The ideal solution to avoiding oil spills would be to stop drilling and transporting oil across oceans completely. Unfortunately, this is inconceivable in modern society, so other solutions must come in to play. Even though no one wants to give up more money, spending on safety features would be nothing but beneficial. Also, better employee training would be helpful as well. The crew on oil rigs should be better prepared for emergency situations so huge disasters can be avoided. In addition, the public should be more aware of not only the effects oil spills have on marine animals, but also the occurrence of spills themselves. Finally, if oil companies were made more liable for oil spills, they would be much more careful and pay more attention to detail. Since they would be held responsible, companies would drill with more care.
