Oil Pollution Act of 1990
Okay kiddo, remember when we talked about how important it is to take care of the ocean and all the animals that live in it? Well, sometimes bad things happen like when boats accidentally spill oil into the water. This is really bad for the environment and can hurt the animals that live there.
So, in 1990, the United States government made a very important rule called the "Oil Pollution Act". This rule helps make sure that people who work with oil (like the companies that own big ships) are responsible for cleaning up any spills and making sure they don't happen again.
The Oil Pollution Act also created a fund of money that these companies have to pay into, just in case there's an oil spill and they need extra help to clean it up. This way, we can help make sure that the animals and the environment can be protected and stay healthy.
So, the Oil Pollution Act is a very important rule that helps make sure that people who work with oil are being responsible and taking care of the environment.
