spill is difficult and depends upon many factors, including the type of oil spilled, the temperature of the water (affecting evaporation and biodegradation), and the types of shorelines and beaches involved.<a href="#cite_note-common_dreams_1-1">[1]</a> Physical cleanups of oil spills are also very expensive. Until the 1960s, the best method for remediation consisted of putting <a href="/wiki/Straw" title="Straw">straw</a> on the spill and retrieving the oil-soaked straw manually.<a href="#cite_note-:9-43">[43]</a> Chemical remediation is the norm as of the early 21st century, using compounds that can herd and thicken oil for physical recovery, disperse oil in the water, or facilitate burning the oil off.<a href="#cite_note-:9-43">[43]</a> The future of oil cleanup technology is likely the use of microorganisms such as <a href="/wiki/Fusobacteriota" title="Fusobacteriota">Fusobacteriota</a> (formerly Fusobacteria), species demonstrate potential for future oil spill cleanup because of their ability to colonize and degrade oil slicks on the sea surface.<a href="#cite_note-:9-43">[43]</a><a href="#cite_note-pmid27681918-44">[44]</a> There are three kinds of oil-consuming bacteria. <a href="/wiki/Sulfate-reducing_bacteria" class="mw-redirect" title="Sulfate-reducing bacteria">Sulfate-reducing bacteria</a> (SRB) and acid-producing bacteria are <a href="/wiki/Anaerobic_organism" title="Anaerobic organism">anaerobic</a>, while general aerobic bacteria (GAB) are <a href="/wiki/Aerobic_organism" title="Aerobic organism">aerobic</a>. These bacteria occur naturally and will act to remove oil from an ecosystem, and their biomass will tend to replace other populations in the food chain.

Oleophilic, hydrophobic chemical, containing no bacteria, which chemically and physically bonds to both soluble and insoluble hydrocarbons. The accelerator acts as a herding agent in water and on the surface, floating molecules such as phenol and <a href="/wiki/BTEX" class="mw-redirect" title="BTEX">BTEX</a> to the surface of the water, forming gel-like agglomerations. Undetectable levels of hydrocarbons can be obtained in produced water and manageable water columns. By overspraying sheen with bioremediation accelerator, sheen is eliminated within minutes. Whether applied on land or on water, the nutrient-rich emulsion creates a bloom of local, indigenous, pre-existing, hydrocarbon-consuming bacteria. Those specific bacteria break down the hydrocarbons into water and carbon dioxide, with EPA tests showing 98% of alkanes biodegraded in 28 days; and aromatics being biodegraded 200 times faster than in nature they also sometimes use the hydrofireboom to clean the oil up by taking it away from most of the oil and burning it.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a></li> <li>Controlled <a href="/wiki/Burning" class="mw-redirect" title="Burning">burning</a> can effectively reduce the amount of oil in water, if done properly.<a href="#cite_note-oil_spill-51">[51]</a> But it can only be done in low <a href="/wiki/Wind" title="Wind">wind</a>,<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> and can cause <a href="/wiki/Air_pollution" title="Air pollution">air pollution</a>.<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a></li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo,_Venezuela.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg/220px-Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="234" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2040" data-file-height="2172"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 234px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg/220px-Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="234" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg/330px-Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg/440px-Close-up_of_Lake_Maracaibo%2C_Venezuela.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Oil slicks on <a href="/wiki/Lake_Maracaibo" title="Lake Maracaibo">Lake Maracaibo</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:PrestigeVolunteersInGaliciaCoast.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/PrestigeVolunteersInGaliciaCoast.jpg/220px-PrestigeVolunteersInGaliciaCoast.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="151" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="289" data-file-height="199"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 151px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/PrestigeVolunteersInGaliciaCoast.jpg/220px-PrestigeVolunteersInGaliciaCoast.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="151" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/PrestigeVolunteersInGaliciaCoast.jpg 1.5x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Volunteers cleaning up the aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/Prestige_oil_spill" title="Prestige oil spill">Prestige oil spill</a></figcaption></figure> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Dispersant" title="Dispersant">Dispersants</a> can be used to dissipate <a href="/wiki/Dispersants#Oil_spill" class="mw-redirect" title="Dispersants">oil slicks</a>.<a href="#cite_note-itopf-dispersants-54">[54]</a> A dispersant is either a non-surface active <a href="/wiki/Polymer" title="Polymer">polymer</a> or a <a href="/wiki/Surfactant" title="Surfactant">surface-active substance</a> added to a <a href="/wiki/Suspension_(chemistry)" title="Suspension (chemistry)">suspension</a>, usually a <a href="/wiki/Colloid" title="Colloid">colloid</a>, to improve the separation of <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Particles" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:Particles">particles</a> and to prevent <a href="/wiki/Settling" title="Settling">settling</a> or <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clumping" class="extiw" title="wikt:clumping">clumping</a>.

ESMs used to be atlases, maps consisting of thousands of pages that could solely work with spills in the oceans. In the past 3 decades, this product has been transformed into a versatile online tool. This conversion allows sensitivity indexing to become more adaptable and in 1995 by the <a href="/wiki/National_Oceanic_and_Atmospheric_Administration" title="National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration">US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)</a> worked on the tool allowing ESI to extended maps to lakes, rivers, and estuary shoreline types.<a href="#cite_note-NOAA_2002-71">[71]</a> ESI maps have since become integral to collecting, synthesizing, and producing data which have previously never been accessible in digital formats.

The process of making an ESI atlas involves GIS technology. The steps involve, first zoning the area that is to be mapped, and secondly, a meeting with local and regional experts on the area and its resources.<a href="#cite_note-:7-75">[75]</a> Following, all the shoreline types, biological, and human use resources need to be identified and their locations pinpointed. Once all this information is gathered, it then becomes digitized. In its digital format, classifications are set in place, tables are produced and local experts refine the product before it gets released. ESI's current most common use is within contingency planning. After the maps are calculated and produced, the most sensitive areas get picked out and authenticated. These areas then go through a scrutinization process throughout which methods of protection and resource assessments are obtained.<a href="#cite_note-:7-75">[75]</a> This in-depth research is then put back into the ESMs to develop their accuracy and allowing for tactical information to be stored in them as well. The finished maps are then used for drills and trainings for clean-up efficiency.<a href="#cite_note-:7-75">[75]</a> Trainings also often help to update the maps and tweak certain flaws that might have occurred in the previous steps. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="ESI_Categories">ESI Categories</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: ESI Categories" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Shoreline_type">Shoreline type</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Shoreline type" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <a href="/wiki/Shoreline" class="mw-redirect" title="Shoreline">Shoreline</a> type is classified by rank depending on how easy the target site would be to clean up, how long the oil would persist, and how sensitive the shoreline is.<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> The ranking system works on a 10-point scale where the higher the rank, the more sensitive a habitat or shore is. The coding system usually works in colour, where warm colours are used for the increasingly sensitive types and cooler colours are used for robust shores.<a href="#cite_note-:7-75">[75]</a> For each navigable body of water, there is a feature classifying its sensitivity to oil. Shoreline type mapping codes a large range of ecological settings including <a href="/wiki/Estuary" title="Estuary">estuarine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lacustrine" class="mw-redirect" title="Lacustrine">lacustrine</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Riverine" class="mw-redirect" title="Riverine">riverine</a> environments.<a href="#cite_note-:6-70">[70]</a> Floating oil slicks put the shoreline at particular risk when they eventually come ashore, covering the <a href="/wiki/Substrate_(marine_biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Substrate (marine biology)">substrate</a> with oil. The differing substrates between shoreline types vary in their response to oiling, and influence the type of cleanup that will be required to effectively decontaminate the shoreline. Hence ESI shoreline ranking helps committees identify which clean-up techniques are approved or detrimental the natural environment. The exposure the shoreline has to wave energy and tides, substrate type, and slope of the shoreline are also taken into account—in addition to biological productivity and sensitivity.<a href="#cite_note-NOAA_2008-77">[77]</a> <a href="/wiki/Mangroves" class="mw-redirect" title="Mangroves">Mangroves</a> and marshes tend to have higher ESI rankings due to the potentially long-lasting and damaging effects of both oil contamination and cleanup actions. Impermeable and exposed surfaces with high wave action are ranked lower due to the reflecting waves keeping oil from coming onshore, and the speed at which natural processes will remove the oil. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Biological_resources">Biological resources</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Biological resources" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Within the biological resources, the ESI maps protected areas as well as those with bio-diverse importance. These are usually identified through the <a href="/wiki/UNEP-WCMC" class="mw-redirect" title="UNEP-WCMC">UNEP-WCMC</a> Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool. There are varying types of coastal habitats and ecosystems and thus also many endangered species that need to be considered when looking at affected areas post oil spills. The habitats of plants and animals that may be at risk from oil spills are referred to as "elements" and are divided by functional group. Further classification divides each element into species groups with similar life histories and behaviors relative to their vulnerability to oil spills. There are eight element groups: birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, habitats and plants, wetlands, and marine mammals and terrestrial mammals. Element groups are further divided into sub-groups, for example, the ‘marine mammals’ element group is divided into <a href="/wiki/Dolphin" title="Dolphin">dolphins</a>, manatees, <a href="/wiki/Pinnipeds" class="mw-redirect" title="Pinnipeds">pinnipeds</a> (seals, sea lions & walruses), <a href="/wiki/Polar_bear" title="Polar bear">polar bears</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sea_otter" title="Sea otter">sea otters</a> and <a href="/wiki/Whale" title="Whale">whales</a>.<a href="#cite_note-NOAA_2002-71">[71]</a><a href="#cite_note-NOAA_2008-77">[77]</a> Necessary when ranking and selecting species is their vulnerability to the oil spills themselves. This not only includes their reactions to such events but also their fragility, the scale of large clusters of animals, whether special life stages occur ashore, and whether any present species is threatened, endangered or rare.<a href="#cite_note-IPIECA_1994-78">[78]</a> The way in which the biological resources are mapped is through symbols representing the species, and polygons and lines to map out the special extent of the species.<a href="#cite_note-:8-79">[79]</a> The symbols also have the ability to identify the most vulnerable of a species life stages, such as the <a href="/wiki/Moulting" title="Moulting">molting</a>, nesting, hatching or migration patterns. This allows for more accurate response plans during those given periods. There is also a division for sub-tidal habitats which are equally important to coastal biodiversity including kelp, coral reefs and sea beds which are not commonly mapped within the shoreline ESI type.<a href="#cite_note-:8-79">[79]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Human-use_resources">Human-use resources</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Human-use resources" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Human-use resources are also often referred to as socio-economic features, which map inanimate resources that have the potential to be directly impacted by oil pollution. Human-use resources that are mapped within the ESI will have socio-economic repercussions to an oil spill. These resources are divided into four major classifications: <a href="/wiki/Archaeological" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeological">archaeological</a> importance or cultural resource site, high-use recreational areas or shoreline access points, important protected management areas, and resource origins.<a href="#cite_note-NOAA_2002-71">[71]</a><a href="#cite_note-IPIECA_1994-78">[78]</a> Some examples include airports, diving sites, popular beach sites, marinas, hotels, factories, natural reserves or marine sanctuaries. When mapped, the human-use resources the need protecting must be certified by a local or regional policy maker.<a href="#cite_note-:7-75">[75]</a> These resources are often extremely vulnerable to seasonal changes due to ex. fishing and tourism.

Of critical importance for the skill of the oil spill model prediction is the adequate description of the wind and current fields. There is a worldwide oil spill modelling (WOSM) program.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> Tracking the scope of an oil spill may also involve verifying that hydrocarbons collected during an ongoing spill are derived from the active spill or some other source. This can involve sophisticated analytical chemistry focused on finger printing an oil source based on the complex mixture of substances present. Largely, these will be various hydrocarbons, among the most useful being <a href="/wiki/Polyaromatic_hydrocarbons" class="mw-redirect" title="Polyaromatic hydrocarbons">polyaromatic hydrocarbons</a>. In addition, both oxygen and nitrogen heterocyclic hydrocarbons, such as parent and alkyl homologues of <a href="/wiki/Carbazole" title="Carbazole">carbazole</a>, <a href="/wiki/Quinoline" title="Quinoline">quinoline</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Pyridine" title="Pyridine">pyridine</a>, are present in many crude oils. As a result, these compounds have great potential to supplement the existing suite of hydrocarbons targets to fine-tune source tracking of petroleum spills.

The figure of 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 barrels (1,300,000 m3) is the range adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the United Nations in the immediate aftermath of the war, 1991–1993, and is still current, as cited by NOAA and <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> in 2010.<a href="#cite_note-99">[96]</a> This amount only includes oil discharged directly into the Persian Gulf by the retreating Iraqi forces from January 19 to 28, 1991. However, according to the U.N. report, oil from other sources not included in the official estimates continued to pour into the Persian Gulf through June, 1991. The amount of this oil was estimated to be at least several hundred thousand barrels, and may have factored into the estimates above 8,000,000 barrels (1,300,000 m3). </li> </ol></div></div> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(8)"><h2 id="The_economic_impact_of_oil_spills">The economic impact of oil spills</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: The economic impact of oil spills" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-8 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-8"> Oil spills can have devastating environmental impacts; however, we cannot allow these to overshadow their often equally detrimental economic consequences.<a href="#cite_note-121">[117]</a> These disasters do not only pose immediate threats to marine ecosystems, but also leave lasting impacts on local and regional economies. This section will explore the multifaceted economic repercussions of oil spills, specifically considering: the decline in tourism, the reduction in fishing, and the impact on port activity. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Decline_in_tourism">Decline in tourism</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Decline in tourism" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In the short term, an oil spill will prevent tourists from partaking in usual recreational activities such as swimming, boating, diving, and angling.<a href="#cite_note-ITOPF-122">[118]</a> As such, the area will witness a decline in tourism. This will negatively impact several industries. Firstly, the hotels, restaurants, and bars in the immediate vicinity will have significantly fewer customers. Local car park owners and shopkeepers will be affected too. Then, this decline in tourists will cause further damage to travel agencies, tour guides, and transport companies.<a href="#cite_note-Economic_Effects-123">[119]</a> The beaches will likely stay shut for several days whilst clean-up operations take place, and there may be disruption caused by an increase in clean-up vehicles.<a href="#cite_note-ITOPF-122">[118]</a> Overall, several businesses will be negatively impacted by the spill in the short term, which can lead to further long-term damage should companies be forced to reduce staff or shut down entirely. Often, this process is intensified by disproportionate media attention. Usually, the affected area returns to normal relatively soon after an oil spill, as the clean-up process is fast.<a href="#cite_note-ITOPF-122">[118]</a> However, media stories will drive future tourists away, as they work to degrade the popular image of a destination with exaggerated stories of oil on beaches and deserted hotels.<a href="#cite_note-ITOPF-122">[118]</a> This aggravates the economic losses, as people continue to choose to travel elsewhere. Such a scenario is particularly damaging for regions which are very reliant on the tourism industry.<a href="#cite_note-Economic_Effects-123">[119]</a> For example, the Brazilian Northeast can be very vulnerable to drops in tourism, thus, they were badly impacted following a 2500 tonne crude oil spill from an unknown tanker in 2019.<a href="#cite_note-124">[120]</a> Similarly, tourism in Ibiza was severely impacted in 2007. Just 20 tonnes of oil were spilled from the Don Pedro in July 2007, a relatively limited volume compared with other spills. Whilst this caused just a small amount of environmental damage, the economic damage was disproportionately large. Most beaches were reopened within a week, just a dozen seabirds were affected, and there were no reports of injured sea mammals. Nonetheless, 27 percent of hotels in Ibiza were negatively affected, with two thirds of these being seafront hotels. Thus, 32 claims were made by tourist firms, equating to approximately 1.5 million euros of compensation.<a href="#cite_note-125">[121]</a> This provides a clear example of an oil spill resulting in massive economic disaster. Furthermore, following the world's largest oil spill, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in 2010,<a href="#cite_note-Encyclopedia_Brittania-126">[122]</a> the U.S. Travel Association estimated 23 billion dollars’ worth of associated costs for affected tourist infrastructure.<a href="#cite_note-127">[123]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Reduction_in_fishing">Reduction in fishing</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Reduction in fishing" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> After the Deepwater Horizon crisis,<a href="#cite_note-Encyclopedia_Brittania-126">[122]</a> the Gulf of Mexico suffered an estimated 1.9-billion-dollar loss in revenue from fishing. This is because fishing closures were imposed due to fears of the safety of seafood,<a href="#cite_note-128">[124]</a> there was also a decline in demand, as seafood restaurants and markets suffered such severe losses that many were forced to shut.<a href="#cite_note-ITOPF-122">[118]</a> Usually, the Gulf sees an average of 106,703 fishing trips per day,<a href="#cite_note-129">[125]</a> equating to 1 million metric tonnes of annual fishery landings.<a href="#cite_note-130">[126]</a> Therefore, the necessary fishing ban following the disaster was highly damaging. Similarly, following the sinking of the Prestige oil tanker near Galicia, Spain, in November 2002, 77,000 tonnes of crude oil were spilled into the ocean. This disaster has had severe economic consequences, alongside the environmental damage. Large zones were cordoned in which fishing was banned, with these bans lasting for more than eight months. This affected several groups, including fishermen, ship owners, and the companies who bought and sold the fish. Several compensatory actions were introduced, including tax benefits and aid. This resulted in expenses of approximately 113 million euros in an attempt to compensate for the halt in fishing activity.<a href="#cite_note-131">[127]</a> The examples of the Deepwater Horizon and the Prestige clearly illustrate the severe economic consequences when oil spills prevent commercial fishing. Water pollution due to oil spills can be severe, often resulting in the death or injury of many sea creatures, including birds, sea mammals, fish, algae, and coral.<a href="#cite_note-Studies_of_fishermen%E2%80%99s_economic_los-132">[128]</a> The impact on fish caught in the spill has both immediate and longer-term impacts. Immediately, the fish are tainted with oil, and they cannot be used commercially due to safety reasons. Then, the oil can spread and sink below the water's surface. If fish swallow the oil, they are also inconsumable due to the health risk posed to humans.<a href="#cite_note-Studies_of_fishermen%E2%80%99s_economic_los-132">[128]</a> Therefore, massive economic damage is caused to the fishing industry following an oil spill, as the stock is vastly reduced. Furthermore, the oil can cause damage to the equipment and boats of fishermen. Clean-up operations can also interrupt usual fishing routes, and sometimes fishing bans are imposed.<a href="#cite_note-Economic_Effects-123">[119]</a> This further illustrates the damaging economic effects of oil spills on commercial fishing, which is particularly detrimental for regions whose economy relies heavily on fishing. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_impact_on_port_activity">The impact on port activity</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: The impact on port activity" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Ports are major hubs for economic activity; thus, an oil spill in or near a port can have significant consequences.<a href="#cite_note-133">[129]</a> During and following a spill, all boats entering or leaving the port must be closely managed in order to prevent further spread. Furthermore, specialist cleaning contractors must be hired to effectively clean the various port structures.<a href="#cite_note-ITOPF-122">[118]</a> Oil spills are relatively regular occurrences in ports, as small spills often happen due to the large volume of boats, and these are not as well documented in the media as larger events are.<a href="#cite_note-134">[130]</a> However, these spills must still be dealt with, and they can still have damaging economic repercussions.<a href="#cite_note-Modeling_Logistical_&_Economical_Im-135">[131]</a> Both the incident and the response require expensive and time-consuming management which is disruptive to port activity.<a href="#cite_note-Modeling_Logistical_&_Economical_Im-135">[131]</a> Furthermore, special care must be taken during clean-up operations to ensure that the oil does not get stuck under the quayside, as this could act as a continual source of oil contamination.<a href="#cite_note-Modeling_Logistical_&_Economical_Im-135">[131]</a> This can also be seen with sea defenses; should the oil penetrate deep into the structures, they may become a source of secondary pollution.<a href="#cite_note-ITOPF-122">[118]</a> Therefore, it is crucial for ports to manage and mitigate any oil spills, in order to limit the damage to ships and shipping operations. Otherwise, should large disruption occur, the economic damage can be extensive due to costly clean-up processes and delayed shipments. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Summary">Summary</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Oil_spill&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Summary" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The economic impact of oil spills on tourism, fishing, and ports is substantial and important to assess. Coordinated efforts are necessary to mitigate these impacts, including effective clean-up measures, public relations campaigns to restore the image of affected areas, and support for businesses and
