“…The second and the most prominent reason is the oil waste illegally discharged by tankers [222,224]. The tankers consider illegal waste discharging the most economical option because the chance of being caught is slight and the risk of fines is low [222,225].…”

As discussed in the first part of this review paper, Remote Sensing (RS) systems are great tools to study various oceanographic parameters. Part I of this study described different passive and active RS systems and six applications of RS in ocean studies, including Ocean Surface Wind (OSW), Ocean Surface Current (OSC), Ocean Wave Height (OWH), Sea Level (SL), Ocean Tide (OT), and Ship Detection (SD). In Part II, the remaining nine important applications of RS systems for ocean environments, including Iceberg, Sea Ice (SI), Sea Surface temperature (SST), Ocean Surface Salinity (OSS), Ocean Color (OC), Ocean Chlorophyll (OCh), Ocean Oil Spill (OOS), Underwater Ocean, and Fishery are comprehensively reviewed and discussed. For each application, the applicable RS systems, their advantages and disadvantages, various RS and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, and several case studies are discussed.

“…It damages costal ecosystem in several aspects, including: biomass production, biotope landscape, greenhouse gas regulation and nutrient cycling (Mei & Yin, 2009). The environmental impact of oil pollutions depends on the type and amount of oil as well as the sensitivity of living organisms in the polluted area (Gauthier et al, 2007). As the result, the coastal data should be analyzed in order to determine to what degree oil-spill in coastal waters and their probable trajectories will influence coastal environment.…”

“…Academically, such interest has focused in particular on satellite imagery and rapid progress in the field of computer vision and remote sensing (Gauthier et al, 2007;Weinstein, 2018), and has been further driven by the dramatic increase in the availability of satellite imagery in recent years (Handan-Nader et al, 2020). In contrast to aerial footage, which can be hard to obtain and limited to a specific region, satellite imagery is available for many locations at moderate cost.…”

Environmental enforcement has historically relied on physical, resource-intensive, and infrequent inspections. Advances in remote sensing and computer vision have the potential to augment compliance monitoring, by providing early warning signals of permit violations. We demonstrate a process for rapid identification of significant structural expansion using satellite imagery and focusing on Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) as a test case. Unpermitted expansion has been a particular challenge with CAFOs, which pose significant health and environmental risks. Using a new hand-labeled dataset of 175,736 images of 1,513 CAFOs, we combine state-of-the-art building segmentation with a likelihood-based change-point detection model to provide a robust signal of building expansion (AUC = 0.80). A major advantage of this approach is that it is able to work with high-cadence (daily to weekly), but lower resolution (3m/pixel), satellite imagery. It is also highly generalizable and thus provides a near real-time monitoring tool to prioritize enforcement resources to other settings where unpermitted construction poses environmental risk, e.g. zoning, habitat modification, or wetland protection.
