Three US Oil Spills Damage Rivers and Coasts A total of 84 000 gallons of crude oil spilled in the Pacific Ocean from the US tanker John A. MeCone following a tank rupture at Long Beach, California. Divers patched up the leak, the cause of which has not yet been discovered. The cleanup took a total of 4310 m of boom, after oil congealed into balls in the water and it was possible to recover some with buckets. About 200 gallons of oil washed onto nearby beaches but none onto the sensitive marshes and refuge sites north of the spill area. An undetermined amount of oil leaked from a cracked pipeline in Connecticut, causing a dock to be saturated and six other pipes to crack. Between 50-75000 gallons of oil spilled which drained mostly into the Connecticut river. The US Coast Guard said that the leak, which was first reported as a small leak until the dock began to erode, could have been caused by ice. In a third incident up to 10 000 gallons of fuel oil spilled into the Fore River in South Portland, Maine, during offloading of the American tanker Saroula. The spill was not noticed for several hours due to darkness and was caused by defective valves.
Turtle Trade Danger The Hawksbill turtle is seriously threatened with extinction, according to reports by CITES, the Washington
Antarctic Caution Call Pending serious discussions on the minerals regime for Antarctica by the thirteen Antarctic Treaty nations, calls for caution and forethought have come from the conservationist Sierra Club. The US-based organization has said that no mineral exploration or exploitation should begin until sufficient information about the possible environmental impact has been collected. The Club also suggests the setting of cautious catch levels for the harvesting of krill and other marine living resources, taking into account the possible effects on whales and other creatures as well as the fragile ecosystem as a whole.
Amoco Cadiz Aftermath Unusual climatic factors have combined to produce surface slicks from oil unrecovered after the 1978 Amoco Cadiz disaster, along the full length of the Aber Benoit fiver on the north coast of Brittany, France. Massive clean-up operations after the wreck failed to rid completely the areas of all spilled oil. Now high tides, severe winter storms combined with prevailing northeasterly and northwesterly winds have stretched the slicks the full length of the river. The characteristic features of the river-macro-tidal environment and a low river i n p u t - m a k e it highly vulnerable. The stranded oil is expected to remain for several years if left to natural self-cleaning conditions.
