Partnering Interests

Satellite-based radar models for illegal discharges at Marine Regions

Data provision for governance is a key element in planning the future of marine regions. A comprehensive set of data on current oil spills becomes essential to assess different port and maritime management scenarios. Port and Coastal States are urged to run strategies for oil spill detection, demonstrating a willingness to operate and compete internationally.
