What were the environmental effects on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill?

When the Exxon Valdez hit Bligh Reef in March 1989, splitting its side open and releasing up to 115,000 m³ of crude oil, the spillage affected 1,900 km of coastline; loss of wildlife estimates were 250,000 seabirds, nearly 3,000 sea otters, 300 harbour seals, 250 bald eagles, up to 22 killer whales and billions of salmon and herring eggs.
