The Gulf of Mexico is an insanely diverse ecosystem that needs some help protecting its inhabitants from environmental disasters such as oil spills. Oil spills are a big issue in our environment because they not only impact the location where the disaster occurred. Oil that has spilled can impact animals on land, in the sky, and under the sea. The Gulf of Mexico has so many different currents running through it that it is almost impossible to clean up enough oil to make it safe for animals to live again. The Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle is one of the marine species that has been impacted most by the oil in the Gulf. One oil spill in particular, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, has erased years of species preservation efforts, making the Kemp’s Ridley dangerously close to extinction. My goal for this project was to inform people about the danger this sea turtle species is in and to provide ways and resources people can use to help prevent their extinction.
