The goal of this presentation is to provide evidence on how tools from
dynamical systems theory may help to understand transport processes in the ocean surface.
The role of these techniques will be illustrated through the description of a recent marine oil-spill,
produced after the sinking of the Oleg Naydenov fishing ship, in Spain, close to the
Canary Islands, in April 2015.
