Coast Guard Pegs Oily Gulf Sheen On Macondo as Damages Trial Nears

摘要

Environmental experts warned that the Macondo wreck could possibly continue releasing small amounts of oil for years - if not for decades. And now there's proof after the US Coast Guard and BP tied the source of a light, oily sheen on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico to the now-abandoned and plugged well. The sheen was first reported Sep. 16 to the Coast Guard by BP.
