From the pictures it appears to have plenty of dead vegetation, but the erosion doesn't appear to have accelerated any faster than it was in the previous time frame.

Does it help? No. Is it responsible? That is a stretch.

Except that vegetation is the number one factor in slowing down erosion. It's the best velocity dissipation you can get.

So as far as accelerated erosion goes.. if the spill had a negative effect on vegetation than it is safe to say if had a negative impact on erosion.
