Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

Oyster restoration in Coastal Alabama is continuing with funding through the Deepwater Horizon Natural Resources Damage Assessment Program. $7 million to aid the efforts has been approved by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

When a deadly explosion destroyed BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, 134 million gallons of crude erupted into the sea over the next three months — and tens of thousands of ordinary people were hired to help clean up environmental devastation from the biggest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. The aftermath of exposure of chemicals called oil dispersants was at the heart of Alabama Public Radio’s national award-winning documentary “Oil and Water: 10 Years Later.”
