According to a newly released NAACP investigation, the Gulf is not on track to being "stronger than before" but is only getting worse. And much of that "important work required" is not up to par. In the report "My Name is 6508799" –- a reference to many Gulf residents' feeling as if their lives have been reduced to a claims form number –- the NAACP Climate Justice Department details the problems confronting people of color on numerous fronts, ...

From April into midsummer last year, Americans watched BP’s oil spew from the seafloor into the Gulf of Mexico with outrage and guilt that came to feel like a chronic stomachache.
Then, on July 15, it stopped. And within a couple of weeks the bad feelings for a lot of us stopped too. There were reports that the surface oil was quickly disappearing. There was a government study that hopeful journalists misinterpreted to mean that most of the oil was gone.
But the oil wasn’t gone, and it still isn’t. Tar balls are washing around the gulf. Marshes are dying. Scientists say it’s still too early to know the greatest share of the spill’s environmental damage. [...]

The company announced Wednesday that it had earned its first permit to drill for oil in the Gulf since last year's oil spill disaster, and says that a resumption of drilling is imminent.
"The current situation there is we have a drilling rig on-site, and we intend to begin drilling the well as soon as operationally possible," said Tom Mueller, a spokesman for BP.

Im Golf von Mexiko sterben die Delfine
Seit Anfang 2010 verenden im Golf von Mexiko ungewöhnlich viele Wale und Delfine. Eine Studie zeigt nun, wie schlecht es den Meeressäugern dort wirklich geht. Der Verdacht der Forscher: Viele der Tiere leiden und sterben an Spätfolgen der Deepwater-Horizon-Katastrophe.

Scientists recently made a stunning discovery that proves the effects of the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill are still widespread in the Gulf of Mexico.
During a recent study, as many as 10 million gallons of crude oil from the 210-million-gallon spill were discovered in sediment on the Gulf floor. The study was led by Jeff Chanton, Professor of Oceanography at Florida State University, who traveled some 60 miles southeast of the Mississippi Delta to perform the survey.
