<p>The coastal area of Crete is an area of increasing interest due to the recent hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation activities in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the increase of the maritime transport after the enlargement of the Suez Canal. National and local authorities, like ports and the coast guard, who are involved in maritime safety, such as oil spill prevention, the tourism industry and policy makers involved in coastal zone management, are key end users’ groups who can benefit from high spatial and temporal resolution forecasting products and information to support their maritime activities in the coastal sea area of the island. To support local end users and response agencies to strengthen their capacities in maritime safety and marine conservation, a high-resolution, operational forecasting system, has been developed for the coastal area of Crete. The COASTAL CRETE forecasting system implements advanced numerical hydrodynamic and sea state models, nested in CMEMS Med MFC products and produces, on a daily basis, 5-day hourly and 6-hourly averaged high-resolution forecasts of important marine parameters, such as sea currents, temperature, salinity and waves. The COASTAL CRETE high-resolution (~ 1km) hydrodynamic model is based on a modified POM parallel code implemented by CYCOFOS in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levantine Basin, while for wave forecasts, the latest ECMWF CY46R1 parallel version including a number of new features, a state-of-the-art wave analysis and prediction model, with high accuracy in both shallow and deep waters has been implemented with a resolution of ~1.8 km. The COASTAL CRETE hydrodynamic model has been evaluated against the CMEMS Med MFC model and with satellite Sea Surface Temperature data with good statistical estimates. The COASTAL CRETE wave model is calibrated with in-situ data provided from the HCMR buoy network operating in the area. Both the CMEMS Med MFC products and COASTAL CRETE forecasts are made available through a customized instance of ADAM (Advanced geospatial Data Management platform) developed by MEEO S.r.l. (https://explorer-coastal-crete.adamplatform.eu/). This application provides automatic data exchange management capabilities between the CMEMS Med MFC and the COASTAL CRETE models, enabling data visualization, combination, processing and download through the implementation of the Digital Earth concept. Among the numerous functionalities of the platform, a depth slider allows to explore the COASTAL CRETE products through the depth dimension, and a sea current magnitude feature enables the visualization of the currents vectors by overlaying them to any available product/parameter, thus allowing comparisons and correlations. The downscaled high-resolution COASTAL CRETE forecasts will be used to deliver on demand information and services in the broader objectives of the maritime safety, particularly for oil spill and floating objects/marine litters predictions. Such a use case is presented for the port area of Heraklion, implementing nested fine grid hydrodynamic and oil spill models (MEDSLIK-II).</p><p>Acknowledgement: Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) DEMONSTRATION COASTAL-MED SEA.

ABSTRACT Recent studies of oil spills of more than 10,000 gallons examined spill rates in certain East Coast and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. Using oil movement data as the exposure variable, these studies found similar spill rates among the regions and over time. This analysis expands upon these earlier studies by examining the California coastal area and by calculating new spill rates using refining capacity as the exposure variable.

ABSTRACTThe Cilacap coastal area plays an important role in recreation, transportation, energy, education or research, residential, and industry. It is also potential for development and potential for pollution especially for oil pollution. That is caused Cilacap has the refinary oil plant and the great port of oil, furthermore it has crowded traffic of ship (both big ship or fishing ships). All of which have a tremendous potential pollute the sea and the surrounding areas. Therefore, it’s needed study of oil slick spreading that caused oil spill to formulate early warning and protection action plan for Cilacap coastal area. This study use oil spill model from DHI (Danish Hydraulic Institute) and use software MIKE-21 modul Particle/Spill Analysis. At each scenario, direction and concentration of oil spill is highly varied, its depend on the hydrodynamic condition o sea water. In January the oil spill from the 70 area pier tends to spread upstream S, Donan and around P. Nusakambangan with slick thickness between 0.0001-2.1 mm and oil spill from SPM spread out south of the model domain. In September the oil spill in the 70 area dock spreads upstream of S Donan with slick thickness between 0.001-2.7 mm and oil spills in SPM spread evenly throughout Cilacap waters with slick thickness between 0.001 to 1 mm. The result of this study is very important to plan early warning system and reduce environmental impact of oil spill. Based on comparation tide model data to tide data from field measuring, its known that both of data has no significance differences.Keywords: oil spill spreading, computational modeling, hydrodynamicsABSTRAKKawasan pesisir Cilacap memiliki potensi pengembangan wilayah yang sangat besar. Namun demikian, kawasan ini juga mempunyai ancaman terhadap pencemaran tumpahan minyak, terutama disebabkan oleh aktivitas kapal, kebocoran pipa, single point mooring (SPM), dan kapal nelayan yang dapat merusak ekosistem perairan Cilacap dan sekitarnya. Karena itu, kajian persebaran minyak diperlukan untuk menyusun tindakan peringatan dini dan perlindungan kawasan pesisir Cilacap. Dalam kajian ini dilakukan pemodelan penyebaran minyak dengan menggunakan model tumpahan minyak dari DHI (Danish Hydraulic Institute) dan perangkat lunak MIKE-21 modul Particle/Spill Analysis. Berbagai parameter inputan data diperoleh dari data sekunder dan hasil survei lapangan pada 8-14 Januari dan 10 16 September 2012. Terdapat empat model skenario penyebaran disusun dan hasil akhir divalidasi dengan hasil pengukuran. Sebagai hasil, arah persebaran dan konsentrasi tumpahan minyak untuk tiap skenario sangat bervariasi dari waktu ke waktu tergantung pada kondisi hidrodinamika perairan yang ada. Pada bulan Januari  tumpahan minyak dari dermaga area 70 cenderung menyebar ke hulu S. Donan dan di sekitar P. Nusakambangan dengan ketebalan slick antara 0,0001-2,1 mm dan tumpahan minyak dari SPM tersebar ke selatan keluar ari domain model. Pada bulan September tumpahan minyak di dermaga area 70 tersebar ka arah hulu S Donan dengan ketebalan slick antara 0,001-2,7 mm dan tumpahan minyak di SPM tersebar merata ke seluruh wialayah perairan Cilacap dengan ketebalan slick antara 0,001- 1 mm. Hasil kajian ini sangat penting sebagai dasar perencanaan upaya peringatan dini tumpahan minyak dan meminimalisasi dampak tumpahan minyak. Validasi data pasang surut hasil pemodelan dan pengukuran lapangan dari Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) menunjukkan tidak adanya perbedaan yang nyata.Kata kunci: persebaran tumpahan minyak, pemodelan komputasi, hidrodinamika

ABSTRACT A large outpouring of citizen volunteers may converge at the scene of a highly publicized, widespread oil spill in a coastal area. A spill response manager may be reluctant to use volunteers due to liability issues, their overwhelming numbers, the short term commitment by the majority of the volunteers, and the uncertain effectiveness of their actions. Given the high motivation of citizen volunteers and the local political climate, it may be unwise or impossible to turn the volunteers away. An international protocol for managing volunteers and ensuring their safety during an oil spill response is presented. This protocol defines the process of utilizing volunteers in a safe and orderly manner to achieve positive results in mitigating the adverse effects of an oil spill on the environment. important aspects of the protocol are the assignment of an experienced volunteer coordinator/manager, organization, site supervision, basic training, volunteer support/logistics, and integrated safety management at all levels.
