We cooperate with state and territory agencies, and industry stakeholders to respond to pollution incidents. Our capabilities include the use of specialised equipment, oil spill remediation and prosecution of the perpetrators.
When there is a discharge of oil, a hazardous substance, garbage, sewage, or air emissions that is prohibited by law, AMSA or State and Territory agencies, can investigate.
Find out about how we monitor oil spills and manage the use of dispersants before, during and after pollution incidents.
We provide support tools and capabilities, including spill trajectory modelling, and National Environmental Maritime Operations (NEMO), for marine pollution response.
We provide a range of technical references to support research and development, relevant to Australian interests. This includes research articles, science and technical information.
