ABSTRACT. The Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Map is an element to guide the planning of contingency. Road transport is the main vectors in accidents which cause oil spilling in the environment. Since terrestrial environments do not have their environmental sensitivity index, as the marine environment have. Current analysis forwards a proposal for mapping environmental sensitivity to oil and oil derivatives spills in terrestrial environments. Four factors have been included in the Environmental Sensitivity Index Maps: (1) biological resources; (2) socioeconomic mosaic; (3) land cover; (4) Terrestrial Environmental Sensitivity Index (TESI). ESI maps were prepared in five pilot areas for the Rodovia dos Tamoios, state of São Paulo, Brazil, featuring intermediary class TESI, diversity in socio-economic activities, land cover and constant presence of fauna. Adequacy for sensitivity in terrestrial environments triggers the systematization of an efficient, fast and simple production index.Keywords: road accidents, ESI Map, oil spill, petroleum.Mapeamento de sensibilidade a incidente por poluição por óleo em ambientes terrestres RESUMO. A Carta de sensibilidade ambiental para derrames de óleo (Carta SAO) constitui elemento norteador ao planejamento de ações de contingência. O transporte rodoviário é um dos principais vetores em acidentes que resultam em derramamento de óleo no ambiente. Os ambientes terrestres, entretanto, não possuem um índice de sensibilidade ambiental próprio, como ocorre com os ambientes marinhos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de mapeamento da sensibilidade ambiental para derramamento de óleo e derivados em ambiente terrestre. Quatro elementos foram adotados à elaboração da carta da sensibilidade ambiental: (1) recursos faunísticos; (2) mosaico socioeconômico; (3) cobertura da terra; e (4) Índice de Sensibilidade Ambiental Terrestre (TESI). Como aplicação da metodologia, foram elaboradas Cartas SAO em cinco áreas piloto na Rodovia dos Tamoios, estado de São Paulo, as quais foram caracterizadas por possuírem TESI de classe intermediária, diversidade nas atividades socioeconômicas e na cobertura da terra e constante presença de espécies faunística. A busca à adequação da sensibilidade para ambientes terrestres possibilitou a sistematização de um índice que se mostrou eficiente, de produção rápida e simples.Palavras-chave: incidentes em rodovias, Carta SAO, derrames de óleo, petróleo.

Using the constituent elements of vulnerability, an evaluation index system for the ecological vulnerability of coastal areas under oil spill stress is established based on "Sensitivity-Adaptive Capacity-Exposure". After selecting a gulf in China as the main case study in this work, the cluster analysis and reference method were applied in grading and value assigning for all indexes. In addition, the analytic hierarchy process and expert evaluation method were used to determine the index weighting. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation method was adopted in the evaluation studies on the ecological vulnerability of the gulf coastal zone under oil spill stress. Results show the differences between the gulf area and areas that belong to different ecologically-vulnerable areas under oil spill stress.

“…The hard bottoms, clay outcrops and gravel fields present near the shore creates the specific conditions for local biotopes to establish. On the one hand, such geodynamic regime can favour the natural clean up and remediation processes (Castanedo et al 2009), but on the other hand it can also foster the transportation of the spilled oil towards and along the shore (Adler, Inbar 2007).…”

Assessment of the sensitivity of sandy coasts of the south–eastern part of the Baltic to oil spills

The sandy coasts of the south–eastern Baltic Sea are the unique landscape along the shores of Poland, Kaliningrad Oblast (Russia), Lithuania and Latvia. Flat sandy beaches, protective dune ridges and near shore sandy spits are very valuable and attractive resources for human recreation and valuable habitat for wildlife. Intensifying shipping, operation of oil terminals and offshore platforms poses a constant threat not only to coastal and socio–economic resources, but also to sensitive underwater landscapes of marine areas and vulnerable marine habitats. Analysis of environmental sensitivity proved to be an effective tool for national and regional oil spill response planning. However, in order to complete the precise evaluation of near shore and coastal zone sensitivity to possible oil spills there is a need to identify vulnerable coastal sectors and complete detailed mapping of underwater landscapes. This is achieved by developing an integrated methodology for analysis of valuable coastal zone sensitivity to potential oil spills.
