L2M – Oil spill detection using Empowered Earth Eyes (OEEE): A space-based smart solution

The OEEE is dedicated to combating oil spills in oceans and enhancing marine ecosystem health. Utilizing advanced satellite imagery analysis and AI modeling, this cutting-edge technology enables the monitoring of vast oceanic areas globally. Its capabilities extend to the early detection of oil spills and the identification of high-risk areas prone to oil spill pollution. The core of our mission is to address the pressing problem of delayed oil spill detection, which poses significant environmental and economic risks. With an automated detection system, the OEEE offers an innovative solution to enhance the detection and monitoring of oil spills in a near-real-time manner, ensuring broad accessibility and usability across various sectors.
