🔍 Key Concepts

• Pollution response priorities: safety, notification, and limiting environmental damage • Restrictions on using dispersants or chemicals without proper authority • Who is normally responsible for obtaining construction/engineering permits (like the Corps of Engineers)

💭 Think About

• After you report the spill, what action would most directly reduce the spread and impact of the oil, using equipment you might reasonably have on board? • Which options involve actions that could make the pollution worse or violate regulations if done without authorization? • Which choice does NOT logically follow immediately after an accidental discharge at sea but instead relates to long-term projects or construction in waterways?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any options that involve adding unapproved substances to the water. • Eliminate any options that are about permits or paperwork rather than immediate pollution control. • Ask yourself which remaining option focuses on physically limiting and removing the oil from the water.
