What needs to be done after using oil absorbent pads or booms in a spill situation?

After using oil absorbent pads or booms in a spill situation, notifying your marina is essential because they are typically responsible for spill management and can facilitate the proper disposal and recovery process. Marinas often have established protocols for handling hazardous materials, including oil absorbents, ensuring that they are dealt with safely and in accordance with regulations to prevent further environmental contamination.

Proper communication with the marina can also initiate the necessary cleanup actions and help coordinate with environmental authorities, ensuring that the spill is managed effectively. This reinforces the importance of working with trained personnel who can provide guidance on the next steps in the cleanup process and ensure compliance with local laws.
