Not much but I wouldn't be surprise if there is somewhere. There is actually a growing line of thought that much of the oil should have been left to degrade on its own since the cleanup was frequently more destructive than the oil.

Also, Valdez was approximately 220 times more oil than this one. I have no idea what the varying impact of bunker fuel vs. cruse is.

I heard that the problem with the crab fishery isn't oil in the crabs but rather that the water they use in holding takes on boats and piers is surface water from the bay. I wonder if they could rig up something deeper or another alternative. Of course, if the fishery is entirely canceled they'll probably end up making more, in the long run, than if they were able to proceed.
