Abstract In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, much has been learned about the biological, ecological, physical, and chemical conditions of the Gulf of Mexico. In parallel, the research community has also gained insight about the social and organizational structures and processes necessary for oil spill response and subsequent marine and coastal restoration. However, even with these lessons from both the Deepwater Horizon and previous spills, including 1989’s Exxon Valdez and the Ixtoc 1 in 1979, our understanding of how to avoid future crises has not advanced at the same pace as offshore oil and gas development. We argue that this progress deficit indicates a continued devaluing of marine and coastal resources. We believe that we must, instead, advance a proactive conservation ethic based on the precautionary principle and an appropriately placed burden of proof—strategies that will help reduce our reliance on costly restoration and protect marine and coastal ecosystems.

改善海洋和沿海生态系统恢复和保护的整合:深水地平线灾难的教训

摘要 在深水地平线灾难之后,人们对墨西哥湾的生物、生态、物理和化学条件有了很多了解。与此同时,研究界还深入了解了溢油响应以及随后的海洋和沿海恢复所需的社会和组织结构和过程。然而,即使从深水地平线和之前的泄漏事件(包括 1989 年的 Exxon Valdez 和 1979 年的 Ixtoc 1)中吸取了这些教训,我们对如何避免未来危机的理解并没有与海上石油和天然气开发同步。我们认为,这种进展赤字表明海洋和沿海资源的持续贬值。我们认为,我们必须,相反,
