Without reporting, there's no records.

I imagine that every oil transport method has risks, but if a particular oil transport method or company is repeatedly causing small spills, wouldn't you want to track it and WARN, FINE, or BAN the offender? What do you think bio? I'm curious.

    People really overreact to oil spills that are of this size and aren't of great danger to the environment.
The effect is cumulative. Anyway, I imagine you've had direct experience of small oil spills.
