Oil Spills happens when people make mistakes or are careless and cause an oil tanker to leak oil into the ocean.
Sometimes when countries were at war they would dump oil into each others oceans.
In the Exxon Valdez oil spill, 2,800 sea otters and 250,000 sea birds were killed. The spill was 1,300 miles! It took 10,000 workers, 1,000 boats, 100 airplanes, and the navy, army, and the airforce. They spent $2.1 billion. It took 4 summers.
Many fisherman has reported that they've been ill because of the chemicals of the BP oil.
Sea otters are affected by oil in many ways. If they get covered then it would build up the air bubbles.
Since oil has been in the ocean, it can lead to extinction of animals.
Animals try to clean themselves, but swollows the oil . They have hyperthermia because of it.
An organization named The National Wildlife Federation has that there is already more than 150 sea turtles lying dead.
Terrorists dump oil in oceans in order to get people's attention.
A large amount of the oil that has been spilled has been carried along the loop current located at the east-central Gulf of Mexico.
There has been an estimate that is 17-39 million gallons of oil dumped into the oceans.
Since the Gulf of Mexico is also part of Hurricane season, it could spread across the oceans leading to many deaths. It can lead to a stronger hurricane.
