Italian term or phrase: bonifica marina
I wish to know how you'd call the "clearing up" of an area of the sea/ocean that was polluted - eg. by oil? Is it reclamation as with the ground?

marine pollution remediation
Explanation:
If it is only an oil spill, then marine oil spill clean-up would be OK. But the generic term for cleaning up all sorts of pollution would be marine pollution remediation.
