NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) –
As the five-year anniversary of the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig approaches, a new National Wildlife Federation report looks at how twenty species of wildlife are faring in the aftermath of the disaster.
“Five years later, wildlife in the Gulf are still feeling the impacts of the oil spill,” said Collin O’Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. “The science is clear that this is not over—and sea turtles, dolphins, fish, and birds are still suffering from the fallout. Holding BP fully accountable and using all fines and penalties to restore the Gulf of Mexico must be a national priority.”
According to the findings of the NWF report “Five Years and Counting: Gulf Wildlife in the Aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster:”
A federal judge will soon decide the case against BP and the other companies for violations of the Clean Water Act.
