The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has become a disaster. The amount of oil spilling from an underwater well after an oil rig explosion has increased to as many as 5,000 barrels of oil a day, or 210,000 gallons, and even higher. As the Gulf of Mexico oil spill continues to extend, concern is growing for the wildlife that stand in its path. Even when efforts have been done to stop the oil before it reached the shores, the efforts have not been successful.
1. Identify 3 immediate consequences of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
2. Identify 3 long-term consequences of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The impact is immediate because it creates a film on the sea surface that prevents the entry of light in water. Within the marine ecosystem there are different species, such as algae, which need the arrival of light to perform photosynthesis. If not, many of them may die.
ReplyDeleteThen, you place an acute contamination, which may even lead to death of many organisms, because the pollutants oil compounds are extremely toxic.
In the long run, the spill caused years in the reproductive and feeding of all organisms in the ecosystem marine. The affected are generally dependent ecosystems plants. Others species of algae and the effects are felt by those living in the sea surface, such as turtles, dolphins and whales that have come to the surface breath.To contact this release are subject to obstructions in the airways.

The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico,created a political dilema,President Obama informed the world about his decision of opening up new regions to do offshore drilling. It creates an enviromental dilema,because the water in the area is very deep and environmentalists predicts,it will be hard to get the spill under control,and a lot of politicians,as well as residents are not happy about it,asking for a better way of solving this huge problem. It created monetary drama because of the loss of millions of dollars by the Deep Water Horizon owned by Transocean,who is responsible for the massive oil spill,as well as the millions the U.S. Government will spend cleaning the water and shores,of the respective affected areas.
ReplyDelete2.The increase of family members loss,due to their efforts of helping out with the disaster,they can get lost at sea or suffer a terrible death just by doing their jobs,i will also create environmental damage,this will affect humans health,people will get sick easier and more diseases will be born. The sea food industry will suffer the consequences thanks to neglect efforts of the people responsible about the oil spill,tourism will be affected,because a lot of people won't be able to travel,enjoy the beaches and there won't be any open hotels or vacant rooms near the area,all because of the risk they face because of the oil spill,and let's not forget all the money that will be spent cleaning the water and shores so the economy and tourism can increase and leave profits,so the U.S. residents in general won't suffer the consequences of going through another economic depression. The bill which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 17% lower than 2005 by 2020,that also includes provisions to expand the domestic production of oil,and nuclear power will get affected by this unnecessary,sad tragedy.

3 immediate consequences
ReplyDelete• The spot has contaminated refuges of wild life in Louisiana and the barrier of islands in Mississippi and Alabama and also it deposited balls of tar in beaches of Florida.
• A third of the federal waters of the Gulf they remain closed to the fishing and the number of birds and marine dead and wounded animals is rising.
• For the human beings also, since on the fishing having been prohibited, the fishermen who depend on these resources do not have of what feeding.
3 long-term consequences
• The birds remain in the beach not to be hurt furthermore and are frozen to death or of hunger. The fish can incorporate organic persistent pollutants and the predators that consume them transmit the petroleum poisoning of an animal to other one for the food chain, To if that long-term also put in risk the safety in the human supply.
• The red tuna that migrates towards the region of the Atlantic Ocean uses the Gulf as zone of reproduction in this epoch of the year. This red tuna is on the verge of extinction what it wants to say that long-term it would disappear
• The majority of the biggest fish, the giants, since we call them, are out of this area at this moment but in way towards the Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, it is probable that they are not affected in the next years … But in 10 years we might experience a great decline of the captures, it predicts

3 immediate consequences of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Experts of the sector denounced that the number provided by the BP is scanty and that the magnitude of the disaster might be “ten times worse “of the estimated for the British company. A few days after the accident, the BP said that the spillage was thousand daily barrels, but it had to be corrected rapidly when federal experts thought that of the submarine well they were sprouting 5.000 barrels per day. While they follow the polemics on the mechanisms used to try to control the spillage, the authorities of Louisiana said that approximately 30 miles of the coast of the condition on the Gulf of Mexico already were reached by the spots of oil.
ReplyDelete3 long-term consequences of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. For worse, scientists of the federal agency that supervises the oceans and the atmosphere (NOAA, for his abbreviation in English) warned that the spillage already entered in touch with the tide known as "Loop Current", which might take the black tide up to the zone of the keys in Florida. The EPA admitted that "he" "does not "know" the magnitude of the environmental impact of the enormous quantity of material that is in use in the Gulf. The big dreads by the environmental negative impact that is producing the spillage of oil in the waters are so raised in concentrations provoke an ascent of the level of acidity in the water, and a minor availability of carbonate, beyond the air pollution and his contribution the global warming.

2. Contamination of the ocean and destruction of marine life is something that will require years and years to make up.
3. A lot of funds are going to be needed in order to carry out clean up efforts and restore the area. (Roberto Omar Montalvo Ruiz)
This is a huge impact on the ecosystem itself. It will not only destroy part of the chain of food and do a big damage in the ocean's life, it wil also affect the tourism and the beautifull sights the gulf of mexico have. So it will be a chains of reactions at the same time, involving economics and nature problems.
ReplyDeleteAbout long term things that could happen is worse. Both economics and nature affect the future of how we live, where we live and when we have to react. The only posible good thing about this, is the fact that the goverment is not prepared to deal with a catastrofic nature disaster like this.

b. Decreased resistance or increased infections in species, especially avifauna.
c. The negative effects on the propagation and reproduction of the marine flora and fauna.
These are some of many consequences that happened even short term or long term. The consequences that still affecting us are the long term since that oil spill happened in 2010. It almost 7 years of this incident and we as one world still facing the consequences, and not knowing till when we still facing it of worse. Is our ecosystem, is our world, and we are supposed to take care of it.

Immediate consequences of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
ReplyDelete1. One immediate consequence of the oil spill is that the spill has caused an alteration and multiple repercussions in the food chain. The dolphins have been affected with an enormous mortality rate. Sea turtle nesting has declined by as much as 40%. Fish, crabs and shrimp have had a huge variation of mutations. Marine life has been greatly affected, from the plankton to the manatee.
2. Also families dependent on fishing will be economically affected as fish are now dying
3. And as a result of the explosion that caused the oil spill, 11 employees and over 12,000 jobs lost due to the ecological spill have disappeared or died.
Long-term consequences of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
1. First long-term consequence is by the time the spill can be completely cleared, all the marine life of the place will have disappeared significantly or those that remain will have tremendous mutations.
2. Another long-term consequence is the oil has been scattered more and more along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, making marine life worse and more difficult to clean the ocean.
3. And the third one is that a significant low in the economy of these coastal states since they not only have to continue investing in the cleaning of the sea, but tourism can be affected by fear of getting sick.
1. The 3 immediate consequences of an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are the following;
ReplyDeletea. The death of ocean an marine life within the Gulf of Mexico.
b. The contamination of beaches and eco-system within the Gulf of Mexico.
c. The possible death of human beings do to the contamination.
2. The long term consequences of an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are the following;
a. which can last for 25 years because the oil does not degrade easily.
b. Toxic elements cause long term severe effects on the marine environment.
c. One of the problems is to specify that patterns of dispersion and decomposition has the hydrocarbon at a thousand meters depth.
1)Immediate consequences-
ReplyDeletea. Fishes, birds, sub-sea vegetation were all affected during the spill
b. Dolphins and other marine life animals continue to die in record number with infants dolphin's dying 6 times the normal rate.
c. tens of thousands of sea turtles were mostly exposed to the oils and petroleum were found in pelican eggs.
2) Long-term consequences-
a. Environmental collapse and years to completely recover.
b. Due to toxins, not only marine animals but humans have suffered health issues as well.
c. Oil still shows up on shore lines.
I think the government should take sirius accion with these oil companys when it comes to transporting oil thru the oceans, the ships should be inspected every time the are filled to prevent oil spills like this one,if the oil companys don't listen to the ristrictons they should be fined and their license cancelled perminetly.the wild life shouldn't have to pay the consecuences of human errors they deserve to live just like us. even tho the companys clean up asfast as they could the water still is contaminated and its still going to spred for miles and not all of yhe oil will be cleaned up.we should look for ways to replace oil to prevent stuff like this happening and destroying our wildlife and earth.julio bonilla.

It gives very little importance to this terrible disaster. Where the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been given very little information and over time has forgotten. To affected a number of marine species between this we can mention fish, turtles, dolphins, whales, among others. As a result of this oil spill have died. The oil affects the digestive system of the fish that are present there. Taking some terrible consequences and long-term impact on the ecosystem. The lives of the soft ground it will take quite some time to get back to the well. Caused Major pollution in the sea, and an area still does not clean up the oil spill. Using a chemical to clean the area causing a disaster much worse. Immediate consequences such as death of marine species by poisoning, choking, toxic components of oil. Increase of infection in marine species. Negative effects in the reproduction of the fauna and flora. Difficult and terrible consequences of power back to the naturalness of these effects. When using different chemical what caused that things could be worse. did not take measures necessary to carry out an effective cleaning. Even with the passing of time is having negative effects on the marine species.

Long term:
ReplyDelete1) The Fishing, Shrimping And Oyster Industries In The Gulf Are Being Destroyed
2) The Damage To The Environment And Wildlife In the Gulf Is Going To Be Unprecedented
3) The Natural Beauty Of The Gulf Coast Region Will Never Be The Same
Immediate consequence:
1) Plants and animals were completely covered in the oil. Seabirds, sea turtles and dolphins have been found dead.
2) Oil that entered wetland areas meant recovery would be slow.
3) Fish stocks were harmed, and productivity decreased.
Harold Perez
ReplyDeleteLong-term Consequences:
1. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has a great impact on the economy because tourism activity will decrease.
2. It will cause great damage to the environment and wildlife and this will be irreversible or it will take many years to recover.
3. The health of people is at risk in the long term as oil spreads further along the coast.
Immediate Consequences:
1. The sea will be affected immediately by the large amount of oil that was spilled causing great pollution in the environment.
2. The large number of animals that live in the area will be affected since many of these animals will die quickly due to the great contamination that exists.
3. Economic activity will also be affected as many fishermen depend on this resource to survive and can not continue fishing on the site.
The impact that causes the oil spill immediately is that it creates a film on the sea surface that prevents the entry of light into the water. Within the marine ecosystem there are different species, as is the case of algae, which need the arrival of light in order to perform photosynthesis. Acute contamination, which can lead to the death of many organisms. Oil can damage the insulating layer of skin or feathers of seals and seabirds, causing hypothermia. Contaminate algae and other marine sources of food, causing the extinction of certain species of plants and animals. The marine creatures that breathe by gills can be victims of suffocation
ReplyDeleteIn the longer term, the spill causes damage to the reproductive and feeding system of all organisms in the marine ecosystem. It affects tourism and many coastal cities and towns live on tourists who frequent the maritime zones. A spill of oil near the coast can affect fishing, sports with maritime vessels and swimming in these places. People who live near a spill area may come into contact with the same toxins as sea creatures. Oil can infiltrate drinking water systems, or the land. And some components of petroleum can be carcinogenic. In addition, seafood consumption without knowing that they are contaminated can lead to poisoning.
(1) The three consequences that immediately affect the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are first; the death of animals. Second, the death of people who were in that place. Finally, pollution in the waters.
ReplyDelete(2) The three long-term consequences in the Gulf of Mexico for the Mexico spill; is first, in that area will be of great danger to health, because it is contaminated.
Second, we will obtain less food due to the death of the animals that can be consumed. Finally, it could not be a tourist zone.
1. The immedrat impact would be very bad. Marine ecosystem with all of his different species, such as algae would suffer the lack of sunligt entry on the ocean because the creation of a film on the sea surface, that going to stop the photosynthesis process. Other organisms, gomna suffer because the toxicity of oil compuonds.
