Field surveys to investigate the status of mangroves impacted by oil spills, were undertaken between December 1996 and April 1997. Nine sites were investigated, based initially on information supplied by the APPEA Research Working Group and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. The site locations surveyed include: Torres Strait, Queensland; Cape Flattery, Queensland; Yorkeys Knob, near Cairns, Queensland; Botany Bay, Sydney, New South Wales; Parramatta River, Sydney, New South Wales; Spencer Gulf, South Australia; Cape Lambert, Western Australia; Johns Creek, Point Samson, Western Australia; Withnell Bay, Western Australia. These sites included most of the sites around the Australian coastine where mangroves had been affected by oil spills between 1970 and 1996.

For each site measurements were made of tree and seedling condition, sediments were sampled for hydrocarbon analyses, an incident report was compiled using a standard format and information was collected on any prior studies conducted at each site (see Data Quality for further details).
