Carpenter, A (2007) The Bonn Agreement Aerial Surveillance programme: Trends in North Sea oil pollution 1986–2004. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 54 (2). pp. 149-163. ISSN 0025-326X
Abstract
This paper examines the use of aerial surveillance activities conducted in the North Sea region of Europe since 1986 to assess trends in levels of oil inputs into the marine environment, both across the whole region and within the waters of the different coastal states. It makes use of data collected under the aegis of the 1969 Bonn Agreement through its Annual Reports on Aerial Surveillance and examines developments in surveillance methods and technology which have led to improvements in the detection of oil spills, even during the hours of darkness. The paper then examines country specific data for the eight North Sea contracting parties to the Agreement to assess trends in oil spills in the region.
