Nine Years Later, the BP Oil Spill’s Environmental Mess Isn’t Gone While most of the spill’s acute effects—oil soaked birds, beaches slick with crude—have dissipated, Boesch says Oil Spill Pollution refers to the negative polluting effects that oil spills have on the environments and living organisms, including humans, due to the environmental discharge of various organic compounds that make up crude oil and oil distillate products, the majority of which include various individual hydrocarbons. Oil spills often happen because of accidents, when people make mistakes or equipment breaks down. Other causes include natural disasters or deliberate acts. Oil spills have major environmental and economic effects. Oil spills can also affect human health. These effects can depend on what kind of oil was spilled and where (on land, in a river, or in the ocean). The impact this oil might have on deep sea life isn't fully understood. There are complex ecosystems deep beneath the ocean that might die out as a result of being flooded with oil. State and federal governments are spending millions of dollars in an attempt to contain the oil spill while engineers try to find a way to stop it. BP abandoned an attempt to plug the oil well with mud -- the so-called top kill procedure -- when engineers began to worry about the integrity of the well bore itself. Oil spills leave long term damage to animal species, their habitats, nesting and breeding grounds that these animals need for their survival. This is one of the most far devastating environmental effects of oil spills. Though some species spend their lives at sea such as turtles they always come ashore to lay their eggs.

Off-shore oil spills can do great harm to many components of natural ecosystems. Some of the most Oil spills can also have indirect effects on wildlife by causing changes in behavior: oil spill. Marine Environmental Research 51: 167–190.

May 10, 2010 What scientists know about how oil spills affect the environment is drawn from The spill has the potential to affect Louisiana's fragile Gulf Coast marshes and says that these patrols are “not something we do on a normal basis. “This is uncharted territory in terms of assessing the effects of a spill from a  Nov 10, 2010 Major oil spills typically trigger heightened public concern for highly visible However, because these events do not occur every day and are multiple small oil spills, which occur almost daily, have effects on our coastal ecosystems. Intensive environmental monitoring and research following the spill 

Major oil spills occur occasionally and receive considerable public attention because of determining effects of petroleum hydrocarbons in the marine environment For example in marine birds, young, inexperienced animals do not have the 

Enactment of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 has led to an increased emphasis on Oil-Spill Impacts on Environmental Resources — studies of the effects of oil on  following an oil spill, affects the ultimate environmental impact and cost resulting from a spill. Crude oils do have a residue after evaporation is completed.

How often do oil spills happen? Over the past four and half decades – the time for which we have data – oil spills from tankers decreased very substantially. Technology helps reduce the effects of drilling and producing oil Most oil spills are the result of accidents at oil wells or with the pipelines, ships, trains, required all new oil tankers built for use between U.S. ports to have a full double hull. Oils spills may also have long-term impacts on the environment by disrupting the effects and size of natural oil seeps in the oceans are unknown, but we do  Oil spills are a particularly frightening and shocking environmental disaster, due in part to the immediately visible consequences to animals and habitat.
