**2. Oil spill problems**

In this section, the major problem in coastal region monitoring is oil spill detection. The spills are more predominantly considered during marine ecosystem pollution control. However, the marine oil spill term considers—where oil is released into costal or ocean waters and spills may also occur on land.

From these circumstances, the oil spills are very harmful to marine birds, sea turtles, and mammals, and also can harm fish and shellfish. In general, the oil spills are destroying the insulating ability of fur-bearing mammals, such as sea otters, and the water-repelling abilities of a bird's feathers, exposing them to the harsh elements. Many birds and animals also swallow oil and are poisoned when they try to clean themselves or when eating oiled prey [11].

This can be considered to monitor and detect the oils pills on coastal surface areas. To protect the coastal environments, this could be considered to monitor the ocean regions and also surfaces of oceans.

Finally, many techniques are reviewed to carry such type of problems in marine regions. All these techniques/methodologies/approaches are discussed in subsequent sections.
