What has happend 20 years on at the Exxon Valdez oil spill?

Twenty years after the infamous disastrous Exxon Valdez oil spill, the areas affected by the 10.8 million gallons of oil spilled into the Prince Edward Sound are still not completely recovered. The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC) evaluates that there are still ten indicator species/resources, ranging from killer whales to mussels to sediments to intertidal communities, that have not reached a complete stage of recovery. Human services dependent on the Sound, such as fisheries, tourism, and pure aesthetic appreciation, are also still considered to be in a state of only partial recovery. Chillingly, there are two species the EVOSTC considers to have shown no signs of recovery over the entire twenty years since the spill: the Pacific Herring and the Pigeon Guillemot.


What role did the us government and coast guard play in the clean up of the Exxon Valdez oil spill?

The US Government and Coast Guard, along with the State of Alaska participated in clean up activities, but containment of the spill by booms was not feasible. The spill in some ways was different from the BP spill in that all oil spilled out from the tanker compartment within a couple of days. Exxon had to pay for extensive clean up efforts, including bio-remediation of the coast line. The Federal and State environmental agencies helped document the environmental damage, and this helped in later court cases. See related link.
