2011年中国最严重的渤海溢油事故并未完结。2012年，溢油事故后续的污染治理、环境修复、受害者赔偿始终风波不断。一面是国内法院面对渔民巨额索赔诉求的麻木，一面是农业部、海洋局以行政力量用力推动“一揽子”的赔偿方案，一场原本可以成为国内海洋溢油污染治理、损害赔偿经典案例的事故，再次落入维稳窠臼，导致愤怒的渔民远赴美国寻求司法救济，给一起原本并不复杂的事件，留下了重重隐患。而在过去的一年中，中国的其他海洋污染事件频发，海洋环境状况不容乐观，海洋污染却因远在人们的视线之外而被漠视。
Until today,the 2011 Bohai Sea oil spill incident has not come to an end. Disputes over follow-up pollution treatment,environment renovation and compensation have been constantly heard. On one side,Chinese courts remain indifferent to the compensation claim; on the other side,the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Ocean Service advocate a wholesale compensation package. Instead of becoming a typical ocean pollution and compensation case,the incident has fallen victim to the need of maintaining stability. Disappointed angry fishermen have been seeking legal support in the U.S.,complicating the scene further. In face of successive ocean pollution incidents in the last year,there is no reason for us to be optimistic. Ocean pollution remains out of sight and largely overlooked.
