Contents

The report presents results from the analysis of Radarsat-2 images for the detection of suspected oil slicks in the marine environment of Hudson Bay/Strait and Foxe Channel. 1278 images were acquired during the falls of 2015, 2016 and 2017. The potential slick candidates were identified using two methods: visual interpretation and semi-automated interpretation.
