  1. The EROCIPS Project EROCIPS Final Conference By Mel Parker EROCIPS Project Manager

  2. Emergency Response to Coastal Oil, Chemical & Inert Pollution from ShippingEROCIPS

  3. The goal of EROCIPS is: to provide the necessary information to responders & decision makers involved in shoreline counter pollution operations following a shipping incident.

  7. Developcommon tools & techniques for identifying the baseline conditions & categorising issues of risk. • Identify all information needed to effectively plan for a response. • Develop common protocols for dealing with coastal pollution incidents. • To connect with other spatial planning frameworks to ensure a co-ordinated & effective response. EROCIPS Objectives

  8. WP8 Dissemination of Project outcomes WP3 Counter Pollution Resources WP6 Management Information WP4 Training Information WP2 Response Information WP1 Pollution Threats WP7 Environmental Monitoring WP5 Pollution Modeling EROCIPS Work Packages

  9. Review contingency plans in the Atlantic Area • Report contains recommendations for future best practice & summaries of international and national plans. • Review past experience • Database of relevant past incidents & lessons learnt from them has been compiled • Risk assessment • To help quantify the threat • Coastal inventory database Work Package 1 – Pollution Threats EHS 2006

  10. GIS map of EROCIPS shoreline types, matched to recommended clean up techniques • Boom deployment plans to protect more sensitive environmental sites • Guidance on storage & handling of oil or chemical waste Work Package 2 – Response Information

  11. Counter Pollution Resources Report • Identify and log equipment, technology, skills, contractors, and volunteers available in each region • Manual on managing volunteers during an incident Work Package 3 – Counter Pollution Resources

  12. Guidance for responders • Training packages & courses Work Package 4 – Training Information

  13. Pilot models – Iberia & Dorset • Guidance on use of computer models for oil spill response management Work Package 5 – Pollution Trajectory and Fate modelling

  14. Publicity material for informing stakeholders • Develop the use of shoreline response management systems Work Package 6 – Management Information

  15. Protocols for assessing pollution levels before, during and after pollution incidents Work Package 7 – Environmental Monitoring

  16. Communication & Dissemination Strategy • EROCIPS website: www.erocips.org • Leaflets, booklets & posters • National conferences & seminars in Partner countries • Engagement of wider European & International community Work Package 8 – Dissemination of Project outcomes

  17. Long term effectiveness of the Project will depend on • Partner organisations and regions • Other regions Plans for further development • Move from exchange of information and best practice to implementation • Broaden EROCIPS network

  18. EROCIPS II: Objectives • Strengthen prevention, response & mitigation capacity against oil, HNS and inert pollution • Create a sustainable network of experts on oil spill & HNS response of the AA, supported by information & data exchange & management tools • Incorporation of EROCIPS outputs into strategic response plans to strengthen existing response • Improve the level of awareness & training of potential responders & the degree of stakeholder involvement • Encourage cross boarder collaboration between neighbouring countries facilitating joint cross boarder training & exercises • Improve mitigation capacity by assessing current claims & compensation mechanisms as well as ecological damage assessment systems & procedures
