• Describe the main events of the incident and the principle parties involved in a timeline.
• Describe the laws enforced at the time.
• List the ecological risks of the affected area at the time of the spill.
• Forecast what may be required of the oil industry relative to future risk assessments.
• How can economic value be allocated in this scenario?
• Describe the process of defining ecological value and discuss the application of probabilistic risk assessment methods in this case. Discuss the hazards and the risk uncertainties that can lead to a reanalysis of this case using probabilistic assessment.
• Describe how the risk assessment correlated to observed field studies and evaluate the importance of this type of correlation in general for all risk assessment efforts.
• What are the ecological and social values of concern in this case?
• Establish a value for the ecological components in this case. Are there any tradeoffs between wildlife and development? Why or why not? How is this risk assessment actually determined?
