assessment focused on determining the state of the marine environment in the area immediately outside the Refinery and extended area to the north and the south, and also over the reef. It also assessed chemical pollution that could be related to refinery operations, and the biological impact of metals and petroleum hydrocarbons. The prime objectives of this comprehensive marine survey are to continue monitoring BAPCO’s coastal areas assessed previously to establish any changes in the marine environment since the last assessment conducted in 2011, and to provide a detailed environmental status report of the survey findings including recommendations to further improve the surrounding marine environment.
