This research aims to detect and monitor oil spills using fuzzy c mean clustering algorithm using advance
synthetic aperture radar images in Gulf of Mexico. Oil spill harmed wildlife habitats and maritime spices life. To overcome
this problem radar image was used for regular monitoring which improves over all oil spill problems by various approaches.
In fuzzy c mean clustering algorithm it allow one object belongs to two or more object in clusters form. Similarly object or
data will be placed in one place. This method improves frequently using pattern recognition, iterative optimization objective
function and fuzzy partitioning. Main objective is to regular monitor spills in ocean with faster information gathering and oil
spill detection programs. This research was conducted to find out oil spill pattern, patches and tracking spills in particular
areas.
