They're very important in oil spills.

Iraq states that the stretch of coast impacted by the 1991 oil spills was not pristine before the oil spills.

No one was interested in oil spills.

So spill it. Spills, thrills, laughs and games.

I spent two years there writing on oil spills.

Cesar Harada A novel idea for cleaning up oil spills

This is why these moments of these oil spills are so important.

ARPEL participated at the quot Latin American Meeting on National Contingency Plans for Oil Spills and Chemicals Spills quot , sponsored by IMO, held at Guayaquil Quito, Ecuador, 16 22 November 1994.

Other programmes focus on development of the subregional contingency plan for oil spills.

And I was the only one in the United States writing on oil spills.

Early journalists looked at these spills, and they said, This is a filthy industry.

So the thing about water oil spills is that they are very politically galvanizing.

And so they know now that they can use this strategy in future oil spills.

Iraq questions the alleged causal link between decreases in catches and the 1991 oil spills.

There's oil spills, environmental disasters, water rights disputes, breakaway republics, famine, endangered species and global warming.

The severity of the 1991 oil spills and the extent of the areas affected are well documented.

We tend to think of oil spills and mercury and we hear a lot about plastic these days.

I mean, we've essentially been exporting oil spills when we import oil from places without tight environmental regulations.

The development of services is concentrated on three main areas monitoring of oil spills, ocean ice and waves.

As for Mexico, accidental spills or gas leakages were reported, none of them causing violations of human rights.

And her tribe has had to move three times in the last 10 years because of the oil spills.

Instead of industrial accidents like oil spills or the catastrophe in Bhopal, we find them, and we respond to them.

And so with all these crises, we have let's see ethnic and minority tensions we have chemical and nuclear spills, nuclear proliferation.

One of the things that happened with the two previous oil spills was that we really worked on some of the symptoms.

Iraq asserts that Saudi Arabia has failed to demonstrate that the oil spills adversely affected fish and shrimp catches or fish stocks.

Hence it would be advisable to consider sites in areas not directly affected by the oil spills from the invasion and occupation.

The platform where that accident happened, called Ixtoc 1, was operated by Pemex, the state owned Mexican oil company. The two accidents and the spills they caused have a number of similar features, although marine oil spills in general have profoundly changed in character in the three decades between the two events.

Tank washing gave rise to a huge number of small spills, and tanker accidents such as those involving the Torrey Canyon, Exxon Valdez, Metula, and St. Peter resulted in huge, concentrated spills. Blowouts were not infrequent, but most occurred on land or in shallow water, and most could be stopped relatively easily.

Iraq states that Iran has not provided sufficient proof that the alleged decrease in shrimp catches is due to the 1991 oil spills.

It noted that waste and pollution from ships, in particular the potential for major oil spills, represented an important concern for such States.

Based on the results of this survey, Saudi Arabia states that impacts of the 1991 oil spills persist in near shore subtidal benthic environments.

Iraq notes that 70 per cent of the fishermen interviewed by Saudi Arabia indicated that they were not economically affected by the oil spills.

No reports were made regarding major DDT incidents, such as production or road accidents and spills, resulting in human exposures to and or environmental contamination.

(a) Hazards mapping (natural and man made), including volcanic and seismic hazards earthquakes tsunamis oil spills monitoring flooding vulnerability, assessment and monitoring and disaster management

(b) Over sea, to investigate the potential of ERS 1 for detecting oil spills, wave studies, underwater features and man made objects in the sea

And we can wrap our heads around the spills, because that's what we see here, but in fact, these guys actually live in a war zone.

Similarly, oil spills on land and waste products from oil refining such as wastewater sludge and residues can all easily contaminate land if not treated responsibly.

Iran submitted an analysis of satellite images used to track the movements of the oil spills and contaminants from the oil well fires from Kuwait to Iran.

Kuwait uses an integrated set of computer models to estimate oil contamination in marine areas from the oil spills and to calculate the associated losses of biomass.

According to Iran, analyses and field observations undertaken by it provide a strong indication that some of the oil from the oil spills reached the coast of Iran.

Recent monitoring and assessment data, including the results of approximately 3,000 transects carried out by Saudi Arabia and sediment samples which it analysed, show that high levels of oil contamination still remain in some coastal sediments that were exposed to oil spills resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

This is a photograph from when I visited Prudhoe Bay in Alaska in 2002 to watch the Minerals Management Service testing their ability to burn oil spills in ice.

Iran states that the oil spills resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait affected the marine habitats and marine organisms at the initial stages of their life cycle.

Saudi Arabia states that 97,450 birds and 93 marine mammals were killed, and turtle hatch rates suffered a 46 per cent reduction as a result of the oil spills.

This estimate does not include the coastal oil trench and coastal oil deposit as contamination in those areas was not caused by invasion related oil spills modelled by OSCAR.
