The first cleanup response was through the use of a surfactant and solvent mixture called a dispersant. A private company applied dispersant on 24 March with a helicopter and dispersant bucket. Because there was not enough wave action to mix the dispersant with the oil in the water, the use of the dispersant was discontinued. One trial burn was also conducted during the early stages of the spill, in a region of the spill isolated from the rest by a fire-resistant boom. The test was relatively successful, but because of unfavorable weather no additional burning was attempted in this cleanup effort. Mechanical cleanup was started shortly afterwards using booms and skimmers, but the skimmers were not readily available during the first 24 hours following the spill, and thick oil and kelp tended to clog the equipment. [9]Exxon was widely criticized for its slow response to cleaning up the disaster and John Devens, the Mayor of Valdez, has said his community felt betrayed by Exxon's inadequate response to the crisis.[10] Working with the U.S. Coast Guard, which officially led the response, Exxon mounted a cleanup effort that exceeded in cost, scope and thoroughness any previous oil spill cleanup. More than 11,000 Alaska residents, along with some Exxon employees, worked throughout the region to try to restore the environment.Because Prince William Sound contained many rocky coves where the oil collected, the decision was taken to displace it with high-pressure hot water. But this also displaced and destroyed the microbial populations on the shoreline; many of these organisms (e.g. Plankton) are the basis of the coastal marine food chain, and others (e.g. certain bacteria and fungi) are capable of facilitating the biodegradation of oil. Some think the oil should have been left where it was to degrade gradually;[citation needed] at the time, both scientific advice and public pressure was to clean everything, but since then, a much greater understanding of natural and facilitated remediation processes has developed[11][12], due somewhat in part to the opportunity presented for study by the Exxon Valdez spill.Exxon later released "Scientists and the Alaska Oil Spill," a video carrying the label "A Video for Students", provided to schools; this video is reputed to misrepresent the clean-up process.[13]Despite the extensive cleanup attempts, a study conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the USA determined that as of early 2007 more than 26,000 gallons of oil remain in the sandy soil of the contaminated shoreline, declining at a rate of less than 4% per year.[14] отговор Сигнализирай

Какви погроми си видяла.. Какви туристи ? Ти някога била ли си в чужд курорт? Аз съм бил и ще ти кажа , че бетона там е стотици пъти повече, ще ти кажа ,че дори пясък нямат.. хотелите са много стари и до 4 звезди дори нямат климатик, телевизор и хладилник... Обиколил съм и трите острова на Малта и само камъни без пясък и Гърция съм обикалял, гръцките плажове са като от чакълени ивици.. Ние сме като райско кътче Не гласувах . за да спася черноморието от бетон!!! ми един разлив ще разсипе хилядократно повече - то ни флора ни фауна ще отцелеее... отговор Сигнализирай
