The Deepwater Horizon oil spill began on 20 April 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico on a British
Petroleum offshore platform. Eleven people died and is considered the largest accidental marine oil
spill in the history of the petroleum industry. Following the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater
Horizon platform, the petroleum flowed for 87 days, until it was sealed on 15 July 2010. The US
Government estimated the total discharge at 4.9 million barrels were spilled to the sea. After several
failed efforts to contain the flow, the well was declared sealed on 19 September 2010.
Due to the months-long spill, along with adverse effects from the response and cleanup
activities, extensive damage to marine and wildlife animals and fishing and tourism industries were
reported. In Louisiana, 4.6 million pounds of oily material was removed from the beaches in 2013.
In 2013 it was reported that dolphins and other marine life continued to die in record numbers with
infant dolphins dying at six times the normal rate. One study released in 2014 reported that tuna
and amberjack that were exposed to oil from the spill developed deformities of the heart and other
organs that would be expected to be fatal or at least life-shortening and another study found
that cardiotoxicity might have been widespread in animal life exposed to the spill.
