Oil slick can be seen visibly on the water from the bridge of the supply vessel Joe Griffin at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico since April 20th, 2010. The volume of spill to date is by far America's worst-ever, surpassing the volume of the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster; and is still continue gushing at least several hundred of gallons of oil daily from the 5,000 feet undersea 's blown out valve.
It all began with an explosion; which blasted apart an oil rig and killed 11 workers; Oil has now fouled the coast of a fourth state, Florida, where swimmers in Pensacola rushed out of the water after getting slime by oil. In Louisiana, where coastal marshes have morphed into oil pools killing wildlife and putting fishermen and shrimpers livelihood at risk.
Scenes of pelican waddling ashore dripping globs of oil and smaller oil sludge covered birds being knocked over by wave . The brown pelican, Louisiana state 's bird choking to death on BP's spill oil is heart wrecking scene, the fear of more sea creatures like sea turtle, fishes, dolphin, sea lion will be added to the list of endanger species is getting longer as the day go by in and around the gulf of Mexico.
