#Sustainability is an essential core business activity in supporting BCI’s vision of becoming a globally significant and sustainable industrial minerals business.

Working with Pendoley Environmental, BCI implemented a Marine Turtle Monitoring Program to collect baseline data of marine turtle nesting and hatching activity in the Mardie and surrounding regions, to further understand the nesting population and habitat. Check out these great shots taken near Fortescue River and offshore islands during Pendoley Environmental’s recent peak green and flatback turtle hatching season survey.

“The preservation of natural habitats has been and continues to be a primary input in the design of the Mardie Salt & Potash Project. To that end, BCI commissions environmental studies to ensure environmental monitoring and management to protect biodiversity at Mardie,” said BCI’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Angela Glover.
