ENGLONE - Summarization
The BP oil spill is America's greatest environmental disaster to date. Its true impact will take months to emerge. Experts say the depth of the spill coupled with the chemicals used to break it down before it surfaced, pose an unknown threat. Louisiana is affected the most, as it is closest to the oil spill. Sheets of oil have reached wetlands and wildlife nurseries. Oil debris has also reached Mississippi and Alabama. Livelihoods are affected as the U.S. waters in the Gulf of Mexico are closed to fishing. Traveling oil plumes are a major threat since they can be hundreds of meters deep and several miles wide. The disaster has already taken--and is continuously endangering--human and animal lives. Heavy marine life casualties are yet to be reported. The oil spill, if left unchecked, may radically alter the food-chain.
