Oil Spill Program

An Oil Spill Program is a coordinated effort by government agencies, industry, and environmental groups to prevent, respond to, and clean up oil spills in water bodies. Its goal is to minimize environmental damage, protect marine life and coastal communities, and ensure the safety of responders. The program includes planning for spill response, training personnel, deploying specialized equipment, and conducting drills to prepare for potential accidents. By establishing protocols and resources, the program helps reduce the impact of oil spills on ecosystems and human health, promoting swift and effective action when a spill occurs.
