Jayla Jefferson By-103 oceans and you lab 2/29/2024 Oil Spills 00;55 talks about the oil spill on the Gulf Coast and how bp decided it was cheaper to sink the oil than clean it up they also talk about 01;07 how for the cameras it was shown that they were cleaning up the oil but in reality, they weren’t. I wanted to know did they really wanted to hide the oil for money because why BP has enough money to get an idea to clean up the oil but in the end, it all turned on them and they ended up paying more money afterward. this statement is true according to the video 53:53 the video states that BP was in fact trying to hide the oil they were also hit with countless lawsuits including under the Clean Water Act, also the people who died from the explosion family go paid BP. Settle for a 20.8 billion settlement even afterward in 2019 22,833 workers got sick as cleanup workers for BP. They paid them roughly 67 million dollars. 02;27 April 20, 2010, a deep-water Horizon exploded there was talk about a broken wellhead that oil was shooting out oil like a volcano. This statement is true. 3;43 The oil that was shooting out 1000 barrels a day after further investigation this stamen is false according to an article in 2020 the oil spill released 3.19 million barrels which is 134 million gallons of oil in the ocean. 14.36 bp sprayed tons of chemical proprietary into the gulf that was banned in their home country England. Why was the chemical proprietary banned in England after further investigation because of the dangerous side effects when taken in excess, like in the case of this man who consumed too much whiskey containing propylene glycol and developed central nervous system depression. 27;46 Propylene glycol Is found in the water on the shore of Louisiana alongside Corexit. This statement is true. 42.40 1.2mil of Corexit dispersant was used, I find this number not to be accurate so after investigation I found this to not be true there were approximately 1.8 million gallons of chemical dispersant. Peer review articles Community resilience and Oil Spills in coastal Louisiana. This article talks about lasting resilience is suggested by the continued existence of coastal communities in Louisiana, even after centuries of technological and natural disasters. This study

examines "inherent resilience," or the coping mechanisms that people who live in areas dependent on natural resources use to deal with disruptions and that are ingrained in their collective memory, through a comparative historical analysis. The analysis divides actions taken before and after a string of oil spills into four categories: response, recovery, anticipation, and decreased vulnerability, according to Wilbanks. It is possible to determine the advantages and disadvantages of these various types of resilience by contrasting the innate resilience of local communities with that of formal government and corporations. The article “I Remember the Mental Chaos While They Tried To Seal the Well and Clean Up the Oil Spill – How Much Fear and Uncertainty Everyone Felt”: An interview with Marylee and Michael Orr, Louisiana Environmental Action Network, talks about a family and the issues they had during the Deep Water Horizon spill, the state and federal closure of fishing grounds, the moratorium on oil exploration and production activity during the clean-up efforts, and the immense trauma inflicted on fishing families (including those whose boats were used in the effort). They describe how their organization came to be, how it grew, its role in local environmental justice initiatives, and how they created a rapid response strategy for community empowerment based on clearing, respect, consensus, and action—a vision that is similar to Paulo Freire's work and the principles of community-based participatory research. co-learning As one of the Gulf Coast Health Alliance's primary community partners, they talk about the cooperative seafood sampling site map and toxicology primer they created and preserved:
