WWF on the Gulf Oil Spill
There has been a major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and it only happened a few weeks ago. Massive amounts of huge populations of fish live there, and now they are dying. This has happened once before, in the waters of the Arctic near Alaska and Canada. The ship was the Exxon Valdez.

The oil spill is killing thousands of millions of fish and sea creatures. The oil is contaminating their habitat. Whenever they need to breathe, obviously through their gills, they breathe in the toxic oil. After a few breaths, they die. Its not only fish. There are otters, plants, algae, coral, and so much more. Something needs to be done.
