N2 - This oil spill sensitivity atlas covers the shoreline and the offshore areas of West Greenland between 68º N and 72º N. The coastal zone is divided into nearly 200 areas and the offshore zone into 8 areas. A sensitivity index value is calculated for each area, and each area is subsequently ranked according to four degrees of sensitivity. Besides this general ranking a number of smaller areas are especially selected because they are of particular significance, they are particularly vulnerable to oil spill and, an effective oil spill response can be performed. The shoreline sensitivity ranking is shown on 37 maps (in scale 1:250,000), which also show the different elements included. These maps also show the selected areas. Coast types, logistics and proposed response methods along the coasts are shown on another 38 maps. The sensitivities of the offshore zones are depicted on 4 maps, one for each season. Based on all the information, appropriate oil spill response methods have been assessed for each area.
