Environmental Damage and Clean-up

Environmental damage in the context of maritime casualties refers to harm caused to marine ecosystems and coastal areas due to incidents like oil spills or chemical leaks from ships. These events can endanger wildlife, disrupt habitats, and contaminate water sources. Clean-up involves efforts to remove pollutants and restore affected areas, often requiring specialized techniques and equipment to minimize further damage. Organizations, governments, and shipping companies work together to address the aftermath, ensuring that both natural environments and human communities are protected and rehabilitated after such incidents.
