I have been to Prince William Sound in Alaska and toured the area by boat.

You cannot see any signs that an oil-spill took place.

The damage done by detergents and steam-cleaning - not oil - to that place was terrible. There are still sterile patches.

But the ‘control’ beach they just left to itself has done really well.
