What are the long-term effects of oil spills on the envirnoment? How well do "clean-ups" work?
Are the areas affected returned to their pre-spill conditions? Do plant and animal life return to normal? I can find no information on this situation. If things cleaned up well, don't you think the companies would be bragging about it? All I hear is rumours that the Exxon Valdex mess is still affecting the envirnoment. Does anyone have any firsthand experience or links they could recomend?

Clean ups are cosmetic. Just dig on any beach in the gulf coast area and you will find oil from countless spills. It takes nature's micro-organisms to clean up oil spills as oil is organic material from millions of years ago. For the Valdez spill, you literally just have to turn the stones on the beach over to find the other side still coated with oil.
