Summary:In this article they found dead coral near the oil spill the coral sites were at least 3miles away from the oil spill, the corals don't form singles they form in sites so that means that the coral were being extinguished in large numbers coral sites were found 7miles from the southwest from the at a depth of 4,500ft at a site were large oils plumes were discovered were they were drifting through the ocean the big areas of were the darkened coral and other things that were damaged like marine organisms from exposure of toxic substances. They were found on Tuesday on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel while using a sea sub robot with cameras and tools with samples these founding are very relevant in this circumstance
Reaction: It would be very surprising if they did not find anything damaged or dead from the oil spill its obvious that it did a severe amount of damage to the oceanic environment this is not the last of all the dead things that are being discovered =(

o_o ; this is crazy . so that means the oil from the spill has spread even more around the ocean .
ReplyDeleteWhat if it spreads a great amount in the oceans that water from out sinks , shower etc become infested with oil and sicknesses . I had heard that there was already a tye of sickness flowing through showers and water . Corals are also a huge thing to sea life . it makes the ocean dead without corals and reefs :x
It's really sad how human activities have infected environments like this and caused these types of deaths to all types of living organisms. @ Murcus omg what kind of sickness are you talking about, i dont want to get any sickness off from tryong to be clean and take a shower every morning!!
ReplyDeleteCoral reefs are areas that have incredible biodiversity. This oil spill is affecting so many different species of plants and animals. We really haven't seen, nor can we really predict, the long term effects of this spill.
ReplyDeletei am still mad about that oil spill because like mr randazo said there plants and animals that we never seen or heard of that are dieing and probably going extinct well at least we dont have to worrie aboutthe oil spill killing any more animals because it stoped
