Information system in an oil spill 1999.04.15

In preparation for the oil spill in coastal areas, the Japan Coast Guard began operation of the coastal Area information management system in April. Along with information such as water depth and ocean currents on the computer screen, we display environmental information such as tidal flats and coral reefs, social information such as aquaculture grounds and factory intake, and disaster prevention information such as oil fence placement and oil recovery ship. In the event of an accident, the location of the floating oil and the drift prediction are added and the urgency and priority can be considered.
