The kind of oil spill that hit the Tofina area in January 1989 must never happen again. These spills leave toxic waste, kill thousands and thousands of wildlife, and take days and days to even partially clean up. Lifting the moratorium on off-shore oil and gas exploration could open the coast to more of such spills. It is the Wilderness Committee's position that the moratorium must continue.
