ABSTRACT On February 15, 1996, the Sea Empress went aground at Milford Haven off the Pembrokeshire coast of South Wales, Great Britain. Between February 15 and 21 some 72,000 tons of Forties blend crude oil were released into the marine environment. The model OSIS (oil spill information system) was developed jointly by AEA Technology and BMT Marine Information Systems. OSIS was successfully used by AEA Technology for the U.K. Coastguard Agency's Marine Pollution Control Unit (MPCU) as a response tool to predict the fate, trajectory, and likely beaching of oil, thus aiding in the decisions and optimizing response strategy. The MPCU has subsequently contracted AEA Technology to develop OSIS to predict the long-term fate of the dispersed oil and to identify areas of deposition following oil-sediment interaction.

Saline Waters

It is widely recognised that, unless special steps are taken, analytical results from a group of laboratories engaged in a monitoring programme are likely to be of poor comparability. This in turn can prejudice the conclusions drawn from the results of monitoring. On the basis of previous studies, the problem is known to be particularly acute for measurements of trace metals in saline waters. Recognising the difficulty, the Marine Pollution Monitoring Management Group (MPMMG) and the Water Research centre (WRc) have organised a programme of Analytical Quality Control (AQC). This has the objective of ensuring that analytical results for filterable cadmium and mercury in saline waters, obtained by water industry and other relevant laboratories, are of adequate accuracy and comparability for their intended uses. WRc is to coordinate a series of tests, some involving distributions of standards and samples, which the participating laboratories undertake; this series of tests, the background to the approach and some of the results obtained to date are described here.

Most historical marine pollution monitoring has proven useless in a management context. A strategy for development of effective marine pollution monitoring programs is outlined. This strategy is based on the following steps: 1) systematic evaluation of the management information needs, 2) identification of the hypothetical impacts associated with those management concerns, and 3) investigation of the feasibility of monitoring those effects such that the existence, or absence, of a specified level of effects can be established in a statistically-valid manner. There are two fundamentally different types of monitoring program: site-specific and regional. These two types of program differ markedly in scope and approach when designed through application of this strategy. The strategy requires development of null hypotheses which address management concerns and which are amenable to scientific testing. In order for the program to be successful, the null hypotheses selected for inclusion in a marine pollution monitoring program must address levels of effect which are predefined to be environmentally significant. The definition of environmentally significant effect levels is a difficult process which must be primarily the responsibility of the managerial community.

Preliminary Phase

An integrated surveillance system for chronic and accidental marine pollution is proposed to improve decision making. This project, called ARCOBLEU, is based on organizing advanced communication and information tools and techniques in a multi-source / multi-user architecture. A Franco-Italian consortium associating private companies and public research institutes has already received the support of the EEC MAST program to carry out the preliminary phase of the system requirement, by using the high Tyrrhenean sea as a pilot zone. Future extension to the Western Mediterranean basin is already planned under the name of MED-ARCOBLEU.
