Türkiye is located on major sea routes and significant ports that facilitate maritime trade due to its strategic location. However, the high volume of maritime activities has resulted in numerous marine accidents, leading to oil pollution in Turkish coastal waters. Therefore, efficient and prompt oil spill emergency response is crucial in minimizing the environmental impact of such accidents. Oil spill management comprises of various components, such as detection, characterization, and monitoring, modeling and risk assessment, response methods and optimization, and waste management. Effective waste management is the final step in oil spill management activities. This paper aims to examine efficient waste management strategies for oil spill accidents in Turkish coastal waters by evaluating existing studies in the literature.
