2010 Gulf Coast Oil Spill

The oil spill disaster in the Gulf Coast is one of the most significant threats to the environment our country has faced in decades. It has the potential to devastate fragile coastal communities and ecosystems beyond repair, easily making it far worse than the Exxon Valdez disaster of 1989.
