This study addresses the U.S. Coast Guard's role in marine
environmental protection and costs to states of assuming
two Coast Guard marine environmental protection functions,
oil spill investigation and cleanup. U.S. Coast Guard data
for eight West Coast port areas have been used to perform
regression and other analyses to relate pollution sources and
causes to the number of oil spills occurring in an area. The
number of spills then are linked to costs of investigation
and cleanup within that area. Other considerations relating to state assumption of
marine environmental protection functions are outlined. A
grant-in-aid program may be established by the Coast Guard
to induce state participation. A possible fund allocation
formula is presented. It is based on maintaining the present
level of cost-effectiveness for the program.
