The deep sea soft-sediment ecosystem in the immediate area of the 2010's Deepwater Horizon well head blowout and subsequent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will likely take decades to recover from the spill's impacts, according to a new scientific paper. The paper is the first to give comprehensive results of the spill's effect on deepwater
communities at the base of the Gulf's food chain. [Source: NOAA News]
