Abstract
In this study, the Environmental Sensitivity Indexes (ESI) are analyzed through SIROCO (Island Response Systems and Operations against ocean pollutants), which allow us to determine the behavior of the substrates that constitute the coastal littoral in front of the polluting action originated by hypothetical accidental spills of hydrocarbons that may affect the islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
