Description ▲
In this account of the ecological effects of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill on Prince William Sound, the story is told of a region where natural disturbance is normal. While the spill had toxic short-term effects, the author concludes that the cleanup efforts perpetrated more damage than the oil.
