Open Water Oil Identification Job Aid for Aerial Observation: New Standardized Oil Slick Appearance and Structure Nomenclature and Code

摘要

NOAAs Emergency Response Division (aka NOAA Hazmat) works to reduce risks to coastal habitats and resources from oil and chemical spills and hazardous waste sites. Hazmat draws on three decades of experience in responding with the U.S. Coast Guard to spill emergencies and resolving the often longer-term problems presented by hazardous waste sites. Hazmats response to spill emergencies and waste site problems has gained us a reputation for rapid, yet carefully considered and cost-effective, environmental protection decisions.
