    Annotation On December 9, 2014 approximately 94,000 gallons (78,271 Imperial gallons) of heavy furnace oil spilled into Shela River, which is considered as an important river of the Sundarbans mangrove forest ecosystems. This was the largest ever oil spill incident into the coastal mangrove forest ecosystem of Bangladesh Sundarbans. Vast number of ecologically important animals and plants populations is in great threats after this massive oil spill accident. The spread of oil and its biological effects is documented immediately. Intertidal mangroves plants, river grasses, algae, and associated invertebrates were badly covered by oil and some of them died soon after. The death of Irrawaddy Dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris), Oriental Samll-clawed Otter (Amblonyx cinereus) has been reported because of oil spill. The presence of White Rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) over the Sundarbans sky also indicated the large scale death of wild fauna. The secondary effect of oil spill is always much greater tha
