What is Different about the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill?
- $100 million into post spill research
- Fewer peopleeffects
- Isolatedenvironment

Three Species – Long Term Impacts:
1.) Pink Salmon 4 years
2.) Sea Otters ~10 years
3.) Harlequin Ducks ~10 years
What do these species have in common?Spawn

Residual Oil Effects:
1.) IF Oil is still there
AND
2.) IF Oil is biologically available
AND
3.) IF there is toxicity paradigm shift

Reduced Fitness Results In:
in Survival -
in Deformities
in Growth
in Predator avoidance
in Reproductive SuccessSupported by field and laboratory studies

Conclusions:
Residual oil with 3-5 ring PAH
- can persist
- is toxic
- affects fitness
