Abstract

The rig, leased to British Petroleum (BP), sank leading to an oil spill that is now the worst in US history surpassing even the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster. Six week-long efforts costing BP over US $750 million have failed to contain the spread of oil. Nearly 161 km of coastline has been affected. With thousands of barrels of oil pouring into the waters everyday, scientists fear the worst—the oil has headed straight for the Gulf marshes threatening the lives of over 90 per cent bird and fish species.
