节中。在我们的初步分析和发现的基础上，我们将制定一项建议，以检查对海洋漏油和生态系统恢复的多营反应。
