Oil Spills

My Idea to Fix the Problem

Efforts to Fix the Problem

Jordan Pohle

Other Animals Affected by Oil Spills

I think that the government should take a more active role by:

  • Not only making regulations for oil companies, but by sending government officials to make sure those regulations are being followed
  • Making sure that these companies pay fines and clean up completely if there is a spill
  • Holding the companies responsible for all the funds needed to save any harmed wildlife or area
  • The government is trying to make oil companies more responsible for their actions by:
  • Money
  • Raising taxes and costs for the company after a spill
  • Fining businesses after a spill
  • Regulations
  • Telling companies that they need to put more men on each oil rig to fix any leaks when they occur

Seabirds land in the spill and are unable to take off again because they are covered in oil. Eventually, they drown or are suffocated by the oil.

How They Affect Us

Oil rides the top of waves and is carried away from its original site to beaches and reefs

These "lakes" of oil were caused by an oil spill in Kuwait and not only are destroying the environment, but also caught fire. There fires were so large and destructive, they could be seen from space, as shown below.

When the oil washes up onto the beaches, tourist areas are closed off and beaches are not longer usable for people

Beaches and Shallow Waters

How Animals are Affected

Oil washes upon beaches and gets caught in tide pools, ruining the environment for the small organisms that live there.
