Reflection Paper on Gulf Oil Spill This presentation had a deep impact on me because I had been living in Gulf Breeze‚ Florida at the time of the spill. Gulf Breeze is located 15 miles West of Pensacola and the reefs and beaches were severely impacted by it. Not only did the spill impact the environment but also the tourism which that city needed to thrive; in turn businesses closed and restaurants plundered. When I looked outside my bedroom window at the ocean‚ instead of seeing the bright blue

The explosion caused a sea-floor level oil blowout‚ and crude oil was leaked into the surrounding water for three months before a solution was found. After eighty-seven long days‚ the wellhead

INTRODUCTION Due to the very nature of oil resources‚ the environment is invariably affected. The first way in which the environment is affected by the oil industry is through both the drilling and the transportation processes. The chemicals used in the drilling can be harmful to the environment‚ drilling itself poses a great danger‚ for instance in case of an oil spill (as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill showed)‚ and as the Exxon Valdez disaster so evidently portrayed‚ transportation can be equally
