The Exxon Valdez oil spill, which occurred in 1989, involved a massive cleanup effort that utilized a combination of techniques. Initial responses included the use of containment booms to prevent the spread of oil and skimmers to remove it from the water's surface. Additionally, high-pressure washing, manual cleanup, and the application of chemical dispersants were employed to break down the oil. Despite these efforts, the ecological impact was long-lasting, and some areas took years to recover fully.
