Reporting
It is important that there is some standardisation in the information contained in reports. The Bonn Agreement Counter-Pollution Manual contains guidance on what should be included in various kinds of reports:
This chapter sets out what should be included in a report alerting other Contracting Parties to a threat of pollution from an oil slick or other event.
Chapter 6: Algal Pollution Reports
From time to time, aerial surveillance aircraft will observe an algal bloom that may present a threat to marine life, or which may be significant for the study of eutrophication. This chapter sets out what a report of such an event could include.
Sharing experience on how incidents have been handled is an important part of improving cooperation. This chapter specifies what it is helpful for a report to contain about an incident and its handling.
At their annual meetings, the Contracting Parties report on significant incidents that they have handled during the previous year. The summaries of these reports can be found here.
