It's not as bad as it could be. All the
oil is off the
water and the shore cleanup is progressing on Angel Island and Brooks Island.
It could have been a lot worse. In a sense, it is a good thing we had a relatively small spill before we ever have a big spill. This was in a sense a beta test for the
government agencies etc which are responsible for managing the spill. Much went wrong and hopefully they can learn by the
mistakes made this time.
