GUYANA – Guyana’s Environmental Protection Agency says it can now use satellites to monitor any oil spills.

The EPA put out a statement Tuesday, saying it has contracted with Maxar Technologies in Colorado to enable real-time environmental monitoring of two of its offshore oilfields.

The agency’s former leader criticized the technology as ineffective, saying the only proper way of minimizing oil spills is to put spill-prevention experts onboard drilling ships and platforms.
