Key topics include contingency planning, incident command systems, tactical response techniques, and regulatory compliance. 
 
Key Learning Objectives
  • Analyze the fate and behavior of oil in marine environments.
  • Implement safe, efficient, and appropriate response strategies.
  • Apply Incident Command System (ICS) principles.
  • Utilize regulatory frameworks for compliance and reporting.
