90 mi from the Louisiana CoastMay 12th, 2016.
Shell spills 90,000 gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. So why isn't this as big in the media as the BP oil spill in 2010? The Coast Guard has a threshold of 100,000 to consider it a "major spill" and declared that there was no environmental damage, although the span was 2 miles by 13 miles. The reason we should be even more worried though is just because of the fact that it's labeled as a minor spill; which means less money for research and clean up, and less action against the company who polluted our ocean.
