A New Bureau Will Oversee Both #OffshoreDrilling and #SeabedMining
The new federal office will undo a change made after the 2010 #DeepwaterHorizon oil disaster. Critics say it could reduce environmental oversight.
The new agency, #MarineMineralsAdministration, will be formed by reunifying two offices that had been split up after the oil spill in an effort to increase environmental oversight of the energy industry and prevent future oil disasters.

🐦 Deepwater Horizon wasn’t a single failure.

It was a layered collapse.

Each boundary depended on the one below—until the base failed.

“The lawsuit alleges #BP has failed to provide legally required information related to the project and the company has been unable to demonstrate it can safely drill at such extreme depths, where “loss of well control” incidents, which occurred in #DeepwaterHorizon, become more likely.

BP has also not shown it has the containment capabilities to prevent a much larger oil spill, of around 4.5m barrels of #oil, to spread across the Gulf, the lawsuit alleges.“

The #DeepwaterHorizon disaster began on #ThisDayInHistory in 2010. #Transocean, the platform owner leasing it to #BP, was disproportionately responsible for #GulfOfMexico safety failings, and US regulators did not require blowout preventers. The largest ever #OilSpill followed.

Hartl said that boats would no longer be required to run at lower speeds to reduce the number of collisions with the #whales, which are only found in the #GulfOfMexico.

There are currently only about 51 #RicesWhales left, acc/to the Center for Biological Diversity. The population collapsed following the 2010 #DeepwaterHorizon explosion at a #BP operated #oil rig, which resulted in the largest-ever #marine #OilSpill.
