Yet, there\u2019s no plan to stop the leak. <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"1389\">During the 1941 attack all eight American battleships in the harbor were hit with torpedoes, spilling thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean. The USS\u202fArizona had just been topped off with oil the day before, and the subsequent fire burned for two days after the attack. \u201cIt was an environmental disaster here,\u201d said Daniel Martinez, historian with the National Park Service at Pearl Harbor.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1816\">It\u2019s believed between 14,000 and 64,000 gallons of oil have leaked from the USS\u202fArizona since the attack, and the National Park Service estimates it could continue to leak for 500 years. Oil is also leaking from the USS\u202fUtah, a smaller battleship sunk during the attack, but the Navy and National Park Service don\u2019t know how much is leaking every day or how much oil remains on the ship. <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1821\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"1848\">Environmental Impacts<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"2248\">\u201cPeople talk about how beautiful it is to see the oil glisten on the top of the water and how it reminds them of the lives lost,\u201d said Maxx Phillips, environmental attorney and Hawaii director for the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cAll it does is make me think about the lives lost\u2026 everything from our bacteria all the way up the food chain to our sharks.\u201d <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2250\" data-end=\"2808\">Coral has grown on the ship, and seahorses and sea turtles swim alongside it. A young hammerhead shark recently made the wreckage its home, as did a black\u2011tipped reef shark. The Navy and NPS point to these signs of biodiversity as evidence that \u201cthe leaking oil is not a significant concern.\u201d But Phillips argues that more life in the harbor equates to more exposure to toxins. \u201cScientists are all clear that exposing corals to even a small amount of oil over time can be just as harmful as a large oil spill,\u201d she said. <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2810\" data-end=\"3379\">According to Lydia Robertson, a Navy public affairs official, the Navy, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and NOAA have conducted studies about the USS\u202fArizona and USS\u202fUtah and are aware of the oil\u2019s environmental impact. However, Katie Bojakowski, a National Park ranger and shipwreck expert, said she wasn\u2019t aware of any studies focused on the long\u2011term environmental consequences. NOAA\u2019s Brady Phillips echoed this, and the Navy and USFWS did not respond to Civil Beat\u2019s requests to review any such studies. <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3381\" data-end=\"4013\">A 2008 Department of Defense report found the oil leaking from the USS Arizona was especially harmful, noting its long\u2011term persistence in the environment and the increased exposure to toxic components. The report recommended more research to inform management decisions addressing the leak\u2019s actual environmental impact. It\u2019s pointed out that even small, chronic doses of oil can impair the respiratory, immune, and hormonal systems of sea turtles, sharks, and sea birds. \u201cThe entire reef ecosystem suffers\u2014not just from big spills but from smaller doses over extended periods,\u201d said Phillips. <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4015\" data-end=\"4018\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"4020\" data-end=\"4054\">Why Hasn\u2019t It Been Cleaned Up?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4056\" data-end=\"4756\">\u201cIf Arizona were any other ship in any other harbor, the oil may already have been removed,\u201d noted the 2008 DOD report. Technology exists\u2014and has been used on wrecks in much deeper or harder\u2011to\u2011reach environments\u2014to remove oil. Still, the USS Arizona isn\u2019t typical\u2014it\u2019s an active military grave. More than 900 of the 1,177 servicemen who died aboard remain entombed there, and over 40 survivors chose to have their urns placed on the ship. The oil, called \u201cthe black tears of the Arizona\u201d by some, has symbolic weight. Martinez said, \u201cAt this moment you\u2019re smelling and seeing the oil that\u2019s been leaking since December 7, 1941\u2026 it\u2019s almost like a time machine.\u201d <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4758\" data-end=\"5224\">Much oil is trapped in hull structures and fuel tanks lodged deep in harbor mud, making extraction difficult and costly. Bojakowski said there\u2019s uncertainty whether the oil in those tanks helps maintain structural integrity. Robertson said removal could harm artifacts on board, disturb bodies, or urns. In contrast, other battleships damaged during the attack were salvaged. Parts of the Arizona were even removed in the 1960s. <span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">Honolulu Civil Beat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5226\" data-end=\"5580\">Rudy Socha, a Marine Corps veteran and founder of Wounded Nature\u2014Working Veterans, believes oil could be removed safely without disturbing the graves: \u201cWhat they need to do is actually remove the petroleum products,\u201d he said.
