Abstract

The Oil Pollution Research Unit (OPRU) has carried out 41 macrobenthic monitoring studies in 20 North Sea oil and gas fields over the past 13 years (see summary Table). These studies have included measurement of benthic sediment parameters such as particle size and hydrocarbon and selected metal concentrations to aid in the interpretation of biological data and for the characterisation of the behaviour and fate of organic and inorganic contaminants.
