Greenpeace launched a three-month expedition aimed at supporting independent research into the impacts of the Gulf oil disaster on marine life, as well as researching the unique environments and marine life that are at risk.Locations:Gulf of Mexico-North America-United States of AmericaDate:27 Aug, 2010Credit:© Daniel Beltrá / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5089px X 3393pxKeywords:Aerial view-Climate (campaign title)-Day-KWCI (GPI)-MY Arctic Sunrise-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Outdoors-Seascapes-Toxics (campaign title)Shoot:MY Arctic Sunrise Gulf Oil ExpeditionGreenpeace, partnered with teams of independent scientists, used the MY Arctic Sunrise on a three-month expedition to conduct a series of scientific research programs to further understanding of the impacts of both oil and chemical dispersant on the Gulf ecosystem in the aftermath of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The BP leased drilling platform exploded on April 20 causing a leak of millions of barrels of oil from a wellhead one mile deep 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana. Finally capped in August, the leak was treated with more than a million gallons of Corexit, a toxic dispersant. In this second leg of the voyage, the ship sailed in transects around the leaking well site while scientists investigated the effects on plankton and marine mammals.Related Collections:MY Arctic Sunrise Gulf Oil Expedition (Photo & Videos)
