Possible oil pollution in the Adriatic Sea
In the Adriatic Sea, high number of oil slicks has been detected on satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The sources of these slicks are most often deliberate releases of oil and oily products, caused by tank washing or through routine operations of transport or fisheries ships. Concern regarding the oil pollution has risen lately, since Croatia, Montenegro and Albania have intensified exploration of undersea sources of hydrocarbons. If the oil would be found, the transport of oil will also be intensified. Discussed are causes, sizes, shapes and locations of the oil spills prevailing in Adriatic Sea. Considered are also potential damages that spills could cause to the coastal communities, concerning the Adriatic circulation. Protection measures and ecosystem complexity are also mentioned.
