A legacy lurking beneath

Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court slashed a civil judgment of $5 billion originally awarded  to Alaskan fishermen and other businesses that were harmed in one of the most notorious environmental disasters in American history. In March, 1989 the Exxon Valdez struck a reef off of Alaska spilling 11 million gallons of crude oil into the Prince William Sound that washed up on hundreds of miles of coastline.

The Court's decision limited punitive damages to the civil plaintiffs to $500 million, but the legacy of the accident will persist long after the attorney's fees have been settled. Part of the incident's notoriety has been sustained by stunning images of oil-fouled marine birds and animals.
