2000 Guanabara Bay oil spill
The Guanabara Bay oil spill, one of three major spills in the bay, occurred on January 2000 in Brazil when a leaking pipeline released of oil into Guanabara Bay. It leaked from the oil refinery at Duque de Caxias (REDUC) operated by Petrobras. Petrobas the company at the center of the oil spill immediately moved into gear and hired a cleanup crew to assess the damages and start the process to cleaning up the affected areas. This catastrophic accident had a damaging effect on marine life in the ocean, fishes, as well as, other existing areas surrounding the bay area. Many fishes were washing up on the shore dead or covered in oil. The fishing industry took a nose dive and the fishermen's livelihood was gravely affected. As a matter of fact, the fishing industry was brought to a halt giving rise to economic downfall. There was astronomical cost to be incurred with the clean-up process and the stakeholders were in a state of growing panic.Large areas of mangrove forests were killed and had not grown back ten years later. The tucuxi (''Sotalia fluviatilis'') dolphin species inhabit the bay but were able to avoid the primary effects of the oil spill.
The oil spill was a catalyst for the passage of new environmental law in Brazil.
==The Effects==
There were affects to society and to the marine life and environment at large. The fishing industry suffered tremendously. The fishes and crabs could not get oxygen and as a result, they succumbed to death.〔Harvard Business Review on Greening Your Business Profitably. Boston, Mass: Harvard
