Spill Containment

With the relatively recent BP/Transocean oil rig explosion and subsequent oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico still fresh on the minds of many Americans, many of whom continue to live on the Gulf coast, the question of “were the right spill containment strategies put in place?” still lingers. Although the oil spill cleanup process is on-going, it could very well be that alternate containment solutions may have been more effective at minimizing the impact of the spill.

Although oil spills can and do occur, the spill which was seen in the Gulf of Mexico this past spring and summer was something rare. Indeed, it has now been confirmed by various sources that this Gulf oil spill was, in fact, the biggest and worst which the United States has ever seen. With this in mind, it’s important to consider the ramifications of such an event; aside from the human impact, it’s also necessary to mention the ecological impact which can be attributed to such a spill, and undoubtedly, the Gulf oil spill has brought devastation in various forms to the Gulf and its residents. Needless to say, it is the opinion of many that more could have been done in order to contain the spill.

Although government officials as well as BP led the containment efforts in the Gulf, many are wondering whether other voices could have been heard.
