Summary:The Environmental Assessment (EA) process should involve the generation of testable predictions generated using clearly stated methods and followed by the collection of environmental monitoring data. Follow-up programs should aim to determine the accuracy of the initial predictions. We examined the follow-up process for six oil and gas extraction projects in eastern Canada with respect to assessing batch spill ( Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, Canada-Newfoundland Atlantic Accord Implementation Act, Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementations Act, oil pollution, Northwest Atlantic
