Oil spills off-shore near fishing reserves and beaches have the potential to change the way of life for everyone in the local area of concern, as well as, in distant locales. The timely resolution of such accidents is critically important to the survival of living species supported by the food chain in the affected sea and marshland. Cru
de oil will likely continue to move toward shore and be further distributed by currents, such as the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico. This current flows northward into the Gulf from the Yucatan Channel between Cuba and Mexico, loops southeastward at speeds up to 1.5 knots through the Florida Keys, then into the Bahamas and the east coast of the U.S., joining the larger and faster Gulf Stream.
Equally important is concern for the marshland areas in the Gulf of Mexico, which are wintering areas for ducks and geese, not to mention a source of nutrients for estuarine waters. Juvenile shrimp graze off the soft estuary floor before they move out in the Gulf to deep water. If tainted with oil, this could affect generations of shrimp, fish, and other species in the water column. Oil sedimentation would impact the entire ecosystem and the way of life for millions of Americans.

Experts estimate that an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could, by entering the Loop Current, deposit crude oil as far north as Cape Hatteras off North Carolina. There are more than 6,000 coral reefs in the Florida Straits that could be harmed in the process.
