The study found that about 85 tons of residual oil from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill remains on beaches in Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. The oil is disappearing at a rate of only 3-4% per year in Prince William Sound, and even slower in the Gulf of Alaska due to the emulsified consistency of the oil. The lingering oil poses risks to wildlife and can discourage subsistence food harvesting. The findings surprised scientists with the amount and persistence of oil remaining over 25 years after the spill.

You can’t break down silos, but you can connect themChristiaan Lustig
As online professionals you want to break down organisational silos. But it’s not going to work. Not if you keep talking about “content”, and keep mistaking “strategy” for tactics and operations. Besides, if you did succeed, you’d end up with one big, inflexible and non-scalable silo.
Organisational processes are there for good reasons, anyway. But still, more often than not they get in the way of your customers. That’s why your organisation — be it commercial, government or non-profit — should rigorously prioritise your customer’s process over your own. But how?
Identify what your customer’s top tasks are, and continuously optimise their related (online and offline) processes. This enables cross-silo teams to work on a common goal, resulting in better products and services, happier customers, and higher revenues and/or lower costs.
And you’ll be able to show management that you did that.

A new report from the National Wildlife Federation looks at how 20 species that depend on a healthy Gulf are faring in the wake of the BP oil spill. The full extent of the spill’s impacts may take years or even decades to unfold, but Five Years & Counting: Gulf Wildlife in the Aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster examines what the science tells us so far.
The U.S. Department of Interior will make a decision on whether they plan to lease the North Aleutian Basin (Bristol Bay) for offshore oil and gas drilling that could jeopardize fisheries, wildlife and the communities they support while offering few jobs and benefits to local residents.
Be Involved: Attend a presentation and discussion! Hear the facts, discuss the proposal, and learn how to comment to decision-makers by the September 21st comments deadline. There will be refreshments, information and a chance to sound off! It’s free and open to the public.

Fisheries harvest Antarctic Krill in the Southern Ocean where the krill both breed and live. The krill can become six centimeters long and weigh up to two grams. They have large black eyes and translucent pink shells.
This National Wildlife Federation report details how 14 Gulf wildlife species are faring in the wake of BP's 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster in the Gulf. Since the tragedy, NWF has closely monitored the harm done to wildlife and important habitats in the Gulf and along the coast. Though the full impacts of the oil spill remain unknown, this summarizes what we know so far, and what restoration still needs to be done. http://www.nwf.org/fouryearslater

9. ANCHORAGE, Alaska--About 85 tons of residual oil from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill remains
on the beaches of Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska, according to a study by scientists
from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration slated for publication Feb. 15.
The study, which will be published in Environmental Science & Technology, the journal of the
American Chemical Society, is based on evaluations of beaches made between 2001 and 2005,
although surveys were also done in 2006 and are scheduled to be conducted annually.
The oil is disappearing at a rate of only 3 percent to 4 percent in Prince William Sound, the study
said. In the Gulf of Alaska, the rate of degradation is even slower because of the physical
characteristics of the oil, which has been whipped into an emulsified, mousse-like consistency that
effectively creates a shell, said NOAA scientist Jeff Short, one of the report's main authors. "So
probably what's there is going away even slower, as in potentially not at all," Short said.
The persistence poses risks for sea otters, ducks, and shorebirds that forage for food in the
intertidal zone, the report said. It also creates a source of chronic, low-level contamination; could
discourage subsistence food harvesting in certain spots; and degrades the wilderness character of
protected lands, the study concluded.
The findings--both in terms of oil volume and persistence--were surprising, Short said. The
researchers found that the characteristics of the shorelines caused the oil that reached them to
percolate below the surface and stay there, he said. "There's some very unusual factors that
conspire in the Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound beaches to prolong this persistence. Most
other places in the world, it would not be so persistent," he said.
In Prince William Sound, the less-viscous oil easily seeped into low-particle beaches, while in the
Gulf of Alaska, the oil--more viscous as it was whipped into its mousse-like consistency--trickled
into the cracks of the rock- and boulder-plated shores, he said
