Sadly, not. Case in point, forget Discovery Bay if there is a big one. It's not possible to protect it from being flooded with oil. The only real way to protect for an oil spill is to focus heavily on prevention, items like the rescue tug at Neah Bay. And continuing to update our Vessel Traffic system, force continued transition to double hulled vessels (not yet required on freighters, but now required on tankers). And to not build oil ports to increase the huge output of oil carried on the water.
