The Gulf Oil Spill: Effects on Marine Life

January 24th, 2012

On April 20, 2010, an explosion and fire aboard an oil drilling platform unleashed a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Deepwater Explorer disaster has imperiled the ecosystem along the US Gulf Coast. Shark species in this part of the Gulf can come into direct contact with the chemicals in the oil, giving their flesh harmful levels of these toxins.

    BP is flooding the ocean with lighter hydrocarbons in order to lessen the visual evidence instead of capping the well. They should be forced out of the energy business. Just stop buying anything that they produce. They are the same comapny that buys up our solar technology and never puts any products out. China is kicking our A$% in solar energy production.

    @satheeshactsinfo Planetresource(dot)net has a Eco friendly solution to clean up the tragedy British Petroleum has created
    One person can still make a difference in this world, is that simple interactions have a rippling effect. Each time this gets pass along, the hope in cleaning our planet is passed on .watch the youtube video title “COMPLETE CLEAN UP OF THE GULF SPILL” by? PRR7075

    Very good presentation of facts. Did you watch the other videos showing the toxic effect that the oil spill is having on fish? What about the toxic effects on fishermen and others participating in clean up efforts. This goo is really bad stuff!
