Research in to the Bioremediation of Oil Spills in Tropical Australia: with particular emphasis on oiled mangrove and salt marsh habitats
National Plan Research, Development & Technology
This three-year project assessed short term effects of commonly transported oils and in situ bioremediation on tropical Australian mangrove and salt marsh habitats. Field work on the project was conducted at Port Curtis near Gladstone in Queensland.
Findings from these studies form the basis for improved guidelines and recommendations for the cleanup and restoration of oiled mangrove habitat around Australia, and elsewhere.
The project was conducted by the Australian Institute of Marine Science and AEA Technology (UK) with assistance from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the Energy Research and Development Corporation and Shell Research Ltd (UK).
