Temporary Response System for Viscous Oil By Fishery Technique

Abstract

ABSTRACT Generally it takes at least several hours (a few weeks if unlucky) for the vessels, instruments, and responders to arrive at the polluted area. Until that happens, there are no means for preventing the oil spreading except “self-defense” by neighboring people such as fishermen, volunteers, and staff of the local government. After spreading out along the shoreline, they should keep their own local shoreline clean from oil landing while the professional response in the central area is operated. temporary response instruments are necessary for such initial response and self-defense; otherwise, amateur responders have little more than their hands for products to use for the oil spill response. This paper describes that the fishery net system with bark is one of the effective instruments for such a purpose, especially for recovering the viscous oil.
