oil spill remediation

Oil spill remediation involves removing or minimizing oil that has accidentally entered the environment, especially waterways. It includes methods like applying absorbent materials or booms to contain and recover the oil, using chemical dispersants to break it into smaller droplets so natural bacteria can decompose it, and employing mechanical cleanup tools like skimmers. Sometimes, bioremediation leverages microorganisms to naturally break down the oil over time. The goal is to reduce ecological damage, protect shoreline habitats, and restore affected areas efficiently and safely.
