EDITORIAL: OIL SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE: INTRODUCTORY NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL, AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES

Carina Costa de Oliveira, Daniela Diz, Teresa Fajardo

Resumo


In 2019, a vast oil spill occurred in sea areas under Brazilian Jurisdiction . In 2021, the Brazilian police office identified that a Greek ship was probably responsible for the spill when it was crossing international waters roughly 700 nautical miles away from Brazilian coastal line. So far, no proper individual and/or collective compensation has been made for the affected communities, such as fishermen, tourism companies and municipalities. This catastrophe raised many questions including one related to the prevention and the reparation of damages. In the backdrop of the 2019 Brazilian Oil Spill, this special issue investigates innovative solutions for addressing environmental, social and economic issues caused by accidental oil spills from ships from an international, national and comparative perspective. The important legal issues that were pointed out as examples were: prevention and reparation of vessel-source pollution; safety management of offshore oil and gas operations; assessing economic loss caused by oil spill disasters; ecologic compensation in case of oil spill disasters; Area Based Management Tools (including Marine Protected Areas, other effective area-based conservation measures and Marine spatial planning). As an introduction to this special edition, some background, gaps and prospective solutions are presented under Brazilian, international and comparative law.
