Summary
| Description |
May 2, 2019 Leonardo, New Jersey U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Strike Team personnel practice assembling a dracone at Ohmsett. Dracones are large expandable storage devices used to temporarily store recovered oil in a spill. They are towed in the sea and positioned where needed. The USCG regularly trains at Ohmsett to practice spill response tactics and better understand existing technologies. Ohmsett – The National Oil Spill Response Research & Renewable Energy Test Facility - provides independent and objective performance testing of full-scale oil spill response equipment and marine renewable energy systems (wave energy conversion devices), and helps improve technologies through research and development. It is the largest outdoor saltwater wave/tow tank facility in North America and is the only facility where full-scale oil spill response equipment testing, research, and training can be conducted in a marine environment with oil under controlled environmental conditions (waves and oil types).
