OIL SPILL BY: Joann Ahn & Peter le

What is an Oil Spill? Release of liquid petroleum into environment From drilling rigs, wells, and offshore platforms

CAUSES?? Unintentional Mostly accidents Occurs during transport

EXAMPLE BP in the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion

BP Oil Spill (Con’t) Leaking oil and gas in deep waters Oil gushed for 87 days More than surface

EFFECTS!!! Negatively harms marine and terrestrial life Can damage ecosystems of these organisms

Marine Life Hazardous to marine mammals Dolphins and sea turtles in danger?

TERRESTRIAL LIFE Seabirds can become trapped in the spilled oil Animals residing near the coast can come into contact with the oil and become ill or harmed

ECONOMIC CRISIS Jobs ? Unconcerned government Unwilling to contribute $$

KEY ISSUE Damage is clearly unnoticed What is the true cost? Who takes responsibility?

HOW TO SOLVE? Closer government regulation More money contributed to clean up Realize truth! Chemical Dispersants?

How you can help! Inspection of deterioration and leaks in equipment Check pipes and supply lines Overpressure? Install oil safety valve!

QUESTIONS? Is it worth trying to clean up the spill if it may potentially lead to other damages?
