| Research Abstract |
This research project has been set up to examine issues of the environment and prevention against oil spill in the Okhotsk Sea. Six research associates from different academic disciplines have studied together to explore better ways to deal with environmental protection in this region.
Severe marine conditions, especially during winter when ice flows cover the sea, increase the possibilities of causing oil spills. If an oil spill were to occur, fishing and tourism in the coastal regions of the Okhotsk Sea would be severely damaged.
By the fruits of this project, we could reveal the region's environmental and meteorological conditions and to examine appropriate measures to deal with marine pollution caused by oil spill.
