Download or read book A Climatological Oil Spill Planning Guide Number 2 Gulf of Maine Georges Bank written by Joseph m Bishop and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil spills are a major concern in both offshore oil production and oil transport at sea. For an effective oil spill contingency plan to be formulated, one needs relevant environmental data. The objective of this study is to provide such information in a format that can be understood and used by decision makers in oil spill contingency planning and by scientific support personnel during actual spills. The concept that a report of this type should be available was initially developed during the grounding of the Argo Merchant. At that time it became apparent that there was no source of key climatological data available for pre-spill planning and post-spill mitigation purposes. This planning guide discusses the movement of oil at sea, presents relevant environmental data, and predicts the possible impact of oil spills on the marine environment. The hope is to provide the necessary environmental information to help mitigate adverse effects in the event of a major oil spill. The guide can also be used for spills of other types such as hazardous chemicals, since many of the governing environmental processes and impacted resources would be the same. This report is the second in a series designed to cover all U.S. Regional Response Areas. The first planning guide covered the New York Bight (Coastal Region II); this report is the Gulf of Marine/Georges Bank (Coastal Region I). (Author).

Download or read book Manual on Oil Pollution written by International Maritime Organization and published by IMO Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a clear and concise overview of the present level of knowledge and expertise in the field of oil spill response. It covers the behaviour and fate of different types of oil when spilled and the effects on marine and coastal resources. Guidance is given on aerial surveillance, the at-sea measure of containment and recovery, and the use of chemical dispersants, and there are new chapters on in situ burning and bioremediation measures. Other chapters cover shoreline cleaning strategies, waste management and disposal. Guidance is provided on training, exercises and equipment maintenance and storage, and information is also given on liability, compensation and cost accounting.
Download or read book Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook written by Sharon Hook and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil spills can be difficult to manage, with reporting frequently delayed. Too often, by the time responders arrive at the scene, the slick has moved, dissolved, dispersed or sunk. This Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook provides practical advice on what information is likely required following the accidental release of oil or other petroleum-based products into the marine environment. The book focuses on response phase monitoring for maritime spills, otherwise known as Type I or operational monitoring. Response phase monitoring tries to address the questions – what? where? when? how? how much? – that assist responders to find, track, predict and clean up spills, and to assess their efforts. Oil spills often occur in remote, sensitive and logistically difficult locations, often in adverse weather, and the oil can change character and location over time. An effective response requires robust information provided by monitoring, observation, sampling and science. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook completely updates the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s 2003 edition of the same name, taking into account the latest scientific advances in physical, chemical and biological monitoring, many of which have evolved as a consequence of major oil spill disasters in the last decade. It includes sections on the chemical properties of oil, the toxicological impacts of oil exposure, and the impacts of oil exposure on different marine habitats with relevance to Australia and elsewhere. An overview is provided on how monitoring integrates with the oil spill response process, the response organisation, the use of decision-support tools such as net environmental benefit analysis, and some of the most commonly used response technologies. Throughout the text, examples are given of lessons learned from previous oil spill incidents and responses, both local and international. General guidance of spill monitoring approaches and technologies is augmented with in-depth discussion on both response phase and post-response phase monitoring design and delivery. Finally, a set of appendices delivers detailed standard operating procedures for practical observation, sample and data collection. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook is essential reading for scientists within the oil industry and environmental and government agencies; individuals with responder roles in industry and government; environmental and ecological monitoring agencies and consultants; and members of the maritime sector in Australia and abroad, including officers in ports, shipping and terminals.
