The cleanup operation following the Exxon Valdez oil spill inadvertently harmed more wildlife due to the use of high-pressure washing and toxic dispersants, which disturbed the oil and spread it further along the shoreline. This process not only caused immediate harm to marine life but also destroyed habitats essential for breeding and feeding. Additionally, the stress and dislocation caused by the cleanup activities further weakened animal populations, leading to increased mortality rates. Ultimately, the methods employed during the cleanup failed to mitigate the disaster's ecological impact and instead exacerbated the situation for affected wildlife.
