The Exxon Valdez oil spill had no human casualties but had an immense environmental impact. No people were harmed when Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker owned by the company Exxon Shipping Company, struck Bligh Reef in Alaska's Prince William Sound and spilled 11 million gallons of oil, but the loss of wildlife was huge. The oil spill was spread across 1,300 miles of the coast, according to the AP, and effectively ruined the habitats of herring and pink salmon, two major profit drivers for the fishermen in that area. Experts calculated that some 302 seals, 2,800 otters, and "an unprecedented" number of birds had been killed. After 30 years, some animal populations, including birds and whales, have still not recovered. Though no one died directly from the oil spill, it also had huge impacts on the fishermen in the area, many of whom lost their livelihoods and reportedly saw a big impact on their families. #info #EverythingsInfo
