How do oil and dispersants move around the environment?
How do oil and dispersants break down over time?
How do oil and dispersants impact the environment?
How do oil spills impact public health?

Where did the oil go?
http://gulfseagrant.org/oilspilloutreach gulfseagrant.org/oilspilloutreach
Top 5 frequently asked questions about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill • Is Gulf seafood safe to eat?• What are the impacts to wildlife?• What cleanup techniques were used, and how were
they implemented?• Where did the oil go and where is it now?• Do dispersants make it unsafe to swim in the water?
