Coral Communities Harmed by Gulf Oil Spill The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill had a serious negative impact on deep-sea coral communities more than seven miles from the spill site in the Gulf of Mexico. That’s the verdict after a series of underwater investigations led by Penn State Professor of Biology Charles Fisher in the USA. The study, which included scientists from Haverford College, Temple University, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as well as Penn State, grew out of an initial research cruise in late October 2010, approximately six months after the Deepwater Horizon spill. »» 0 comment(s)

BP's 35-foot-tall, 100-ton device now joins the other systems designed to work in deep-water wells around the world, such as the Gulf of Mexico, Angola and the North Sea.
