Sixteen years on, Deepwater Horizon's deep sea damage persists

Original: Sixteen years after Deepwater Horizon, deep sea life shows few signs of recovery

A new report from Yale Environment 360 finds that sixteen years after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, deep sea life in the Gulf of Mexico shows few signs of recovery. Corals and other slow-growing deep sea ecosystems around the spill site remain damaged, underscoring how long-lasting the effects of the largest marine oil spill in history have been.

Why now: The finding arrives on the anniversary period of the disaster, renewing debate about offshore drilling's environmental toll and recovery timelines.
