The effects of oil spills on our native intertidal organisms are virtually unknown. For some years before and since a major oil spill in Sydney, 1999, we have conducted impact and recovery studies on rock platform species assemblages of Port Jackson. Results show impacts at both community and individual species levels. This project aims to answer important questions arising from this work and would allow: (1) to establish a cause and effect relationship between oil exposure and Australian invertebrate species responses(2) generate quantitative chronic and acute oil impact data on invertebrate species at a range of oil exposures and best practice amelioration, (3) generation of the first toxicological data of the impact of oil pollutants on Australian estuarine invertebrates, (4)investigation of possible early-warning biomarkers of oil exposure, and (5) rapid assessment monitoring procedures for future environmental management of our estuarine systems.

石油泄漏对我们本土潮间带生物的影响几乎是未知的。 在悉尼，1999年的重大石油泄漏之前和之后的几年里，我们对杰克逊港的岩石平台物种组合进行了影响和恢复研究。结果表明，在社区和个别物种的影响。 该项目旨在回答这项工作中出现的重要问题，并将允许：（1）确定石油暴露与澳大利亚无脊椎动物物种反应之间的因果关系（2）在一系列石油暴露和最佳做法改善情况下，生成无脊椎动物物种的慢性和急性石油影响定量数据，（3）第一批关于石油污染物对澳大利亚河口无脊椎动物影响的毒理学数据的产生，（4）对石油暴露的可能的早期预警生物标志物的调查，及（5）为本港河口系统未来的环境管理而制订的快速评估监测程序。
