The photo is of a commercial fisherman. I was walking along one of the commercial fishing docks in Squalicum harbor & this fisherman was being interviewed by a newsman because he was a party to the suit against EXXON that resulted from the Valdez spill in 1989. The recent pro-corporate U.S. Supreme Court decision will leave him with only one tenth of the payment he was due for losses he experienced, for which payment he's waited almost 20 years.
The fisherman & I do not know each other, but we've spoken together pleasantly a few times during the past 4 years at a pub each of us visits from time to time.

EXXON Dodges Punitive Damages for Valdez Spill
June 27, 2008
The U.S. Supreme Court capped damages for the Exxon Valdez oil spill at a fraction of what an Alaskan jury awarded
By David Biello
EXCERPT from article in "Scientific American"
Oil giant ExxonMobil will pay the equivalent of 24 hours worth of petroleum sales to the people impacted by the 11 million gallons (41.5 million liters) of crude oil spilled into Prince William Sound in Alaska in 1989 when the drunken skipper of the Exxon Valdez allowed the tanker to run aground, according to a U.S. Supreme Court decision. The ruling caps the total damages assessed to the company at $507.5 million, a fraction of the $5 billion a jury initially awarded in 1994.
"This means that corporations like Exxon can simply put a price tag on the destruction of our marine life, our oceans and, ultimately families," says Jim Ayers, Juneau-based vice president at marine environmental group Oceana and the first executive director of the trust set up to manage the recovery and restoration of the sound. "They can estimate the value of that loss, put it into the expense column and roll forward with blatant disregard."
.... Some 32,677 landowners, native Alaskans, commercial fishermen, seafood processors and small business owners—as well as lawyers—will now divide as much as $507.5 million in damages.
