Good morning from the Great Barrier Reef,

Here Corexit 9527 was recently used to disperse a slick resulting from the grounding of the coal carrier Shen Neng 1 on a coral shoal.
We also published a paper on the effects of Corexit 9527 - in this case the effects on coral fertilization and larval settlement in Acropora.

Negri AP, Heyward AJ (2000) Inhibition of fertilization and larval metamorphosis of the coral Acropora millepora (Ehrenberg, 1834) by petroleum products. Marine Pollution Bulletin 41:420-427

Cheers,

Andrew
