The US Coast Guard has used several tactics to clean the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. One of them involves using containment buoys to trap the oil from spreading. Another way they have tried to clean it up is using ultra absorbent hair-like ropes that soak up the oil.
The idea of the finalizer method was to do clean up stuff, like releasing IO resource to a database or a file, as this method is called just before the garbage collector removes the object from memory. The problem is that you cannot influence when or IF the garbage collector will clean up your object, so you have no guarantee that the finalize method is ever called. There are even more issues with the finalizer method, the shorty story is to just avoid it and use a "try finally" block instead - closing the resources in the finally block will guarantee that the resources will be released. If you want to know more, I have a free video both about the finalizer method as well as exception handling on my blog (just Google for "Marcus Biel Clean Code Course")
It must be plugged up. try to snake it out.
The Guardian newspaper says it costs £1 billion. See the related link.
It took them 4 summers.

It killed animals by the poison in the oil.
Because the spill impacted 1,300 miles, it took the Exxon Valdez Company four summers to clean up the spill. Some oil may still remain on the beaches. It took 10,000 workers, 1,000 boats, 100 airplanes, and the Navy, Army, and Air Force to clean up the spill. Exxon spent about $2.1 billion for the clean up.
The oil slick created buy the oil company Exxon . And ship was called Exxon Valdez, so Exxon oil company paid as well as cleared up the oil slick .
If your question is concerning the repair to the tanker, "Exxon- Valdez" then: It was repaired in San Diego. It is no longer owned by Exxon and is currently it is transporting oil in Asia at least as of 2009. See related link. If your question is concerning the clean-up of the spill created by the tanker accident, various efforts to clean up the oil spilled on the rocky shoreline were attempted, but complete clean-up was infeasible, as discussed in the related link. Environmental damage occurred and the legal cases lasted for almost a decade.
While no one died in the actual accident there were four deaths during the clean up and eleven suicides can be directly linked to the event.
Enviro Close-Up - 2003 The Ongoing Exxon Valdez Disaster 1-580 was released on: USA: 2 August 2004
In the case of Baker v. Exxon, an Anchorage jury awarded $287 million for actual damages and $5 billion for punitive damages. To protect itself in case the judgment was affirmed, Exxon obtained a $4.8 billion credit line from J.P. Morgan & Co.
Many differences: 1) Exxon Valdez was a tanker accident, therefore the quantity of oil was known. The spill size in the Gulf of Mexico is unknown as oil is still spilling from the wellbore. 2) Wave action was probably more effective in breaking up the oil spill. 3) Oil booms were not available to contain the Exxon-Valdez spill. 4) Other measures to disperse the spill were not available. Surfactants and bio-remediation were used late in the clean up operation. 5) The Exxon Valdez appears to be a more viscous oil than the Gulf spill. No attempt to burn the oil was considered. The Exxon oil was more prone to form emulsions. 6) Due to water temperatures, the Exxon oil was unlikely to evaporate th high end alkanes. In the Gulf spill (and also the Kuwait spill) high temperatures will allow the high end alkanes to evaporate.
They can clean up the oil of beaches with alot of hard work and we can resalt crystals in the sea to clear some oil. Oil will have to automatically go though! Good luck :)
I don't believe that ANY industries were wiped out due to the spill from the oil tanker Exxon Valdez. Perhaps someone from Alaska might be better equipped to answer your question. It was certainly messy and required a lot of clean-up but it mainly occurred near shore and in a harbor area.
