What is Marine Pollution

In the second half of the 20th and the beginning of this century, large-scale maritime accidents created catastrophic environmental pollution, some of which is on an irreversible scale. Decision support systems can provide a picture of the maritime scene to the decision-makers, which they monitor by keeping the marine environment variables up to date, in search and rescue and pollution response operations after maritime accidents. In favor of Industry 4.0, systems use all dynamic data of the marine environment, and the authorities that provide this data have been integrated on an internet basis. The chapter aims to present perspectives on how this internet-based integration provided by Industry 4.0 can feed the human factor for the prevention of the marine environment and, by this means, the role of Industry 5.0 in sustainable marine environment management.
