Deepwater Horizon oil spill, also called Gulf of Mexico oil spill, largest marine oil spill in history, caused by an April 20, 2010, explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig—located in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 41 miles (66 km) off the coast of Louisiana—and its subsequent sinking on April 22. An oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last week may be the largest in the U.S. since the 2010 blowout at BP Plc’s Macondo well that sank the Deepwater Horizon rig and killed 11 people. The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) has been a sponsor and founding member of the Executive Committee of the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science (GoMOSES) conference since it began in 2013. The Gulf Research Program and the Sea Grant Oil Spill Science Outreach Program recently released five regional reports and one summary report from a collaborative workshop series on oil spill preparedness. The workshops were held between December 2018 and May 2019 in five states affected by oil spills - Alabama, Alaska, California, Louisiana
The Gulf Research Program is a sponsor and exhibitor at the 2020 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science Conference (GoMOSES 2020). GoMOSES February 12, 2020 exploded, releasing 210 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico for a total of 87 days, making it the largest oil spill in U.S. history.

The World's Worst Oil Spill A controlled burn of oil is conducted near the source of the BP Plc Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana July 15, 2010. BP Plc said a pressure test on its damaged Macondo well halted the flow of oil into the Gulf for the first time in three months. Nine years ago, BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded off the coast of Louisiana, causing the worst oil spill in US history. The disaster on April 20, 2010 killed 11 workers as the flaming rig sank into the Gulf of Mexico. It took nearly three months to stem the flow of oil from the ruptured undersea well. The Gulf oil spill is recognized as the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Within days of the April 20, 2010 explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 people, underwater cameras revealed the BP pipe was leaking oil and gas on the ocean floor about 42 miles off the coast of Louisiana. It can take a decade or more for oil spill victims to recover from the physical and psychological effects of an oil disaster. The impact of the oil spill on fisheries could total $8.7 billion by 2020, including the loss of 22,000 jobs. While the rest of the world forgot to check to see if the victims on the Gulf Coast were made whole, many in the region are coming to terms with the fact that being made whole isn’t an option anymore. The Gulf Research Program and the Sea Grant Oil Spill Science Outreach Program recently released five regional reports and one summary report from a collaborative workshop series on oil spill preparedness. The workshops were held between December 2018 and May 2019 in five states affected by oil spills - Alabama, Alaska, California, Louisiana
On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon/BP MC252 drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 workers and caused the rig to sink. As a result, oil began leaking into the Gulf creating one of the largest spills in American history. During the next 87 days an estimated 4 million barrels (168 million gallons) were released Nine years ago, BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded off the coast of Louisiana, causing the worst oil spill in US history. The disaster on April 20, 2010 killed 11 workers as the The Gulf Coast oil spill continues to dominate the news as Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California, revealed that the oil company privately told the Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight that the well failed a key pressure test just hours before it exploded on April 20. After leaking into the Gulf of Mexico for 14 years, an oil spill off the coast of Louisiana is likely to become the worst in U.S. history, according to The Washington Post.

Oil was also present in the Loop Current that carries water from the Gulf around the southern tip of Florida through the Keys and up toward Miami. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also referred to as the BP oil spill, oil leak, or oil disaster; the Gulf of Mexico oil spill; and the Macondo blowout) is an industrial disaster that began on April 20, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico on the BP-operated Macondo Prospect, considered to be the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum If you are paying by check, please make it out to "Gulf of Mexico Alliance" and mail to: Gulf of Mexico Alliance, 1151 Robinson Street, Ocean Springs, MS 39564 Refunds If a registration is cancelled on or before December 6, 2019, a full refund will be issued, minus a small processing fee based on payment type.
