Beijing on July 17 (Xinhuanet Ding Fei), according to Voice of China, "News Coverage," 8:46 report, according to "The New York Times" recently reported that U.S. scientists said the oil spill is affecting the Gulf of Mexico submarine food chain. Scientists have found that changes in the food chain some clues, like a number of bio-crude oil spill have died or suffered serious pollution, while others have adapted to the contamination of biological environment, populations are proliferating.
Oil spill incidents in the Gulf of Mexico nearly three months later, BP 15, finally announced a new underwater oil control device has been successfully covering the spill point, "no more oil into the Gulf of Mexico", a newspaper said This is the worst oil spill in U.S. history painting on the period. But by contrast, things are probably not so easy to end, things were just beginning. Gulf of Mexico sea of oil droplets, are slowly penetrated the seabed environment, daily life of residents along the invasion.
In fact, from April 22 as early as the Gulf of Mexico oil platform explosion the moment, attention benthic ecosystems on many scientists have been included in the schedule of the. But with the further increase of oil leakage, the focus has been gradually transferred to the plugging and accountability on these issues, but the voice of the ecological environment reduced. Until recently, British Petroleum finally plugging the event something of an explanation, saying that the new oil control mask has been successfully covering the underwater oil spill point, This issue is given in plugging an answer. But now, the media, including the public is slowly turning to more accountability and a long-term environmental issues.
Recently, the Associated Press, The New York Times and other U.S. media have released photos of two months, a series of oil spills, some of them pictures of sea and seabed makes shocking. Underwater food chain is changing, mainly two opposite directions:
On the one hand, there are some creatures because of the leakage of crude oil have died or suffered serious pollution, such as the U.S. scientists in the sea near the sheath is large Mian Ji Hai Fa Xian death. Shaped like a cucumber and this is the sea squirt turtle food. In addition, the U.S. government announced this month, the latest data on the display, cleaning staff have been found in the Gulf of Mexico waters 547 birds have died, while the actual figure could be far more than the statistics.
On the other hand, some are slow to adapt to this kind of biological pollution of the environment, population began to surge. Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. media has shown a complex underwater world food chain shows that micro-organisms that can digest oil turned out to be the first part of the food chain. In other words, because the increase in oil spills caused by oil droplets, will stimulate them suitable for growing in a polluted environment, biological, and thus promote the whole food chain imbalance.
U.S. House of Representatives today passed a bill, BP could face up to 7 years of oil and gas exploration bans and higher compensation. However, the impact of the food chain on the seabed, the current behavior of accountability more difficult to quantify, so more difficult. Experts also said that changing the food chain is not reversible, not to restore the hope of the entire food chain will be the impact of crude oil. U.S. scientists say that if the reorganization occurred undersea food chain, then the United States billions of dollars in fishing industry will face huge risks.
There are many animal protection organizations also subject to prosecute British Petroleum, as the United States environmental and wildlife conservation organizations, said the number of animals to statistics in this killed their claims key evidence. At present we understand that the Government of Canada is also on the oil spill could cause damage to the situation of tuna stocks proceedings against BP. So now is definitely not for BP BP can breath, they will face problems will come one after another.
