Abstract: Oil spills are a major environmental hazard, threatening marine ecosystems and human livelihoods. This paper presents a Smart Electronic Oil Spill Detection System that leverages IoT and cloud connectivity for real-time monitoring and alert generation. The system integrates oil-detecting sensors with a microcontroller, which acquires and processes sensor data before transmitting it to a cloud platform via an IoT communication module. The cloud interface enables remote monitoring through a web dashboard and generates instant alerts to facilitate early response actions. The proposed prototype was tested under controlled conditions, demonstrating reliable detection and minimal communication delay. This approach reduces manual monitoring efforts, enables 24/7 surveillance, and is scalable for industrial and marine applications. Future enhancements include machine learning–based spill severity prediction and integration with automated cleanup mechanisms for a more comprehensive solution.
