“…There is extensive environmental data available (e.g., Yong, 1996Yong, , 2010Sandal, 1996;Department of Environment, Parks & Recreation, 2006;DHI Water and Environment, 2020). Questionnaire surveys were used and an interview with the environmental authority was conducted to gather information on EM.…”

“…A review of the country's legislation (Tobin, 1992) discovered that there were no comprehensive environmental laws but that provisions in existing legislation could be used for a variety of environment-related regulations. Yong and Tamit (2001) identified several challenges to environmental regulation. The Environmental Protection and Management Order (EPMO), enacted in 2016, is the first and only law aimed at protecting the environment from the effects of industrial development.…”

“…West of SIP is a low, narrow, north-south oriented, forested ridge that juts into the South China Sea at Tanjong Batu's coast. The Pelumpong spit extends abruptly eastward for 8 kilometers into Brunei Bay, one kilometer south (Yong, 1996(Yong, , 2010. PMB, which is located just south of the spit, was previously a recurved spit that was severed from the mainland (Yong, 1995(Yong, , 2010Sandal, 1996).…”

Modernisation is characterized by industrial development. The Serasa Industrial Park (SIP) is an industrial estate in Serasa sub-district, close to the Brunei Darussalam's only deep-water port. Given the link between industrial development and environmental degradation, as well as the general lack of environmental monitoring in Brunei, the paper questions whether environmental management (EM) is adequate to protect the area from further industrialisation. The purpose of this paper is to answer this question using SIP as a proxy because it is a well-established industrial site that should be more amenable to EM. This study involves two surveys of 20 firms and an interview with the environmental agency to gain a better understanding on the national policy and strategy. The paper found that, while the current state of EM is structurally weak, it is adequate for the SIP under current conditions. To protect the environment and increase industrialisation in the area, EM structures must be incorporated into existing regulatory frameworks.

“…For this study, ten shallow cores have been collected along two depth transects offshore Brunei (Figure 1). Since the Brunei Bay is a major contributor of sediment into the eastern part of Brunei waters due to the estuaries of Brunei, Temburong and Trusan rivers (Yong, 2010), one transect was collected starting just at the opening of the bay toward north-west. This transect has been labelled "Muara Transect" because it has been collected offshore the village of Muara in Brunei Darussalam.…”

The study aims to get some additional knowledge on the modern seafloor composition offshore Brunei Darussalam by looking at the recent stratigraphic succession of the deposited sediments and their distribution patterns. For this reason, 10 shallow cores (22 to 46 cm thick) have been collected by scuba diving along two depth transects spanning from water depth of 20 to 60 m. One of the transects has been sampled north-northwest of the Muara village, just in front of the Brunei Bay and the other one off the coast near Tutong town, away from major sedimentary inputs. The results obtained portray two different sea bottom compositions and two different depth-related sediment distributions. The Muara transect is highly rich in mud and yielded abundant biogenic component at all investigated depths. The Tutong transect has a higher sand content but display constant changes along with depth. The sediment is mostly composed by biogenic grains such as rests of sponges, foraminifera, molluscs and echinoderms; the not biogenic grains are for the vast majority made of quartz. The sandy fractions of both transects have been tested for cyclicity and all cores can be described by functions with comparable periods, thus indicating that an oscillatory environmental event such as the alternation of the monsoon seasons, has similar influence on the seafloor of both transects.
