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:

Chapter 5: Pollution 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.

Chapter 31: Incident Reports

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.
