Marine environments, critical for global biodiversity, face severe threats from incidents like oil spills, causing immediate environmental hazards and enduring implications for marine life, habitats, and human societies. The research aims to analyze the intricate relationship between marine oil spills and their multifaceted impacts across ecological, environmental, societal, and economic dimensions. Through an examination of ecosystem responses, management methodologies, societal and economic ramifications, and an analysis of notable incidents like the Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon, this study seeks to identify deficiencies in current strategies and propose more effective and sustainable remediation approaches. By synthesizing available information, this paper provides insights and recommendations for future policies, technological innovations, and research directions, aiming to promote sustainable coexistence between human activities and marine ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":499207,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Sciences and Technologies","volume":"31 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139534474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Comparative Analysis of Efficiency and Environmental Impact of Various Marine Oil Cleanup Technologies","authors":"Zhigang Zhang, Hongdong Sun","doi":"10.58531/ijest/2/1/3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58531/ijest/2/1/3","url":null,"abstract":"Marine oil pollution, stemming from human activities, poses severe threats to ecosystems and coastal areas globally. This study assesses and compares various marine oil cleanup technologies, examining their efficiency and environmental impacts. The overview covers mechanical methods (e.g., skimming, barriers) and chemical/biological approaches (e.g., bioremediation, chemical agents). Evaluation criteria include effectiveness in diverse environments, cleanup speed, scalability, and cost/resource requirements. Case studies like the Dalian Port 7·16 Oil Leak and the Bohai Bay Oil Spill shed light on applied technologies and their outcomes. Recommendations emphasize enhancing cleanup strategies and regulatory frameworks for efficient responses to oil spill events. This study advocates for understanding cleanup technology limitations and ecological impacts while promoting sustainable strategies to combat marine oil pollution's adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":499207,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Sciences and Technologies","volume":"38 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139533876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
