Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico 2010 and 20 Dead Turtles are washed Ashore. In possibly the worst environmental disaster since Alaskas Exxon Valdez spill in the late 1980s, the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico just keeps getting worse and worse. Not only has the government issued a 10 day fishing ban, but now dead turtles are said to be washing up ashore. The oil spill started after an explosion at the Deepwater Horizon rig, an offshore drilling platform ran by Transocean for BP. This caused the platform to capsize and an oil head to rupture. For many days now, estimates point to somewhere around 200000 gallons of crude oil are being poured into the waters of the Gulf. The Gulf produces between 1/4 and 1/3 of all the nations sea food. Prices of sea food will likely rise as the supply dwindles. Entire families could lose their livelihood and already states are pushing for the area to be declared a disaster so that those affected by the oil slick can receive money set aside from the government.
