    Extractions: Segment length: 9:30 When an oil spill occurs, often due to a ruptured oil tanker or leaking oil rig, people around the world are awed by the damage to the environment. Many oil spills are caused by human error, but there are also naturally-occurring oil spills, such as seepages from oil deposits beneath the ocean floor. Regardless of their origins, oil spills have an impact on the environment. The initial impact of an oil spill on the environment is familiar to those who hear about the event and see its effects on the evening news: a film of oil spreading across the surface of the body of water; oil-stained beaches and shorelines; waterfowl and marine mammals coated with oil, struggling to survive; and the carcasses of wildlife littering the shoreline. The environment sustains some of its most visible damage within the first few days or months of the spill. But what are the long-term effects of a large spill? Some evidence suggests that the oil from the Exxon Valdez spill may have entered the food chain, and that the crude oil itself could continue to wreck havoc with the environment. Since oil floats and crude sinks, both the surface and the bottom of the ocean ecosystem could be affected for a long time.

L.R. Beyon, British Petroleum Environmental Studies speaking for Alyeska in 1971 Our nation's largest oil spill. Four minutes after midnight on March 24, 1989 the Exxon Valdez hit Bligh Reef in Alaska's Prince William Sound. Eleven million gallons of oil spewed into one of the most bountiful marine ecosystems in the world. It killed birds, marine mammals, and fish and devastated the ecosystem in the oil's path. North Slope crude spoiled lands and waters that had sustained Alaska Native people for millennia. Exxon says that the Sound has recovered. They’re wrong. Could it happen again? Before the Exxon Valdez spill, conservationists warned about the potential impacts of a major spill. In fact, just hours before the disaster, a group of Valdez residents had gathered at the city council chambers to discuss the impact of oil on their community.

They will conduct a simple experiment demonstrating the variable densities of corn syrup, water, glycerin, and vegetable oil. Students will then transfer this concept to an examination of cleanup methods used in the Exxon Valdez oil spill. They will conclude by writing paragraphs hypothesizing what would happen during an oil spill if oil and water were the same density and therefore mixed together easily.

87. CNN - Small Oil Spills Add Up To Environmental Hazard - April 29, 1996
    Small oil spills add up to environmental hazard. And since Valdez ran aground, smaller oil barges have been responsible for two of the three worst US spills.

    Extractions: Web posted at: 3:30 p.m. EDT From Correspondent Bruce Burkhardt (CNN) Images of birds covered in crude oil, their wings tarred to their bodies, standing on beaches blanketed with black ooze have become almost commonplace. Environmentalists, however, say the impact on the environment of major spills from oil tankers is just a drop in the barrel compared to oil spilled every day. "What people don't think about is what happens at an oil refinery," said Brent Blackwelder with Friends of the Earth. Pipelines routinely leak and break, he said. ( 128K AIFF sound or 128K WAV sound Pipeline spills reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation average 12 million gallons of petroleum products a year. The Exxon Valdez oil spill, by comparison, spewed out 11 million gallons. Furthermore, the Environmental Protection Agency says that more than a quarter of the nations' one million underground gasoline and oil tanks leak. And since Valdez ran aground, smaller oil barges have been responsible for two of the three worst U.S. spills. The General Accounting Office says an average of 16,000 small oil spills seep into waterways each year half of them during loading or unloading operations. In more recent years, the GAO estimates that

    Extractions: The cumulative impact of repeated small oil spills can devastate the marine environment. The few drops of oil or gasoline spilled during fueling or boat repairs can have dire consequences on marine waters and on the habitats that support marine life. Elimination of these small oil spills is essential to ensuring the health and productivity of our coastal waters, not only for us but for future generations. Washington Sea Grant Program established an Oil Spill Prevention Education Program to help eliminate the causes of these small spills. Educational materials and strategies have been developed not only to enhance public awareness of the impact of oil spills, but to change boater attitudes and encourage the adoption of safe oil-handling procedures and recycling as alternative to pollution-prone operations and disposal. Through WSGP Marine Advisory Services' "hands on" approach, marine operations in Washington have started adopting proven oil recycling technologies to help reduce the threat of oil spills from boats and marinas. Successful WSGP-sponsored oil filter recycling pilot programs have demonstrated that effective oil recycling can be readily integrated into marine operations.

Important to the prevention of future spills is the "fair tide" rule which gives right of way to the vessel with least maneuverability, stopping marine collisions before they have a chance to happen. The real-time currents and water levels utilized by the Coast Guard to enforce this rule at Bergen Point will serve also to provide the source of real-time information necessary for our students to plot and predict the path of a simulated oil spill.

     oil spills A Fact Sheet. What Happens When oil spills When oil spills and mixes with water it can contaminate drinking water, kill fish and poison wildlife.  
     http://www.awma.org/education/oilspills.htm
     
     Extractions: Member Services Events Publications Education Oil Spills - A Fact Sheet REVISION May 1, 2000 Tarred beaches, dead and dying wildlife, damaged fisheries, contaminated water supplies. These are the short-term effects of an oil spill. In the long-term, toxic materials from oil can remain in the water and on the land for many years. They can build up in the food chain to lethal levels, and destroy or disrupt and area's ecosystem. How Oil Spills Occur: Petroleum is used as a vehicle fuel, heating source for homes and industry, for electricity generation, and as a feedstock for the chemical industry. Because of the huge demand for oil, enormous quantities are moved from production areas to where the oil is used. Oil is pumped from the ground, refined, transported and stored. There are many steps in this process during which oil can spill from well heads, drill rigs, tankers, pipelines and storage tanks. Oil may leak from ocean-going ships during accidental and deliberate spills. Spills can happen on land or water when oil is incorrectly handled, there are railway or truck accidents, tankers or barges collide, the insides of tankers are washed, and when natural oil deposits seep. Sometimes when people change the oil in their cars, they dump the used, dirty oil on the ground or down the storm sewer. The rain carries the oil with the metals and particles from the car engine into streams and creeks. If you added up all the oil dumped on the ground in a year, it would equal or surpass a serious oil tanker spill.
