1 maj 2021 · We map spatial overlaps between the oil sector and small-scale fisheries and point to the frequent displacement of fishers from fishing grounds due to increasing coastal traffic and infrastructure, and the catastrophic effects of oil spills on fisheries and coastal economies.
Understanding the economic impact of oil spills involves analyzing these factors, exploring compensation mechanisms, and addressing challenges in quantifying and mitigating long-term consequences.
Share. Abstract. Oil spills pose significant threats to marine and freshwater environments, impacting ecosystems and drinking water sources. The present review incorporated an up-to-date statistical analysis of the oil spills globally including the types and sources of oil spills and the main habitats affected by the past incidents.
Agriculture can also be an integral economic activity to many coastal communities, but the vulnerability, and sensitivity, of this sector to marine oil spills is not well documented or understood. In ITOPF’s experience, oil spills affecting agriculture are less common than those that impact fisheries and mariculture.
21 wrz 2017 · In ITOPF's experience, oil spills affecting agriculture are less common than those that impact fisheries and mariculture. As a result, knowledge and capability to effectively respond to cases when agriculture is a key vulnerability, are frequently lacking.
7 kwi 2022 · Oil spills generate several environmental impacts and have become more common with the increase in petroleum extraction, refining, transportation, and trade. In soil, oil contamination increases water and nutrient availability and compaction, directly affecting plant growth and development.
