Research Progress in Oil Spill Damage Assessment

Abstract:

Marine oil spill does cause huge economic losses and brings serious damages to the marine ecological environment. Therefore, how to claim compensation for oil spill damages has become very crucial for the environmental restoration. In recent years, many researchers have designed various kinds of assessment models for evaluating oil spill damages. This paper analyzes these assessment models, discusses the legal claim and technology claim, finally the suggestions for further research of oil spill damage assessment is proposed, and then the application of fuzzy neural network in technology assessment is also recommended.
