Intelligent Image Monitoring Technology of Marine Environmental Pollution Information
Chen, H.; Li, W., and Xie, X., 2020. Intelligent image monitoring technology of marine environmental pollution information. In: Li, L. and Huang, X. (eds.), Sustainable Development in Coastal Regions: A Perspective of Environment, Economy, and Technology. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 112, pp. 1-4. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. With the increasing shortage of land resources, countries around the world gradually develop and use marine resources. Therefore, the marine economy has gradually become an important pillar of our national economy, which will gradually expand the scale of marine resources development. With the increase of sea related projects, the probability of marine environmental pollution events is increasing, which has seriously affected the marine ecological environment. Therefore, we need to monitor the degree of marine pollution, which can better protect the marine environment. There are many problems in traditional marine environmental pollution monitoring technology, such as short monitoring range, low monitoring accuracy, long monitoring time, etc., which cannot meet the development needs of modern industrial technology. Based on the digital remote sensing technology, this paper establishes the intelligent image monitoring technology of marine environmental pollution information, which can monitor the marine water quality in multiple dimensions. Through big data analysis, we can calculate and process the collected data, which will better complete the monitoring and analysis of marine environmental pollution. Through the intelligent image monitoring technology, we can achieve the full coverage of high-precision marine pollution monitoring, which will improve the information of marine environmental pollution samples.

Poisoned oceans
\"Imagine a world where the beach is no longer a place to visit, and the ocean a place that is too poisonous to swim in. It may sound like the plot line of a dystopian chapter book, but every day we get closer to it becoming reality. This essential volume digs into the many ways that life depends on our oceans to survive\"-- www.garethstevens.com

Monitoring and modeling the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 195.Monitoring and Modeling the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: A Record-Breaking Enterprise presents an overview of some of the significant work that was conducted in immediate response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. It includes studies of in situ and remotely sensed observations and laboratory and numerical model studies on the four-dimensional oceanographic conditions in the gulf and their influence on the distribution and fate of the discharged oil. Highlights of the book include discussions of the following: immediate responses to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill using Integrated Ocean Observing System resources; monitoring the surface and subsurface oil using satellites, aircraft, vessels, and AUVs; mapping the oceanographic conditions using satellites, aircraft, vessels, drifters, and moorings; modeling the spreading of surface oil trajectories and the three-dimensional dispersal of subsurface hydrocarbon plumes; oil spill risk analyses and statistical studies on the fate of the oil; and laboratory investigation of ocean stratification related to subsurface plumes. This book will be of value to scientists interested in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico, and the potential for conveyance of oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico to the North Atlantic. A more technical audience may include those interested in oil spill detection, trajectory model forecasting, and risk analyses and those with an interest in applied oceanography, including scientists, engineers, environmentalists, natural and living marine resource managers and students within academic institutions, agencies, and industries who are involved with the Gulf of Mexico and other regions with offshore oil and gas exploration and production.

Oceans : the mystery of the missing plastic
99% of the plastic that should be floating in the oceans is missing. Even accounting for the plastic that washes up on beaches or is trapped in arctic ice, millions of tonnes has simply disappeared. As most plastic never deteriorates, it simply breaks down into smaller and smaller particles that are invisible to the human eye, what happens to this missing ocean plastic is a mystery. In this investigation, scientists embark in search of the micro-plastics. Small, mostly invisible, toxic, they are home to a new ecosystem: the plastisphere. But where are they? Ingested by organisms? Buried under the ocean floor? Degraded by bacteria? And what is the impact of them entering the food chain?

Ocean zoning : making marine management more effective
This title discusses how marine protected areas (MPAs) and MPA networks are now looked at as starting points for more comprehensive spatial management, encompassed in the term ocean zoning.
