UAVs and gliders are used to monitor localised oil pollution. UAVs are used for mapping of oil spread on the surface. Gliders determine the spatial distribution of an oil spill and its temporal evolution underwater

Combined use of drifters and UAVs to improve oil spills situational awareness in tactical scale

UAV systems together with drifter buoys is a cost-effective way to monitor different marine parameters in case of oil spills, improving considerably situational awareness of operations
