Many fish that were exposed to Deepwater Horizon oil survived; however, they may have experienced later-in-life impacts that affected their ability to survive longer than fish that did not experience oil exposure.

Researchers conducted mesocosm experiments that simulated beach ecosystems to assess if razor clams, which are bioturbators, can influence environmental conditions and the fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

CRGC PI Participates in Collaborative Workshop Series Kick-Off
Dr. Melissa Finucane presented her research on risk communication and participated in a panel discussion on Sharing Oil Spill Experiences and Insights. The workshop series (“Regional Priority Setting for Health, Social, And Economic Disruption from Spills”) focuses on public health, social disruption, and economic impacts in relation to oil spills and is presented by the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, GoMRI, and various Sea Grant partners.
CWC PI Featured on GulfCast Podcast
The episode hosts Dr. Nancy Rabalais of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) as she discusses her team’s work researching blue crab recovery following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
