Answer 2

1. The Amoco Cadiz Oil spill (1978)

The Amoco Cadiz, a very large crude carrier (VLCC) stocked with nearly 69 million gallons of light crude oil, ran aground on shallow rocks off the coast of Brittany, France, on the morning of March 16, 1978. The ship was navigating the rough seas of the English Channel when its rudder and hydraulic system were damaged by a large wave. Rescue tugs attempted to secure towlines to the Cadiz, but sea conditions made the operation difficult. The first of the towlines broke only a few hours after being secured. By the time a second line could be attached, the Cadiz had been driven by winds and waves toward the Brittany coast, where the stern and midsection clipped shallow underwater rocks. The impact slashed holes in the hull and container tanks and released the oil. About 200 miles (321 km) of French coast was polluted by the oil slick, which killed millions of invertebrates, such as mollusks and crustaceans, and an estimated 20,000 birds, and contaminated oyster beds in the region. In 1990 Amoco Corporation, the owners of the Cadiz, agreed to pay $120 million to French claimants, along with an additional $35 million to Royal Dutch Shell, which had owned the lost oil.

2. The Kolva River Spill (1994)

The Kolva River oil spill was caused by a breach in a corroded oil pipeline in the Russian Arctic. Oil pooled around the rupture site for eight months, contained by a dike, but the dike later gave way, spilling roughly 84 million gallons of oil into the Kolva River. Some 186 square km (about 72 square miles) of tundra and wetlands were tainted by oil. Oil leaks from pipelines in the region continued to release millions of gallons of oil into the landscape, some of which reached the Kolva River.
