The objective was to see if there were changes caused by pollution from an oil refinery - the Irving Oil Refinery in East Saint John released most of its chemical wastes into Saint John Harbour through a pipeline terminating near the tip of Courtenay Bay breakwater (near survey station X). The refinery started up in stages from late March to mid-June 1960 by which time it was in full operation. Species distribution information associated with this study were digitized, standardized and republished as part of the Atlantic Coastal Zone Information Steering Committee (ACZISC) Atlantic Ecosystem Initiative (AEI) funded project “Atlantic Canada’s Biological Data for Ecosystem Planning and Decision-making” and OBIS Canada.
