Active ice management systems and methods

An ice management system for removing an amount of oil from a surface of a body of water, the system comprising:

• an ice frame having an ice fence coupled with an ice cage;
• an oil skimmer device disposed within the ice frame;
• and
• an ice deflection assembly coupled with the ice frame,
• wherein the ice deflection assembly includes an auger coupled with a motor, wherein the auger includes a drum and a deflection mechanism, and wherein the motor is configured to rotate the auger,
• wherein the auger is a first auger, and wherein the ice deflection system further comprises a second auger coupled with a second motor, a third auger coupled with a third motor, an fourth auger coupled with a fourth motor, a fifth auger coupled with a fifth motor, and a sixth auger coupled with a sixth motor, wherein the first auger, the second auger, the third auger, the fourth auger, the fifth auger, and the sixth auger are arranged in a hexagon pattern disposed around a perimeter of the ice fence.
