Oil Spill Containment - Outcome

Option 4E: Temporary Absorbent Marshlands

Regrettably, your team’s choice of creating a temporary absorbent marshland had unforeseen negative consequences. While this approach was aimed at minimizing the ecological impact of the spill and facilitating efficient cleanup, its complex implementation presented even greater challenges than initially anticipated.

The temporary nature of these marshlands exacerbated the issue, rendering them less effective than anticipated. Despite your team’s dedicated efforts, the marsh creation approach struggled to adequately trap and contain the oil, allowing it to spread further and inflict more severe damage on the delicate ecosystems.

The negative publicity surrounding the ineffective marsh creation approach began to have wider repercussions, affecting Amazonia’s reputation beyond the immediate crisis. Environmental activists and organizations seized the opportunity to criticize your company’s environmental responsibility and commitment to the Amazon Basin’s well-being. This, in turn, resulted in additional legal challenges and regulatory investigations, posing further challenges to Amazonia’s operations in the region.
