It doesn't help when the protocol is to pull a boat up onto the small island, unload 12 people to trample across the fragile island and vegetation, to haul off 18 trashbags of material, to get rid of less than a pint of oil covering 4 sq ft of shell. I watched the cleanup first-hand. Much of it was exponentially more damaging than the actual impact of the oil in many places.
