Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) were introduced for vessel traffic control and represent a ship-based broadcast system operating in the VHF maritime band. Apart from ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore AIS systems there are airborne AIS transponders that make dynamic vessel information available to airborne surveillance platforms. Examples of information provided by airborne AIS are time, position, heading, course, speed, IMO number, destination, type of cargo and estimated time of arrival. This information is of general interest in airborne maritime surveillance, including search and rescue operation and oil spill monitoring. Especially the GIS integration of AIS information as well as its online visualisation onboard the surveillance aircraft are considered beneficial for oil spill response since it allows the identification of potential polluters. 

Satellite monitoring of accidental and deliberate marine oil pollution... 

In the context of monitoring of marine oil pollution, satellite images are currently used for the following applications ... 

In summary, we recognised a clear need for additional research efforts and the need to involve the regional and national authorities deeply that are competent in the field of monitoring sea-based oil pollution. Concerning the additional research efforts, space-borne sensors will have to secure their role in support to aerial and naval means for the monitoring of sea-based oil pollution by (among others) ...

MAR-FISH was used to foUow the degradation of C-labeled o-nitrophenol in a coculture composed of Pseudomonas putida B2 and Sphingomonas sty-gia [159]. The technique allowed the identification of the bacterium involved in degradation of o-nitrophenol. Microautoradiography was also used by Francisco et al. [160] to monitor the microbial activity of Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an oil-polluted tropical bay on the Atlantic Ocean.

Air Pollution. Particulates and sulfur dioxide emissions from commercial oil shale operations would require proper control technology. Compliance monitoring carried out at the Unocal Parachute Creek Project for respirable particulates, oxides of nitrogen, and sulfur dioxide from 1986 to 1990 indicate a +99% reduction in sulfur emissions at the retort and shale oil upgrading faciUties. No violations for unauthorized air emissions were issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during this time (62).
