Buuxi weedhan soo socota: Xadhigga markabka shidaalka ee "Exxon Valdez" ee Prince William Sound 24-kii Maarso, 1989, wuxuu keenay
wasakheynta baaxada leh ee xeebaha Katmai. Bilowgii Abriil, saliida ayaa gaadhay Beerta Qaranka ee Kenai Fjords. Shidaalku wuxuu gaadhay Cape Douglas ee Katmai bishii Abriil 26 wuxuuna u jeedaa koonfurta usbuuca soo socda. Bilowgii Maajo, maraakiib kala duwan oo qodaya iyo maraakiibta qodaya ayaa ka shaqeynayay marinka Shelikof, laakiin 90% xeebaha Katmai ayaa saliid laga saaray. Meelaha ugu daran ee ay waxyeeladu ka soo gaartay waxay ahaayeen Cape Chiniak iyo Chiniak Lagoon, Hallo Bay Beach iyo harada ay ku taal, Cape Gull iyo Kaflia Bay, iyo Cape Douglas. Shimbiraha oo kaliya waxaa ku dhintay 8,400 oo shimbirood. Shaqada ayaa dib loo bilaabay 1990, iyadoo dadaal yar la sameeyay 1991 si loo soo qabto saliiddii ugu dambeysay.
