One of its main objectives is to provide the Governments of the Region with an overview of the current status of oil production, transportation, pollution, and pollution control along the coasts of West and Central Africa. The report is a synthesis of information and data available from governmental and industrial sources, in technical and popular publications, and from meetings and materials gathered during a fact-finding mission undertaken by four IMCO consultants in June-July 1980 to four primary oil-producing countries in West and Central Africa. Technical discussions and graphics have been augmented with general background information, as well as professional interpretations of the implications of oil production and pollution in West and Central Africa.
