In total, an estimated 43,491 barrels (1,826,622 gallons) of oil remained unrecovered at the time submerged oil cleanup operations were discontinued in January 2006. Government agencies responded to the incident to supervise and assist in clean-up and begin assessing the impact of the spill on natural resources.
