Help Fight the Oil Spill in the gulf of mexico
Volunteer Clean-up Program overview
The environmental catastrophe incited by a violent explosion at a BP offshore gas and oil platform continues to spill over 5,000 barrels of oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico. All efforts to plug the leak have been unsuccessful. Controlled burning of surface oil and dilution have are a few of the mitigation tactics being implemented in what is becoming the largest and most damaging oil spill in history. The offshore gas and oil platform taps deep into an oil reserve nearly 18,000 feet beneath the earth’s surface. The oil reserve can continue to spill into the gulf until it can be successfully plugged.
One of the largest environmental cleanup efforts in history has been initiated to restore the gulf regions to a condition that can sustain wildlife.

Oil Spill News
Get up to the minute news updates regarding the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
June 2, 2010
Oil from the explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig, is steadily approaching the beaches of Pensacola, Florida. US Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen announced that the oil spill is now within 7 miles of the coast. Engineers have devised a “Cut and Cap” plan of attack to slow down the flow of oil into the gulf. However, efforts to stop the oil were brought to a halt when a diamond encrusted saw became wedged and immovable while cutting through the blown-out pipeline. Admiral Allen further stated that stopping the leak will take a minimum of two more months.
