Since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico on April 21, 2010, the emphasis has been on capping the oil well and protecting the shoreline. The immediate environmental impact is clearly visible. However, the direct and indirect economic impacts in the coastal areas of the five Gulf States are not yet fully known. Dun and Bradstreet, a world leader in business information and commercial insight, has prepared a preliminary analysis of the potential economic impact.

Monitoring and sampling information | Gulf of Mexico response ...
More Information
This section includes the data as well as the sampling and monitoring programs and plans. Please note that much of this sampling and monitoring is being undertaken for the purpose of the response. Plans and techniques are based on needs and may change with changing incident management circumstances.
Conditions encountered in the field may necessitate deviation from an event-specific plan to ensure collection of reliable data. Additionally, it is important to note that there are other agencies and organizations collecting data which is not directed by BP. That data is not discussed in this summary. Results and plans will be updated as they become available.
