Hazelwood impaired by alcohol -He gave Gregory Cousins (third mate) instruction to leave shipping lanes to avoid icebergs. -Robert Kagan replaced Cousins, failed to make the turn back into shipping lanes. -Ran aground Bligh Reef around midnight March 24, 1989

Effects of The Spill -1,300 miles of shoreline impacted - Oil can still be found in virtually every cove or beach, just under the surface (Rj Kopchak) -Many people lost source of income due to decrease in fish population -A countless number of animals died; estimates are: 250,000 seabirds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, up to 22 killer whales, and billions of salmon and herring eggs.

New Rules and Regulations - US Coast guard now closely monitors tankers via satellite -Two escort vessels accompany tanker through the sound -Congress established legislation requiring tankers to be double-hulled by 2015 -Contingency planning for oil spills up to 12.6 million gallons - skimming systems now recover over 300,000 barrels in 72 hours

New Rules and Regulations Continued - seven barges available to put oil/water mix into, can hold over 800,000 barrels - 40 miles of containment boom in PW Sound -Dispersants are plenty, systems in place to apply from helicopters, airplanes, and boats
