Accidental oil spills from tankers can have a catastrophic local impact on marine ecosystems.

Fourth claim unit Marine resources Iran seeks compensation in the amount of USD 2,293,923,269 for damage to or depletion of its marine resources resulting from the oil spills in the Persian Gulf and pollutants from the oil well fires in Kuwait.

Kuwait uses an integrated set of computer models to estimate oil contamination in marine areas from the oil spills and to calculate the associated losses of biomass.

Iran states that the oil spills resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait affected the marine habitats and marine organisms at the initial stages of their life cycle.

As with all marine gas and oil deposits, the rights to the waters and the riches below are critical.

While being toxic to marine life, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the components in crude oil, are very difficult to clean up, and last for years in the sediment and marine environment.

The Mediterranean Sea constitutes 0.7 of the global water surface and yet receives seventeen percent of global marine oil pollution.

The fourth claim unit is for damage to or depletion of marine resources in Iran caused by The oil spills in the Persian Gulf and Pollutants from the oil well fires.

Third claim unit Marine subtidal habitats Saudi Arabia states that, as a result of the oil spills resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait, damage was caused to its marine subtidal habitats.

I'm a marine. My grandpa's a marine, too!

The main marine resources of SIDS consist of marine fisheries, and other living marine resources.

Our marine environment continues to suffer as a result of the presence in the Gulf of sea mines and wrecked oil tankers and other ships.

Many studies and reports on this matter have affirmed that this oil pollution has killed tens of thousands of sea birds. Moreover, oil now covers hundreds of square kilometres of marine vegetation, which has been damaged by the pollution.

It provides for the designation of special areas, where more stringent discharge rules apply in respect of oil, noxious liquid substances, refuse (marine debris) and air pollution.

The marine environment too has been gravely affected the Iraqi regime dumped between 6 million and 8 million barrels of oil into the waters of the Gulf.

Subsea is a term to refer to equipment, technology, and methods employed in marine biology, undersea geology, offshore oil and gas developments, underwater mining, and offshore wind power industries.

Saudi Arabia states that 97,450 birds and 93 marine mammals were killed, and turtle hatch rates suffered a 46 per cent reduction as a result of the oil spills.
