Oil and natural gas represent more than 50 percent of the worldwide energy supply with high energy demand driven by population growth and improving standards of living Despite significant progress in reducing the amount of oil in the sea from consumption exploration transportation and production risks remain This report the fourth in a series documents the current state of knowledge on inputs fates and effects of oil in the sea reflecting almost 20 additional years of research including long term effects from spills such as the Exxon Valdez and a decade long boom in oil spill science research following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill The report finds that land based sources of oil are the biggest input of oil to the sea far outweighing other sources and it also notes that the effects of chronic inputs on the marine environment such as land based runoff are very different than that from an acute input such as a spill Steps to prevent chronic land based oil inputs include reducing gasoline vehicle usage improving fuel efficiency increasing usage of electric vehicles replacing older vehicles The report identifies research gaps and provides specific recommendations aimed at preventing future accidental spills and ensuring oil spill responders are equ

Cuatro décadas de un productivismo desbocado nos han llevado por caminos insostenibles de degradación generalizada, que nos han hecho olvidar el auténtico valor del agua, la verdadera dimensión de tan excepcional recurso. Un conjunto de razones obligan a dar un giro a las políticas del agua en nuestro país. Es tiempo de instaurar una nueva cultura del agua que dé paso a la eficiencia y a la imaginación, a la subsidiariedad y a la participación en la gestión, a las verdaderas cuentas económicas, sociales y medioambientales del agua, y a la concepción humanística del recurso. Los usuarios de los ríos somos todos. La nueva cultura tiene que acabar con la tergiversación de los conceptos actuales de demanda y recurso, con los que se ha pretendido establecer un panorama irreal de desequilibrios insostenibles para justificar la instauración de un gran estado de obras restaurador de un equilibrio hidráulico que la Naturaleza jamás antes tuvo. Son las apetencias las que hay que reequilibrar. Estamos obligados a instaurar la cultura del respeto y de la sensibilidad, antes de seguir destruyendo más paraísos, más patrimonios, y desarticulando más comarcas históricas… sin necesidad. Estamos en tiempos de economía obligada, tiempos de conservar y no de destruir. ¡Un reto apasionante!
