Interdisciplinary Practical Guidelines on Oil Spill Sampling in Europe

m cover ctgmppr2020These guidelines were developed by a group of experts from EU / EFTA Member States and EMSA within the Consultative Technical Group for Marine Pollution Preparedness and Response (CTG MPPR). They comprise of an interdisciplinary, hands-on manual for forensic oil spill sampling and six stand-alone scenarios for different sampling situations (i.e., inshore, in harbours, on beaches, from maritime units, on board ships, from helicopter), which may be used directly in the field. These guidelines are based on real-incident experience and aim to provide good sampling practice for forensic oil spill sampling.
