Sixteen years on, Deepwater Horizon's deep sea damage persists
Original: Sixteen years after Deepwater Horizon, deep sea life shows few signs of recovery
Sixteen years after the Deepwater Horizon disaster dumped millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, researchers report that deep sea ecosystems show little sign of recovery. Coral communities and seafloor habitats affected by the spill remain damaged, underscoring how slowly life at depth rebounds from oil contamination and reinforcing concerns about long-term impacts of offshore drilling.
Why now: New reporting marks the disaster's anniversary with findings that deep sea life has not recovered.
