Detecting the anthropogenic impacts of offshore gas platforms requires reliable tools, because the traditional evaluation based only on chemical analyses is neither appropriate nor sufficiently sensitive.

Despite a large number of gas platforms existing in the Adriatic Sea, which is a semi-enclosed basin characterized by a slow turnover rate and increasing industrial as well as other anthropogenic activities, the effects of these structures on the aquat

The environmental effects of oil-based drilling mud cuttings have been evaluated using all the data available from monitoring around North Sea platforms.
To appreciate the impact of large-scale industrial operations on the marine environment requires a range of scientific studies which ideally should include physical, chemical and biological surveys of the various environmental compartments likely to be
Southwest Research Institute is presently managing a relatively large program in offshore ecology for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior.
The objective of the studies reported in this paper was to obtain facts about the present status of the sea life on and near two offshore structures and compare the quantity and quality of life there now with that which lived at the tower several years
Operational discharges of produced water and drill cuttings from offshore oil and gas platforms are a continuous source of contaminants to continental shelf ecosystems.
To investigate the effects of drilling discharges on the seabed fauna, surveys were carried out in the Beatrice oilfield after drilling 13 wells with water-based muds, and then after one and five further wells had been drilled using low toxicity oil-ba
