ExxonMobil's commitment to environmental responsibility goes beyond compliance
with regulatory requirements. We are also an active contributor to a range of
organisations that conduct important environmental research, protection and
education programs. Our support includes the following projects.
Tracking Marine Life in Southern Waters
ExxonMobil's commitments include support for the latest in satellite-tracking
technology to assist in a long-term study of seals that gather on our Bass
Strait platforms. The seal research, which is conducted by Phillip Island
Nature Parks, has provided valuable data on the foraging and diving habits of
Australian Fur Seals.
