In Situ Monitoring of Dispersion in the Water Column, Final Product for the Detection and Mitigation of Oil within the Water Column Project

Abstract

After the use of dispersants is authorized and they are applied to an oil slick as an option to mitigate the impacts of an oil spill, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) National Strike Force (NSF), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Response Team (ERT), and/or commercial vendors carry out the Special Monitoring of Applied Response Technologies (SMART) protocol to determine the dispersants effectiveness in breaking down the slick into smaller droplets.
