ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for detecting the presence of contaminants, such as an oil spill, in a body of water. At a predetermined location in the body of water there is provided at least one detector station means having thereon at least one contaminant detector element. The contaminant detector element has a characteristic that changes for the condition of the presence of a contaminant impinging thereon. For example, the characteristic may be a dimension thereof. Sensing means are provided to detect changes in the characteristic and to generate an information signal responsive to such changes in the characteristic. A transmitter means is provided for transmitting a transmission signal responsive to the information signal when there has been a change in the characteristic. The transmission signal is transmitted to regions remote the detector station means. At such regions remote from the detector station means there is provided a receiving station means which receives the transmission signal and provides an output signal such as a control signal or a visual or audible signal in response thereto.
