1978 #40

Description

1978 is the year during which a very large crude tanker sank 2 km from the coast of Brittany, France. It is the largest oil spill to that date, with a total oil spill amounting 220,880 metric tonnes of oil. 30% of the aquatic fauna and 5% of the marine flora were destroyed over an area of 1,300 km². Between 3,000 and 4,000 dead birds were counted and it is estimated that at least 10,000 in total died as a result of the disaster. 35 species of fish were affected, having absorbed pollutants, and 22 tonnes of fish and shellfish disappeared. Sadly, this was neither the first nor the last oil spill on this coast. This environnemental disaster was the insipiration of this project. Because not all disasters are inevitable, there is a 5% chance that the oil spill represented in an edition will be only white and harmless foam.
