First 3 videos by ITOPF are now available online
ITOPF has launched film series on response to marine oil spills tackling with key questions:What issues do we need to consider? What expertise and techniques are available? and how do we deliver a well-planned and executed response?
Film 1 gives an introduction to oil spills and considers how different oils behave in the marine environment, using past case studies as key explames. Film 2 shows how aerial surveillance can help ITOPF assess a situation and get get the information ITOPF needs to guide response. When there’s a spill at sea there’s the opportunity to reduce the amount of oil which reaches the shore. But to be successful in limiting the damage. You need to be prepared and act fast. In film 3, ITOPF looks at different strategies for response at sea, including containment and recovery, the use of dispersants and in situ burning.
All seven films will be available to view via ITOPF’s websitewww.itopf.comshortly and DVD copies will follow in early summer.
