Those affected by the catastrophic 1989 oil spill in Prince William Sound are finally receiving compensation in 2008. Nearly 33,000 fishermen and their families were hurt by the devastating spill that Exxon Valdez is responsible for. The Anchorage jury in 1994 determined Exxon should pay $5 billion in punitive damages for the nearly 11 million-gallon oil spill.

I worked with an Alaskan. His family lived on an island, ecosystem now ruined. He said after Valdez, his family had to go to a grocery store for the first time. They had to use food stamps, because they lost their fishing economy/careers.
