Science and the Gulf

After months of confusion and contradictory reports, the Obama
administration has at last embarked on a systematic effort involving some
of the nations top scientists to measure the amount of oil remaining in
the Gulf of Mexico and its potential impact on marine life. An interim
report could be ready in several months.
This is very good news. Though the full effects of the spill on the water
quality and animal life in the gulf will not be known for years, getting a
handle on whats happening now is essential to shaping the right strategy
for restoring the gulf to good health. Scientists say the picture changes
every day, as undersea oil plumes disperse and degrade. Getting a fix on
how much oil lies below the surface and where it is going will make
possible more-educated guesses about its effects on the natural system.
The boss of the study will be Jane Lubchenco, the administrator of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a respected marine
scientist. It will involve seagoing research vessels and extensive tests
in the water column, from the surface to the sea floor. It will draw on
the expertise of Ms. Lubchencos own agency; universities in Florida,
Louisiana and other gulf states; and independent research bodies like the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
For budgetary purposes, the study will be classified as one more component
of the governments ongoing response to the April spill, which means that
BP will pick up the tab, whatever that turns out to be. BP has already
promised to set aside $500 million to underwrite private scientific
studies in the gulf over the next 10 years.

Overview
An explosion on April 20 aboard the Deepwater Horizon, a drilling rig
working on a well for the oil company BP one mile below the surface of the
Gulf of Mexico, led to the largest accidental oil spill in history. After
a series of failed efforts to plug the leak, BP said on July 15 that it
had capped what it had named the Macondo well, marking the first time in
86 days that oil was not gushing into the gulf. The well was then plugged
with cement, but work proceeded on two relief wells that offer the
greatest certainty of a permanent fix.
Nearly five million barrels of oil gushed from BP's well, according to
estimates by government scientists, an amount that outstrips the estimated
3.3 million barrels spilled into the Bay of Campeche by the Mexican rig
Ixtoc I in 1979.
