Monitoring and Cleanup Oil spill in sea is a very hazardous for marine environment. This type of oil spills are happen in vessels during bunkering. Tanker vessels and Offshore oil and gas exploration are The major sources of oil spills in the marine environment. This type oil spills can have long lasting consequences on marine ecosystems by contaminating water, disrupting marine food chains Nowadays this type of oil spills are difficult to handle and cleanup.
2.3 Early Detection Swarm robots can provide early detection of small oil leaks or spill, preventing hem fro escalating into larger disasters. By continuously patrolling shipping routes, ports, and offshore platforms, they can identify and alert authorities to spills a soon as they occur.

3.1Surface skimming and recovery
1.INTRODUCTION
Robots in the swarm equipped with skimmers can work together to collect and recover oil from the waters surface. They can coordinate their paths to maximize the amount of oil collected, avoiding redundancy and ensuring complete coverage.
Oil spill is very dangerous for marine environment. So, we introduce swarm robots for this type emergencys situation. This robotics have optimum behavior for any kind of environmental emergencys. The using swarms for oil spill monitoring and cleanup in tanker vessels lies in ability to leverage the principle of swarm intelligence, distributed sensing and coordinate action to achieve faster and more efficient cleanup operations like patrolling, disaster recovery and rescue. This picture shows the how oil spill happen in sea. Indicates the how affect the marine ecosystem. Swarm robotics involves using multiple autonomous robots working collaboratively to achieve a common goal. This technology has great potential in application such a monitoring an controlling oil spills on sea water.
3.2Waste Collection and Removal Swarm robot can also gather solid waste (like booms and debris) that accumulates during cleanup operations. They can transport this waste back to collection points or larger ships.
2. APPLICATION OF SWARM ROBOTICS IN OIL SPILL MONITORING AND CLEANUP 2.1 Real time data collection Swarm robots equipped with sensor (optical sensors, hydrocarbon sensors, and cameras) can continuously monitor and collect data on the extent and concentration of the oil spill. 2.2 Autonomous Mapping The robots can create real time maps of the spills spread, its thickness, and its movement patterns. They can also track environmental parameters like currents,
