“…While there has been a remarkable decline in oil spillage into the sea [1] due to the stricter measures set by the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships in 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 or "MARPOL 73/78" [2], the marine pollution hazards of tankers and pipelines, carrying hundreds of thousands of tons of oil, remain. In the last five years, the most notable oil spills include those in China in 2018 [3,4], Russia in 2020 [5,6], Mauritius in 2020 [7,8], Venezuela in 2020 [9,10], Peru in 2022 [11,12], and, most recently, in the Philippines in 2023 [13,14]. Despite the numerous studies conducted to evaluate the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of oil spills, a comprehensive analysis of the immediate and long-term effects from a human ecological perspective remains challenging.…”

In February 2023, an oil tanker carrying 5660 bbl of industrial fuel oil sank off Naujan in the Philippines, causing an oil spill in the waters of Oriental Mindoro and nearby provinces. The disaster affected fishing communities as well as marine ecosystems including the Verde Island Passage, which is at the “center of the world’s marine biodiversity”. This study assessed the immediate social and economic impacts of this oil spill on various communities of the Naujan coast. We conducted semi-structured interviews and employed a narrative analysis to explore the lived experiences of fisherfolk after the oil spill and to understand the socioeconomic impacts. With the prohibition of fishing and other aquatic activities, the participants lost up to USD 1300 of income per week from fishing. The participants had no other source of income due to the lack of other skills or an opportunity for an alternative livelihood in the community. While the government provided food packs and financial assistance, the participants found these insufficient to sustain their basic family needs including food, utilities, education, and health. Traces of oil were also found in the sources of potable water affecting their daily household activities. The fisherfolk, who live in communities that are vulnerable to natural and human-made hazards, had their subsistence, food security, and human well-being highly compromised. The findings provided recommendations for government interventions to mitigate the impacts of an oil spill and other future disasters, considering social, economic, and human ecological perspectives.

“…For example, one of the largest inland fuel diesel spills was an accident in a Russian power station in June of 2020, which released about 200 million kilograms of diesel into the Norilsk–Pyasino lake–river ecosystem and was spread by the river flow over a large area of 350 square kilometers. It has been reported that both the surface water and bottom sediments in the catchment of river were polluted with oil products, phenols, and organic matter [ 7 , 8 ]. Current physicochemical technologies are applied as emergency actions to clean up the spilled oil, but, ultimately, a substantial proportion of oil hydrocarbons are biodegraded by oil-degrading microorganisms [ 9 ], which use oil hydrocarbons as energy and carbon sources [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Diesel spills in freshwater systems have adverse impacts on the water quality and the shore wetland. Microbial degradation is the major and ultimate natural mechanism that can clean the diesel from the environment. However, which, and how fast, diesel-degrading microorganisms could degrade spilled diesel has not been well-documented in river water. Using a combination of 14C-/3H--based radiotracer assays, analytical chemistry, MiSeq sequencing, and simulation-based microcosm incubation approaches, we demonstrated succession patterns of microbial diesel-degrading activities, and bacterial and fungal community compositions. The biodegradation activities of alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were induced within 24 h after diesel addition, and reached their maximum after incubation for 7 days. Potential diesel-degrading bacteria Perlucidibaca, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Acidovorax, and Aquabacterium dominated the community initially (day 3 and day 7), but later community structure (day 21) was dominated by bacteria Ralstonia and Planctomyces. The key early fungi responders were Aspergillus, Mortierella, and Phaeoacremonium by day 7, whereas Bullera and Basidiobolus dominated the fungal community at day 21. These results directly characterize the rapid response of microbial community to diesel spills, and suggest that the progression of diesel microbial degradation is performed by the cooperative system of the versatile obligate diesel-degrading and some general heterotrophic microorganisms in river diesel spills.
