Containment and Remediation
What is Oil Spill Prevention and Remediation?
Oil spill prevention and remediation covers a range of activities aimed at minimizing pollution of marine, coastal and onshore areas and cleaning up pollution in the event of an oil spill or leak. These activities include:
- Monitoring and containment of oil spills: Barriers and booms are used to prevent oil from spreading overboard.
- Decontamination of oil from water and soil: Different techniques such as skimmers, sorbents and biological treatment methods are used to remove the oil.
- Remediation of polluted coastlines: Contaminated soil is excavated and transported, the shoreline is revegetated.
The Necessity of Oil Spill Prevention and Remediation:
Oil spills have a devastating impact on marine, coastal and terrestrial ecosystems. Oil harms marine and terrestrial species, causing fish kills and habitat destruction. It also pollutes coastlines, negatively affecting important economic sectors such as tourism and fisheries.
