Best Answer

Oil spills effect the economy because:

It costs money to clean the oil up, and the oil is usually not recoverable.

Oil spills cause considerable damage to many jobs in many industries including:

  • Fisheries and related aquatic industries
  • Tourism
  • Shipbuilding

Oil spills affect the local economy because the gasoline prices go up. Therefore those families that cannot afford the high gas prices cannot transport themselves in their own car.
