Oil spill has never been alarmingly destructive until now that gallons of it is polluting the Gulf of Mexico each day and worse spreading farther into the sea after previous efforts to contain it failed. What is more disturbing is it has entered a major ocean current and the repercussions may last for years. Investigation is on the way to measure how much of the oil has been released.<\/p>\n
“So first you have oily water that may be toxic to certain organisms and also the oxygen issue\u2026this can interrupt the food chain at the lowest level, and will trickle up and certainly impact organisms higher. Whales, dolphins, and tuna all depend on lower depths to survive,” said Joye who discovered the plumes. <\/p>\n
A tube sipped more than 42,000 gallons each day while there is an estimated 210,000 more oozing from the damaged well every day and could be greater. <\/p>\n
It appears that the damage outweighs the contamination efforts and it is just the tip of the iceberg. Washington Post points out the greater scheme of what lies below the depths of the sea rich in aquatic life still to be discovered. <\/p>\n
“This is the unseen world imperiled by the uncapped oil well a mile below the surface of the gulf. The millions of gallons of crude, and the introduction of chemicals to disperse it, have thrown this underwater ecosystem into chaos, and scientists have no answer to the questions of how this unintended and uncontrolled experiment in marine biology and chemistry will ultimately play out.”<\/p>\n
President Obama earlier held BP accountable and there is no way this calamity will be solved without its intervention. <\/p>\n
