Abstract

This article has illustrated a handful of other concepts in addition to oil spills. This study investigated the harm caused by oil spills in a region, as well as the consequences of oil exploration and extraction on the environment, economy, and politics. The concept of oil spills, their causes, their different types, and the impacts of these calamities on the marine ecosystem are all covered in detail in this review. Oil spill management and response are essential for the environment and society. This review also provides basic information on monitoring oil spills from space. Optical and microwave remote sensing techniques have been used to address oil spill monitoring issues. The possibility of false alarms from lookalikes is the main problem when using radar and microwave data to monitor an oil spill. Therefore, numerous issues must be addressed to detect oil spills in space. It is crucial to combine these technologies with additional approaches such as in situ measurements and ground-based observations.
