Evaluation of 2006 M/T Solar 1 Oil Spill in the Guimaras Strait
Topic: “An evaluation of the 2006 MT Solar 1 oil spill at the Guimaras Strait”
Statement of the problem: The 2006 MT Solar 1 oil spill at the Guimaras Strait spilt 2.1 million liters of bunker oil into the sea. The immediate ecosystems have been direly affected.
Background of the study: The researchers are rooting for this topic ever since it came to their thoughts. They are optimistic that this topic will be approved as they have the means to conduct this study: One of their group mates in conducting this study has a residence in Jordan, Guimaras and, thus, problems concerning the familiarity of the place are already met. The researchers’ parents have already permitted them to conduct the study in Guimaras. Also, the researchers are deeply concerned for the lingering effects of the oil spill to the immediate ecosystem and are passionate to point out these effects for the information of the people in the community.
Objectives of the study:
This study aims to: To collect and evaluate water samples in the affected areas for the assessment of how contaminated the water is after six years. To assess the health status of the flora and fauna of the affected ecosystem/s. To conduct interviews among the immediate community affected assessing their health and livelihood. To present the collected data to people and agencies in power for the quickest and most sustainable solution to address the problem.
