BP Oil Spill Worsens With No Solution in Sight, 210,000 Gallons a Day Spew into Gulf of Mexico
Federal authorities have banned commercial and recreational fishing in a large stretch of water in the Gulf of Mexico due to the massive oil spill caused by a BP-operated rig that exploded nearly two weeks ago. An estimated 210,000 gallons of oil a day is pouring into the Gulf in what might turn out to be the worst industrial environmental disaster in you.S. history. We speak with Riki Ott, a marine toxicologist and a former commercial salmon fisherma"am from Alaska who experienced firsthand the devastating effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Ref. Source 6
