In recent years, large oil spills have received widespread media attention, while small and
micro oil spills are usually only acknowledged by the authorities and local citizens who are directly or
indirectly affected by these pollution events. However, small oil spills represent the vast majority of oil
pollution events. In this paper, multiple oil spill typologies are introduced, and existing frameworks
and methods used as best practices for facing them are reviewed and discussed. Specific tools
based on information and communication technologies are then presented, considering in particular
those which can be used as integrated frameworks for the specific challenges of the environmental
monitoring of smaller oil spills. Finally, a prototype case study actually designed and implemented
for the management of existing monitoring resources is reported. This case study helps improve the
discussion over the actual challenges of early detection and support to the responsible partie.....
