oil spill cleaning

Oil spill cleaning involves removing or breaking down spilled petroleum from water and affected shorelines. Techniques include deploying booms and skimmers to contain and remove surface oil, dispersants to break oil into smaller droplets for natural degradation, and manual cleanup like absorbent materials and washing. The goal is to minimize environmental damage by restoring marine ecosystems, protecting wildlife, and preventing oil from reaching shorelines. Each spill requires a tailored response depending on the type and extent of the spill, ensuring efficient, environmentally responsible clean-up efforts.
