Lessons To Be Learned: The National Park Service Administrative History and Assessment of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill

Kurtz RS. 1995. Lessons To Be Learned: The National Park Service Administrative History and Assessment of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Park Administrative Histories. National Park Service

This study differs in several respects from many earlier studies. The National Park Service (NPS) commissioned this study to provide an accurate historical accounting and policy assessment of the park service's efforts to combat, assess, and rectify the oiling of park unit coasts of the Kenai Fjords, Katmai, and Aniakchak units. The study reaches beyond the initial pre- and post-spill accounting of most other versions of the event. The study incorporates a discussion of all major facets of park service post-spill involvement over the past several years. In this respect the study goes well beyond an earlier NPS report which documented the park service's initial response to the event.
