In the last ten years, significant oil spills have occurred in various locations, including the Mauritian coast in 2020, where the Wakashio bulk carrier ran aground, spilling around 1,000 tons of oil. In 2018, a spill in the Gulf of Mexico resulted from a pipeline leak, releasing thousands of gallons of crude oil into the water. Additionally, in 2021, a spill off the coast of California caused by a pipeline rupture discharged oil into the Pacific Ocean. These events highlight the ongoing environmental risks associated with oil transportation and extraction.
