The Question:

We are looking for information on oil spills that have occurred in the oceans and their effect on the environment. It is for a school report and we do not know where to find the information. Can you help?

The Answer:

We have a list of major oil spills since 1967.

For other information on spills, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Oil Spills Program page is a good place to start.
