Exxon Valdez Spill Still Harming Sea Life
- "Small oil patches left from the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill are still releasing toxins that harm sea life, government scientists said Tuesday. Studies by the National Marine Fisheries Service found toxins continuing to flow from lingering crude oil lodged in beaches long after the Exxon supertanker disgorged 11 million gallons of its cargo, causing the worst tanker spill in U.S. waters." - excerpt from Reuters article, Jan. 15, 2003, at http://enn.com/news/wire-stories/2003/01/01152003/s_49355.asp
