Scientists, environmentalists, and fishermen along the coast have warned of further environmental threats caused by the deadly explosion at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in 2010.

A senior campaign director at the environmental group Oceana has criticized the US for focusing more on gasoline prices rather than environmental issues.

“Politics continue to triumph over common sense. It’s outrageous that so little progress has been made to make offshore drilling safer,” Oceana’s senior campaign director Jacqueline Savitz said, warning of more such disasters.

Scientists say people remain vulnerable as oil is still present on the beaches.

Fishermen also say dead dolphins are washing up on the shore, while fish lower on the food chain are showing signs of chemical poisoning.

The Deepwater Horizon rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana on April 20, 2010, killing 11 workers and spewing more than 200 million gallons of oil from an undersea well owned by British Petroleum (BP PLC). The oil leak is described as the worst environmental disaster in the US history.

Last month, giant oil corporation British Petroleum (BP) agreed to pay USD 7.8 billion to settle a lawsuit with thousands of individuals affected by the oil spill disaster.
