Responding to Oil Spills on Shore · A massive oil spill can really muck up a coastline, as NOAA scientists learned when they raced to remote Prince William Sound, Alaska, in March 1989. In the wake of the EXXON Valdez oil spill — one of the worst U.S. spills in history — responders took shovels and hoses in hand. Since that time, many new techniques have been developed that are now used routinely in coastal cleanups. NOAA experts help to evaluate trade-offs and best practices in oil spill ...
