  • Oil Pollution in the Black and Caspian Seas
    Article Satellite Survey of Inner Seas: Oil Pollution in the Black and Caspian Seas Marina Mityagina and Olga Lavrova * Space Research Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow 117997, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-495-333-4256 Academic Editors: Elijah Ramsey III, Ira Leifer, Bill Lehr, Xiaofeng Li and Prasad S. Thenkabail Received: 5 June 2016; Accepted: 17 October 2016; Published: 23 October 2016 Abstract: The paper discusses our studies of oil pollution in the Black and Caspian Seas. The research was based on a multi-sensor approach on satellite survey data. A combined analysis of oil film signatures in satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical imagery was performed. Maps of oil spills detected in satellite imagery of the whole aquatic area of the Black Sea and the Middle and the Southern Caspian Sea are created. Areas of the heaviest pollution are outlined. It is shown that the main types of sea surface oil pollution are ship discharges and natural marine hydrocarbon seepages. For each type of pollution and each sea, regions of regular pollution occurrence were determined, polluted areas were estimated, and specific manifestation features were revealed. Long-term observations demonstrate that in recent years, illegal wastewater discharges into the Black Sea have become very common, which raises serious environmental issues. Manifestations of seabed hydrocarbon seepages were also detected in the Black Sea, primarily in its eastern part. The patterns of surface oil pollution of the Caspian Sea differ considerably from those observed in the Black Sea. They are largely determined by presence of big seabed oil and gas deposits.

  • Eurimage Wins EMSA Cleanseanet Contract
    NEWS Eurimage wins EMSA CleanSeaNet Contract The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) has set in place contracts for a service which will provide EU Member States with processed satellite data for the monitoring and detection of illegal discharges and accidental oil spills at sea. The focus of the service will be to provide Member States with continuity of service, economies of scale and rapid response times in supplying processed information. CleanSeaNet is a European operational system for satellite detection of oil slicks. The service will begin operating in mid-April 2007 and will provide analysed images from ENVISAT and RADARSAT satellites. A network of receiving stations in Norway, Italy and, from 2008, the Azores will receive the data, which will be relayed to control centres for rapid processing and analysis by trained operators, who will assess the images, together with meteorological information, for the possible presence of oil on the sea surface and the source of the pollution. The processed information will be sent simultaneously to the national authorities in the affected Member States and to EMSA. The time from data acquisition by the satellite to the receipt of processed information by pollution control authorities will be a maximum of 30 minutes. A consortium of service providers, consisting of Kongsberg Satellite Services AS (Norway), Telespazio s.p.A (Italy) and Edisoft (Portugal) will be responsible for the downloading, processing, analysis and dissemination of the images and derived information, including alerts, to participating coastal states and to EMSA. Eurimage, as the authorised commercial licence distributor, will provide ASAR (Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) images from the European Space Agency (ESA) ENVISAT satellite.
