82. ITOPF - About Marine Spills - Effects Of Oil Spills Oil spills can have serious effects on marine life, as highlighted by the photos of dead birds which regularly appear in the news after such an event. http://www.itopf.com/marine-spills/effects/

Skip Navigation 24-hour Emergency No: Search our site: Home About ITOPF What We Do History ... Contact Effects of Oil Spills Oil spills can have serious effects on marine life, as highlighted by the photos of dead birds which regularly appear in the news after such an event. Such images fuel the perception of widespread and permanent environmental damage after every spill, and an inevitable loss of marine resources with serious economic repercussions. A science-based appraisal of the effects reveals that whilst damage occurs and may be profound at the level of individual organisms, populations are more resilient and natural recovery processes are capable of repairing the damage and returning the system to normal functions. The first stage on the road to recovery is usually a well conducted clean-up operation but in some specific habitats aggressive clean-up methods can cause more harm than good and then it is better to let natural cleaning processes take their course. Many spill impacts have been documented in the scientific and technical literature, and although not all the effects of oil pollution are completely understood, an indication of the likely scale and duration of damage can usually be deduced from the information available. However, it can be difficult to present a balanced view of the realities of spill effects, given the often highly charged and emotional nature of a spill and its aftermath. The scientific community can become polarised into opposing camps with one side intent on quantifying every aspect of damage, and the other emphasising the capacity of the environment to recover naturally. The simple reality is that sometimes significant damage occurs, sometimes not and the aim of these pages is to draw together what general information is known about spill effects and their longevity.

Click on the links at the end of the page to find more information on Environmental Impact of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry. Oil spills in the marine environment Fate and behavior of oil in the marine environment Complex processes of oil transformation in the marine environment start developing from the first seconds of oil's contact with seawater. The progression, duration, and result of these transformations depend on the properties and composition of the oil itself, parameters of the actual oil spill, and environmental conditions. The main characteristics of oil transformations are their dynamism, especially at the first stages, and the close interaction of physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms of dispersion and degradation of oil components up to their complete disappearance as original substances. Similar to an intoxicated living organism, a marine ecosystem destroys, metabolizes, and deposits the excessive amounts of hydrocarbons, transforming them into more common and safer substances.

Click to go to recovery.gov The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today marked the resumption of an important habitat restoration project at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park near Destin, FL funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The project, which was temporarily delayed by the response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, is a joint effort with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Division of Recreation and Parks, and Three Rivers Resource Conservation and Development Council. “The continuation of the Topsail Hill Preserve project is creating environmental and economic benefits for Florida’s Gulf Coast region,” said Acting Fish and Wildlife Service Director Rowan Gould. “This Recovery Act project is part of a long-range plan to restore Topsail Hill Preserve State Park to its natural state, restore the proper flow of water, and encourage plants and animals to return and flourish,” said Gould. “Our partnerships with multiple agencies on projects such as this are helping the Service to make a tremendous difference in the health of local communities across the nation, while making important contributions to the future of America’s wildlife and wild places.”

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill About Latest News About The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is the lead state agency for responding to impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill along Florida�s shoreline. This website is the primary location for updates and information on response actions, impacts and recovery efforts in the state of Florida. On Tuesday, April 20, 2010 an offshore oil drilling platform, Deepwater Horizon, exploded in the Gulf of Mexico near Louisiana. The rig, owned by Transocean Ltd, was under contract to BP. The State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activated on April 30 in response to this event. The Deepwater Horizon well was capped on July 15, 2010 and is no longer discharging oil into the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday, August 27, 2010 the State Emergency Operations Center transitioned to a Level 3 monitoring status, marking the second longest activation in EOC history at 120 days. It is likely that beaches in Northwest Florida will continue to receive isolated impacts, mainly scattered tar balls, in the coming months caused by natural tides and weather conditions. It is possible that immediately following any tropical activity, lingering ocean swells and higher tides could push offshore tar ball fields closer to the coast. State emergency management officials continue to coordinate with federal, state and local partners to ensure that any further impacts to Florida�s coastline are removed quickly and efficiently.

Then in 1990, Texas had its own environmental scare when the tanker Mega Borg spilled 5.1 million gallons of oil 57 miles southeast of Galveston while offloading crude onto another tanker. The next year, the Texas Legislature created the Oil Spill Prevention and Response Program at the Texas General Land Office. With more than 1.2 billion barrels of oil passing near Texas wetlands, bays and beaches along the Texas Gulf Coast each year, the Texas General Land Office Oil Spill Prevention and Response Program (OSPR) has the responsibility of making sure that oil stays out of Texas waters.

The Oil Drum Discussions about Energy and Our Future Stories tagged with "Deepwater Horizon" Posted by Gail the Actuary on October 30, 2010 - 10:35am Topic: Environment/Sustainability Tags: deepwater horizon oil spill list all tags We have not had an open thread on the oil spill in a while. The oil spill commission released a letter with an attached 38 page analysis this week indicating problems with Halliburton's cementing. This is a link to the letter from Mr. Bartlit to the Oil Spill Commission, dated October 28. It says, in part, We asked Halliburton to supply us samples of materials like those actually used at the Macondo well so that we could investigate issues surrounding the cement failure. Halliburton provided us off-the-shelf cement and additive materials used at the Macondo well from their stock. Although these materials did not come from the specific batches used at the Macondo well, they are in all other ways identical in composition to the slurry used there. . . We attach Chevron’s report of its laboratory tests, and we have invited one of its experts to discuss that report with you at the public hearing on November 9. Chevron’s report states, among other things, that its lab personnel were unable to generate stable foam cement in the laboratory using the materials provided by Halliburton and available design information regarding the slurry used at the Macondo well. Although laboratory foam stability tests cannot replicate field conditions perfectly, these data strongly suggest that the foam cement used at Macondo was unstable. This may have contributed to the blowout.
