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.

How does the GULf of Mexico and the Exxon Valdez oil spill differ?
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.

What industries were wiped out from the Exxon oil spill?
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.
Who should be responsible for paying for clean up and environmental restoration from the gulf of Mexico oil spill?
BP. The law changed after the Exxon-Valdez accident, to require BP to pay for clean-up costs. It may be infeasible to clean all marsh areas. So, it remains to be seen what BP will do to compensate others for the environmental damages. See related link.
