Oil spills |
|
Every day tens of thousands of ships travel the world's oceans carrying cargo and goods. When large oil tankers have accidents the results can be devastating for our wildlife.
In 1989 the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran into a reef in Alaska and spilt around 40 million litres of crude oil into the sea. In one of the world's worst environmental disasters the incident killed hundreds of thousands of sea animals, including sea otters, sea birds, seals and orcas. Disasters like this must never happen again. |
