Synopsis

Monitoring in the marine environment is selectively reviewed and illustrated by examples of programmes covering water, sediments and biota at both global and site-specific levels. Against this background the monitoring work at Sullom Voe is considered, and the optimal approach to oil terminal monitoring is discussed.
