The Gulf of Alaska and the Southern Gulf Coast have been the sites of the two worst oil spills in U.S. history, Exxon Valdez (1989) and Deepwater Horizon (2010), respectively. These spills had devastating impacts – many that persist to this day -- on the environment, human health, the local economy, the seafood industry, and local communities' way of life. As time passes, there is a critical need to preserve hard won lessons from these spills for both regions as well as other regions that might experience oil spills in the future.
