Description: SkyTruth is working to make the hidden crisis of chronic, repeat oil pollution in the world’s ocean visible, measurable, and actionable. Cerulean, the world’s first free, global oil pollution detection platform, has made great strides since its 2023 beta launch. With increasingly advanced AI and more data at its disposal, the world is closer than ever to reliably detecting intentional oil pollution events from both vessels and oil and gas infrastructure, and to holding those polluters accountable. In April, SkyTruth published the names and locations of the world’s most polluting offshore oil and gas infrastructure, enabled by significant improvements to Cerulean’s source detection algorithm. Now, Cerulean includes new features like dark vessel source identification and source profiles that enable users to access more information than ever before about marine oil slicks and their likely sources. These new insights and tools are being used by advocacy organizations, government agencies, journalists, and more to address this persistent form of pollution.
