Marine otters are already extremely rare, but now an oil spill in Peru is further killing dozens of them. Also plankton, seals, fish, penguins, crabs, basically the whole ecosystem of a pristine natural region has been destroyed.

The Spanish oil company Repsol, which spilled 6000 barrels of oil, is being fined $36 million. Repsol has an annual revenue of $56 billion. That means it'll take them about 5½ hours to recover all the money from the fine.

Fines are just cost of doing business. If you're a big enough company you can get away with murder.

Video of a marine otter unsuccessfully trying to clean oil from its fur by rubbing in the sand. Otters are difficult to capture and so many can't be rescued. Many have already been found dead.

Is anyone working to clean the spill up?

Do you know of any organizations to which one could donate to help with the cleanup effort?
