One of the greatest concerns regarding the use of dispersants deals with potential exposure of water column organisms to high concentrations of oil. While toxicity data on dispersants and physically and chemically dispersed oil have been generated for decades under controlled laboratory conditions, the practical use of this information has been limited by the lack of a centralized data repository. As a result, the Dispersant and Chemically Dispersed Oil Toxicity Database (DTox) was created to address that shared need of unrestricted and rapid access to toxicity data. DTox is a quantitative database that gathers existing toxicity data through a careful review and compilation of data extracted from the peer-review and gray literature. Through a rigorously evaluation of the quality of each data source, this database contains pertinent information including species scientific na...

It is accompanied by three national reports–for Mexico, Belize, Honduras, as well as database materials, GIS maps, and a spawning aggregation monitoring protocol. Since the accompanying documents serve as backup to this document, we have intentionally kept this document short and synthesized to facilitate its utility and the implementation of the recommendations, herein.
