In order to heal the ocean, a scientific and active response is needed to contain pollutants, to monitor contamination and to apply the law and protocols.
This book details how the containment of pollution was analyzed over seven exercises performed during European projects on oil spill floating booms in Atlantic, Mediterranean and Alpine waters. It discusses biomarking and biodiversity impact analyses, carried out in a yachting marina (La Rochelle), looking for chemical and heavy metal concentration in bi-valve organisms. Extensive studies address the impact of oil and dispersants on mid-depth fish species and living organisms in deep-sea and extreme arctic environments.
Finally, this book looks at how containment and bio-monitoring are carried out by today’s legal actions according to national and international law and procedures following an oil-spill disaster. Compensation and impact assessments are jointly discussed.
