As part of the Tiered Preparedness and Response (TPR) Seminar Series, this session explores the Shoreline Clean-up Assessment Technique (SCAT)—a structured approach to assessing and managing oil-impacted shorelines. Dr Rob Holland explains how SCAT supports effective shoreline response and recovery within a tiered planning framework.
Tiered Preparedness and Response (TPR) is an internationally recognised planning approach that enables the integration of local, regional and global capabilities into oil spill response planning.
In the eighth of this 16 part seminar series, Technical Lead, Dr. Rob Holland, discusses Shoreline Clean-up Assessment Techniques for oil spill response.
This field guide provides step-by-step guidance for conducting SCAT surveys, selecting appropriate clean-up strategies, and documenting shoreline recovery. Whether you're planning, executing, or concluding shoreline operations, it supports scientifically sound, environmentally responsible decisions from start to finish.
