Automatic Oil spill Recognition and Geopositioning
integrated in a Marine Monitoring Network

EUROPEAN MARITIME DAY,
Parco Nazionale Arcipelago Toscano 20-22 May, 2012, Gothenburg, Sweden

venerdì 27 luglio 2012

7th Framework Programme - European Union

Area: COOPERATION

Goals:
Development of an integrated system of trafﬁc control and oil pollution in
environment-sensitive areas.



Development and interoperation of
technologies for the environment monitoring

ARGOMARINE: Why?
The Mediterranean Sea:
a small big sea
Extention: 3.000 x 900 km
Recycling time: 7.000 years
High-density of protected
marine areas

More than 20 countries
on the sea with more
than 400 millions of
584 cities inhabitants.
750 harbours and 286 commercial ports 130 millions of people
13 gas installation live on the coastal strip
180 termoelectric power plants
2,000 ferries
1,500 freight ships
2,000 commercial crafts and tankers
370 M oil tons per year carried(25% of
the world amount of oil sea trafﬁc)



Commercial crafts and tankers
cross every day the area of the
Tuscan Archipelago National
Park and high value
environmental areas



National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago

Established: 1996, expanded in 1997.
Surface area: 17,694 hectares of land and 61,474 of sea.
Altitude: 1018 m above sea level at Monte Capanne
(Isola d’Elba).

Location: Located in the Tirrenhian Sea and composed
of seven main islands (Elba, Giglio, Capraia, Montecristo,
Pianosa, Giannutri e Gorgona) and several minor island.



Tuscan Archipelago National
Park is part of the
International Mediterranean
Sea Cetaceans Sanctuary

MIS analyzes data from sensors and
integrates them with mathematical-
hydrodynamic models and weather
forecast



Toward a new Integrated
Marine Policy!

The perception by the local stakeholders, who are
mainly involved in tourism and ﬁshery, about the
importance of the activity within projects
ARGOMARINE is helping to slowly go beyond
difﬁdences versus the institutions of new MPAs

Other usages | Surveillance on a local scale
Sensors on buoys or AUV watch on all the
accesses into the protected marine areas (Isola di
Pianosa, Montecristo)
Passive acoustic sensors monitor possible illegal
accesses within the borders of highly protected
areas (Laganas Bay).



How
to
conciliate
the

environmental
preserva:on

policies
and
local
sustainable

development?

It
seems
to
be
an

oxymoron:

environmental

conserva:on
evokes

reac:ons
by
local

communi:es!



The Communication Flow

Local political
authorities
Local associations
local stakeholders

Local mass
media



It’s a slow,
difﬁcult door-to
door work of
patience and
communication!
