Title:
Geographic Response Plan (GRP) - Natural Collection Areas (Marine Debris/Oil Spills)
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:
Abstract:
Natural collection points (convergence zones) are areas that typically have large amounts of accumulating sargassum and other marine debris. Surface currents and wind patterns regularly push floating mats of organic/inorganic material to the same location where it becomes trapped or requires counter weather conditions to outflow. Many boat ramps, harbors and intracoastal waterways near inlets can create geographic boundaries where marine debris will consistently aggregate.
Purpose:
Responders with knowledge of these natural collection points can quickly position deflection boom to these areas to save time and utilize minimum resources. Local responders can spend less time developing and deploying elaborate booming strategies by using the typical current flows and placing vacuum trucks or other response equipment where it will be able to collect the most amount of oil.
Supplemental_Information:
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
