Talking About The Theme
Read the text carefully, then do the activities
(§1)On March 24, 1989, shortly after midnight, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez struck Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska, spilling more than 11 million gallons of crude oil. The spill was the largest in U.S history and tested the abilities of local, national and industrial organizations to prepare for and respond to a disaster of such magnitude. Many factors complicated the clean-up efforts following the spill. The size of the spill and its remote location, accessible only by helicopter and boat, made government and industry efforts difficult and tested existing plans for dealing with such an event.
(§2)The spill posed threats to delicate food chain that supports Prince William Sound’s commercial fishing industry. Also in danger were ten million migratory shore birds and waterfowl, hundreds of sea otters, dozens of other species such as harbor porpoises and sea lions and several varieties of whales.
