Why Do Oil Spills Keep Happening?
Oil spills keep happening all the time. In fact, there was an oil spill off the coast of Oman on March 23, 2004 – just one day short of the 15 year anniversary of the Exxon spill. In 1990 the Oil Pollution Act was passed, clearly specifying ship maintenance standards. I believe that the only reason ships considered unseaworthy are being used to deliver oil is because some companies are money hungry. With little or no thought to our wildlife, they push a ship on its last leg just so they gain in the end. If companies used common sense, and some thought about our wildlife, before using a rickety ship, not only would they save themselves the cost of clean up, but prevent such wildlife devastation. Do you think more should be done to protect our wildlife from oil spills? Are you concerned about this problem?
