Marine Oil Spill Control

Marine oil spill control refers to the strategies and actions taken to prevent, contain, and clean up oil spills in oceans and coastal areas. This process involves using specialized equipment like booms to contain the spread of oil, skimmers to remove it from the water's surface, and dispersants to break down the oil into smaller droplets. It also includes planning, preparedness, and response actions by governments, organizations, and communities to minimize environmental damage and protect marine life. Effective oil spill control is crucial for preserving ecosystems and ensuring the safety of coastal resources and habitats.
