SUMMARY:Vessels of Opportunity Pioneer Project in Brazil – A 5-year Critic
 al Review and Lessons Learnd
DESCRIPTION:Paper\n\nPedro Martins, Adriano Ranieri, and Pedro Perez (Envi
 ronPact); Maira de Oliveira (Equinor Brasilįp); Suely Ortega (Shell Brasil
 ); and Stephanie Caplan and Caroline Canellas (EnvironPact)\n\nThe Mar Ate
 nto Project was designed and implemented with the objective of engaging an
 d training the Brazilian artisanal fishing community to respond to an oil 
 spill affecting the Brazilian coastal waters. After 5 years, up to 500 peo
 ple were engaged, 294 fishing community members were trained, and 93 Vesse
 ls of Opportunity (VoO) were registered in a Geodata bank improving the ov
 erall preparedness and decision-making process in the event of an oil spil
 l.\n\nThe project is based on four major milestones: (i) Survey of seconda
 ry and primary data for project planning and detailed design, including bu
 t not limited to local fishing community, local logistics and supply chain
 ; (ii) Implementation of several engagement efforts, principally the Expo 
 Mar Atento Exhibition. (iii) Preparation and execution of a customized the
 oretical and practical training focused on the operational concepts of an 
 oil spill response in a shoreline environment; and (iv) Lessons Learned Ev
 ent, where the fishing community watch a video highlighting the activities
  they participated in during the earlier phases of the project. Additional
 ly, they receive a photo book and have the opportunity to share their impr
 essions about the project.\n\nThis sequential approach has been a key succ
 ess factor for the project. It enables engagement of the fishing community
  and individuals in a step-by-step and methodical process, building a prop
 er level of relationship and familiarity before building competency. Altho
 ugh meeting its goals and its great acceptance, the project also provided 
 some future challenges: increasing the training frequency, necessity of de
 fining a method for the database maintenance, and a mechanism to allow the
  inclusion of the fishing community in regular industry drills and exercis
 es.\n\nTag: Preparedness\n\nSession Chair: Haliehana Stepetin (Ted Stevens
