已经制定了一种方法，用于对沿海环境进行综合漏油脆弱性指数V。该指数通过三个中间指数考虑到主要的物理、生物和社会经济特征。三种不同的整合方法（最坏的情况下，平均和调查为基础的）沿着基于环境影响指数的脆弱性分数，VESI，建议在威望石油泄漏的坎塔布连海岸，进行了分析和比较，在协议的分类与每一个为这个沿海地区。本研究结果显示，使用最坏的情况下的指数，VR，导致一个保守的排名，与一个非常差的歧视，这是没有帮助的沿海溢油风险管理。由于这一海岸带的同质性，其余的方法，VI，VM和VESI，提供类似的分类。然而，VM和VI提供了更多的灵活性，允许每个沿海段三个指数，包括社会经济方面。最后，VI程序建议在这里作为更可取的，因为使用该指数促进公众参与，这是一个关键因素，在实施海岸带综合管理（IZCM）。
A methodology has been developed to carry out an integrated oil spill vulnerability index, V, for coastal environments. This index takes into account the main physical, biological and socio-economical characteristics by means of three intermediate indexes. Three different integration methods (worst-case, average and survey-based) along with ESI-based vulnerability scores, VESI, proposed for the Cantabrian coast during the Prestige oil spill, have been analyzed and compared in terms of agreement between the classifications obtained with each one for this coastal area. Results of this study indicate that the use of the worst-case index, VR, leads to a conservative ranking, with a very poor discrimination which is not helpful in coastal oil spill risk management. Due to the homogeneity of this coastal stretch, the rest of the methods, VI, VMand VESI, provide similar classifications. However, VMand VIgive more flexibility allowing three indexes for each coastal segment and including socio-economic aspects. Finally, the VIprocedure is proposed here as the more advisable as using this index promotes the public participation that is a key element in the implementation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (IZCM).
