3. Bioremediation strategies
Bioremediation strategies are based on stimulating the catabolic capacities of existing microbial communities (by adding terminal electron acceptors, nutrients and/or (bio)surfactants) or introducing hydrocarbonoclastic microbial strains or consortia into the environment to be remediated.
In HC-polluted coastal environments, these strategies can complement mechanical or chemical control methods. Bioremediation methods, which are also the least expensive, can be used on their own. In some cases, however, the best strategy may be to leave things as they are and let natural processes take their course.
