From the media is the issue now largely disappeared. Occasionally you can still find a newspaper article but even these are increasingly rare while there is no comparable oil spill. We are talking about the oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico.
a result of an explosion on an oil rig 20.April.2010auf energy giant BP came from the well, which is about 1500 meters below sea level, 8,000 liters of crude oil per minute. After this accident horrific pictures were circulating in the media - satellite pictures showed the growing oil slick in the newspapers and seen pictures of oil-stained, some even died, Pelicans.
And even now, more than half a year after the disaster, is still an oil flag, though not visible in the sea. On August 6, 2010 was officially announced that the leak was closed, but until that times were between 500,000 and resigned 1.Million tons of oil. was burned Although a substantial number of the oil or otherwise made harmless but the consequences of this disaster remains to be moved ...

Forecasts were made, according to which the fish and oyster stocks would drastically go back and reportedly had the oxygen content decreased as early as May at about 30 percent of what could cause the smaller marine organisms such as plankton considerable damage which may in the long term disrupt the food network in the sea. And probably was also the mysterious death of fish in the state of Louisian, which occurred about five months after the disaster, in connection with the oil spill. Although such a fish kill is not uncommon in this river due to numerous factors, but it appeared this year in a extreme way on. took
The damage to the marine world seem to be almost immeasurable, and in my opinion it is probably only a matter of time until this disaster will be repeated. There are always accidents involving oil platforms (a list can be found here at Wikipedia ) and are nevertheless still many of them in operation.
