My initial “CQ” questions...
Why is there so little “oil spill” content prior to 1967?
Why are these two spills the most “Google”-able?
How does the Exxon-Valdez spill compare to the current disaster?
![Page 34: Beyond the Bar Chart (BLC10)](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051412/5487125ab47959ec0c8b5395/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
My “CQ” discoveries...
? Less offshore drilling, spilling, news coverage, fewer archives?
