ABSTRACT:
A method of determining the presence of hydrocarbon seeps in the sea from an aircraft or other moving vehicle wherein an intense beam of light from an artificial source such as a laser is directed towards the sea and reflections and/or bioluminescence attributable to said beam occurring in the near surface of the sea are observed in the vehicle. Means is provided for discriminating between responses attributable to reflections from the surface of the sea and reflections and/or bioluminescence occurring below the surface of the sea.
