Abstract
    "Never again!" was demanded forcefully by the residents of Brittany, Galicia, the Basque country and Aquitaine after the Amoco Cadiz, the Aegean Sea and the Prestige went aground. And every time, the authorities promised that everything would be done to avoid it happening again. And yet, the Gulf of Mexico has just lived through what is perhaps the worst oil slick in living memory, without this disaster deploying irreproachable organisation or resources. After "Chemical pollution by shipping", Michel Girin and Emina Mamaca have put their pens together once more to produce a global overview of oil slicks, draw the principal lessons from them, show what has changed in fifty years and finally propose a few additional changes likely to strengthen Man's ability to combat this scourge.
