Underlining its commitment to contributing to cleaner seas, Spill International is keen to establish partnerships with prominent spill prevention and response organisations. By linking up, Spill International aims to create shortcuts to the organisations and optimally benefit from their knowledge and experience. Skytruth, USA, is now partnering with Spill International.

SkyTruth is a nonprofit organisation using remote sensing and digital mapping to create stunning images that expose the landscape disruption and habitat degradation caused by mining, oil and gas drilling, deforestation, fishing and other human activities. You know them from several news items as satellite observation is a great way to observe pollution in the oceans and seas.

In the networked world, sharing of information is increasingly important, and even more so in the case of an oil spill. Official partners receive a prominent place on the Spill International website, making it easy for readers to access their own websites and further information about the organisations from there. For more details on partnerships with Spill International, please contact editorial manager Joost Boers.

Spill International is working to make the information about the partners even more accessible. By doing so, it hopes to help prevent spills or at least ensure a more effective response.   (Spill-international, Edited by Topco)
