Similarly, oil spills can lead to the death of marine animals due to the toxic chemicals in the oil. The impact of marine pollution is not limited to marine animals. It can also affect humans who rely on the ocean for food and recreation. For example, if fish populationsdecline due to ...
In contrast, broader models that estimate the effects of oil spills on society (i.e., integrating ocean environment, biological ecosystems, socioeconomics and human health knowledge domains) can be employed for damage assessment and strategic planning. These models are intended to operate over longer...
This gap in knowledge on the lingering impacts of one of the largest oil spills of all time is why I sit here in this cold, dark, ROV control room staring at a work boot in the abyss. A year prior, I had reached out to Mark Benfield about replicating his ROV metho...
