Russian Oil Spill Patrol in Komi Republic
The 'Oil Spill Patrol' is a project between Greenpeace and 'Save the Pechora Committee.’ The team is based in the village of Parma, Komi Republic for two weeks, scouting for oil spills in the region, recovering an area contaminated by a toxic oil spill and collecting experiences and case studies from the local population.
The project aims to use Greenpeace tools of bearing witness, satellite mapping and hazmat expertise to draw attention to the many gaps in the regulations for oil production in Russia and the impressive level of destruction that can be wrought by a poorly regulated oil industry.
