Everyone has seen the image of the oil-covered bird clinging to life on an oil-soaked shoreline. We all know very well the impact of large-scale oil spills on our environment and indigenous wildlife and sea life. But did you know that there are over 100 serious oil spills every year? [see oil spill statistics]
The majority of the world's fleet of 7,000 oil tankers has aged to the critical point where spills caused by mechanical failure are more frequent with every passing year.
Oil spills often result in billions of dollars spent annually in clean-up costs, fines, civil and criminal liability settlements, legal fees, and other costs that are paid for, in the end, by the public. The total cost to date of the infamous Exxon Valdez spill is over $10 billion. Did you know that over the past 40 years there have been more than 70 oil spills larger than the Exxon Valdez spill.
Futile shoreline clean-up has always been the conventional response. All current methods of combating large oil spills involve action after the marine and coastal pollution is beyond control. The truth is that devastating oil spills continue worldwide and the entire world agrees that we need better solutions.
