Oil spills at sea leave traces of degradation, where the majority could be avoided. They affect animals, plants and humans, causing a slow recovery to the beings affected due to large amounts of toxic substances lodged in ecosystems. Important agreements have been made through rules and procedures and corrective, raising standards in countries and on ships, in response to environmental disasters to reduce aggression. Unfortunately, the biggest enemy seems to be the economic interest that comes first in relation to environmental preservation. The search for better technologies must be continuous to be mitigated aggression to the marine environment. Respect for and preservation of the environment must be paramount and constant elements in the development of maritime economic activities. Research on new methods to contain and collect goods to be used in a spill, have advanced steadily, leading to better use in emergency situations. However, the dispute between the oil companies stand out, leading to unbridled pursuit of profit without considering the consequences of human negligence together, are major obstacles to be overcome through awareness.
