If you have heard of the major oil spill of the Gulf Coast of New Orleans than you would know that this big glob of stuff that is in the oceans spreads over about 80 miles. The military planned that on last Wednesday to help the Coast Guard clean up the mess. They also said they were going to try and burn the oil. And to also put a collection dome so that no more of it leaks. They are really trying to clean it up the ocean because they know that having the ocean destroyed can be upset the very fragile ecosystem. It's mainly a problem for the fish and the birds because the birds are beginning to breed and nest which makes them extremely vulnerable because the oil could wash up on shore. Ten wildlife refuges in Mississippi and Louisiana are most likely to be affected. The Pass-a-Loutre Wildlife Management Area, at the tip of the Mississippi River is most likely to be affected first. Luckily, they have recovered more than 18,000 barrels of the oil-water mix. They also have deployed 100,000 gallons of dispersant, which breaks up oil, on late Thursday evening. But, that is the only thing that I have heard so far I will try to keep you updated.

It is good thing that the military is cleaning the major oil spill. The oil spill would continue hurting the environment for sea animal in the ocean if they didn't clean up the mess. -Han
