Evidence destroyed: the luckiest oil spill

Une #marée_noire de 74 jours fin 2009 dans la mer de #Timor, au nord-ouest de l’#Australie, passe inaperçue : ceux qui devaient contrôler contrôlaient peu... et empochaient l’argent.
“Borthwick did not conclude the environmental damage was minimal.
On the contrary, he said the environmental monitoring was so poor we might never know the truth.
It is unlikely that the full impact of the blowout will ever be known. This reflects the vast and remote area affected by the spill; the absence of solid reliable baseline data on species and ecosystems, and the slow response in putting together a monitoring plan.
The crime scene had been destroyed, by time, by wind and by the seas.”
